Conclusions – MINUTED FROM BUSINESS CONTROLS
MANAGER
1. Quality of timber is in question frequently; a
lot are marked by holes, misshapen or
exposed to wet weather.
2. A large number of products are being
machined wrongly or damaged from them.
3. Transportation damages are adding to
returns.
4. Sizing errors during input generating more
returns.
5. Lack of communication between internal and externalsales staff and between
customers and sales, generating confusion and eventually sales errors.
6. Lack of training on the deletion of items that are causing some orders to be
processed in error.
7. A large number of input errors are due to typing mistakes when rushing through.
8. Some changes to orders are being taken verbally without being recorded or
written down; thus generating orders with incorrect information to the relevant
picking teams.

Corrective Actions – MINUTED FROM BUSINESS CONTROLS MANAGER
1. Ensure Quality of timber is routinely inspected to ensure it is dry, unmarked and
generally in good storage conditions.
2. Sawyers to take more care in not damaging product and products to be inspected
before loading on vehicles and despatched.
3. Take extra care in vehicle loading and securing packs down to minimise movement
during travel.
4. Increase the level of communication with staff and customers on pricing changes,
pricing agreements made by external reps to decrease the numberof input errors.
5. Double check any confusion regarding orders (with customers) or mill items
needed machining (with mill staff) to decrease input error.
6. Lack of training on the deletion of items that are causing some orders to be
processed in error.
7. Clarification is needed on orders in the future; confusion leads to increased errors
in sizes and products being issued. And take general care when inputting toensure
accurate data is sent for processing.
8. Any verbal orders or changes must be written and recorded to ensure changes are
made and orders not forgotten.
