- SQEP includes four phases:
- Right Item, Right Invoice (PO Accuracy)-->Advanced Shipment Notice (ASN) alerts DCs exactly what product is on the truck before delivery.
- Right Item, Right Condition (Barcode and Labeling Compliance)-->Walmart is trying to make sure that the barcodes are correct and legible for each item.
- Packaging, Pallet and Load Compliance-->Walmart is making sure that ther is no damage to the pallets when the get to their destination.
- Scheduling and Transportation-->Walmart wants to make sure that things arrive On Time and In Full (OTIF) so there aren't prblems in the distribution center.
