Is Sonova's pull-in real or one-off?
Ar

Arun

Situation

Sonova's last 4 weekly POs are 11–14% above the rolling 13-week mean, with consistent destination spread across 3 DCs. Pattern matches a real channel reload, not a one-off.

Impact

  • 1.
    BSK-A14 — Need +18k units in Q2 vs current plan to hold 95% OTIF
  • 2.
    BSK-A14 — Penang L3 yield issue (see Kenji) caps incremental capacity at +12k
  • 3.
    Service tier — Risk of dropping to 92% OTIF if no action

Recommended actions
