Need:

With 6 weeks left in the fiscal year, an ATV manufacturer needed to verify their inventory. After 10 years of cycle counts, the client wasn't sure where to start with a wall-to-wall audit.

Inventory events needed to occur simultaneously in all 4 locations

Solution:

Using auditors from 8 nearby district offices, RGIS coordinated 4 concurrent inventory events. Teams used handheld scanners to quickly and accurately capture quantity counts.

RGIS teams located misplaced parts and verified the location and on-hand counts.

By remaining in contact with the client, staffs from RGIS and the client were able to work together to update their inventory management system.

Results:

The client was able to accurately update their inventory management system. Project managers quickly handled any issues that arose, allowing the client to close out their fiscal year on schedule.

• Teams counted 43 parts per second during inventory event

• Event included counting 15 million parts in 4 days

• Wall-to-wall inventories completed without shutting down operations
