Your next operating decision

Is the cheaper pack actually the cheaper order?

Compare the same specification and base unit (for example kg, litres or items), on the same tax basis. Delivery is the total charge for each weekly order. Whole packs are rounded up.

This compares one weekly order at your stated quantities. Current surplus: 0 base units; alternative surplus: 6. Check shelf life, quality, minimum orders and service before choosing. This is not a recurring savings forecast.

Next action

Check both supplier quotes, order sizes, quality and delivery terms before switching.

Check against: Like-for-like written quotes, pack sizes, weekly quantities and delivery terms.

Show the calculation
  • Packs needed = required base units ÷ units per pack, rounded up.
  • Delivered order cost = whole packs × pack price + delivery.
  • Difference = current order cost − alternative order cost. Surplus stock is not treated as consumed cost.

A scenario is a decision aid. No saving or outcome has been verified.

Your 7-day proof run.

Use this plan for supplier comparison. Choose one live issue and check what changes over the first week.

  1. Day 1

    Confirm the starting point

    Compare the same specification and base unit (for example kg, litres or items), on the same tax basis. Delivery is the total charge for each weekly order. Whole packs are rounded up. Keep a dated baseline with the source records behind your figures.

  2. Day 2

    Give one change an owner

    Check both supplier quotes, order sizes, quality and delivery terms before switching. Agree one action, an accountable owner and a deadline. Check the effect on service before acting.

  3. Days 3–6

    Watch the evidence

    Check against: Like-for-like written quotes, pack sizes, weekly quantities and delivery terms. Record exceptions and other changes that could explain the result.

  4. Day 7

    Review before closing

    Revisit supplier comparison using comparable periods and the same definitions. Record what changed and what the evidence supports. If the result is not ready, keep the action open and set the next review date.
