It takes two days - it used to take 2 years


Just a reminder -- the PRS ( Product Resolution System ) is making changes ( measured in hours and days ) for what used to be measured in MONTHS and some times YEARS.

The example below if the up and coming rotor for the 2010 Caravan - in a couple of hours it was changed from a slow mvt code to a mid-range movement code ( and that will have cascading effects ) --then it was transfered to the person who sets re-order levels ( two days latter - more stock on order )

We sure hope that you are using PRS ... this example came from an OUTSIDE purchase made by Auto Barn - that when we looked into the note -- thought there should be a PRS done. This part is also stocked as a sample XAS-121-AS xxxx rotor in all stores as a 2nd line ... and a chance for more staff to understand how the XAS 121 line works ( since it uses Raybestos not Aimco part number system )

NOTE -- MOST jobbers in Canada do NOT have access to PRS or even know of PRS
