Need:

A major industrial equipment manufacturer needed to complete a wall-to-wall inventory to verify counts. For financial reporting, an outside vendor was required to perform the audit.

• The client needed to complete the inventory without shutting down regular operations
• Staff and equipment were not available without disrupting production

Solution:

Supervisors from RGIS met with the manufacturer on-site to develop a process and walk through the area.

RGIS created an inventory program that utilized the client's internal inventory process.

The scheduling team was able to accommodate the client by executing the event on a holiday weekend. Staffs from local district offices were deployed while the manufacturer was scheduled to close.

Results:

The client was able to meet their financial reporting deadlines. Complete inventory verification came in under budget and on schedule.

• Supervisors completed a walk-through before creating the program
• Auditors worked within the current inventory management framework
• The client did not lose any potential profit by shutting down operations
