When do reorders belong in planning?

Reorders belong in planning before inventory pressure arrives, especially when packaging materials, approvals, export coordination, or factory scheduling can affect timing.

What keeps reorders consistent?

Specifications, lot code references, retain samples, packaging files, quality notes, and clear change control help support consistency.

Reorder Planning

Strong reorder planning protects product continuity. ONTCSA encourages qualified buyers to align forecast, lot code history, packaging files, inspection references, production window expectations, and market feedback before inventory pressure arrives.

Forecast

Forecast planning connects sell-through expectations, reorder trigger points, distributor feedback, launch timing, and production capacity.

Lot code

Lot code references support quality review, production comparison, shipping support, and commercial history across reorder conversations.

Packaging files

Packaging files, print readiness, label responsibility, and case-pack references must stay organized to reduce repeat-order delays.

Production window

Production window planning depends on product type, volume, packaging materials, factory schedule, approvals, and market-dependent documentation.

Retain samples

Retain samples and approved specifications help compare future production against accepted product references.

Reorder communication

Clear reorder communication includes product, market, volume, packaging, due date, route, prior lot code, and requested changes.
