A group of companies, with headquarters in Germany, is a privately owned family business that is an international automotive supplier with 80 locations in 28 countries. Customers include almost all major manufacturers of passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The automotive supplier manufactures components in the field of exhaust gas purification, thermal management, and air conditioning for all types of vehicles.
THE CHALLENGE
The automotive supplier required a solution to complete a full inventory within the warehouse and production facility departments, including logging details of each part, so required RGIS to provide the following:
- Experience in counting high volumes of stock within an industrial warehouse environment
- Complete a physical inventory count of all parts across two locations
- Compile data on each part
- Provide an updated inventory database
- Execute the project within a strict time frame of three days
Sectors
Why RGIS?
Customers rely on RGIS to complete full inventories across warehouse and production facility departments because our trained teams deliver accurate, consistent counts and structured reporting that strengthen stock control, support compliance, and improve operational efficiency end-to-end.
Our Solutions
The automotive supplier partnered with RGIS to complete the full warehouse and production facility department inventory project, and provided the following:
RGIS teams visited the locations pre inventory, to assess the project and prepare procedures
Scheduled a team of 45 experienced RGIS auditors for each location per shift
The inventory was divided into four parts; main warehouse, production departments, picking warehouse and high rack warehouse, as different data needed to be captured in each section
The customer's employees assisted with providing pallets for counting using forklifts
Information was captured for each part, including quantity, weight and size
Teams had to weigh smaller parts in some circumstances, in order to get exact total amount
Results
The automotive supplier found by outsourcing the full warehouse and production facility department inventory project to RGIS, the following results were achieved:
Accurately counted approximately 15,000,000 parts across the two locations
RGIS teams produced the same output in terms of data, for each part of the inventory, which was merged into one final detailed report for the customer
Project was completed within three days, as requested by the customer
Conclusion
The customer benefitted in terms of costs and time compared to the former inventories when they used their own employees for the process. The customer was very happy with the RGIS teams and will be working with RGIS again in the future.
