Inventory and Shelf Replenishment in New Warehouse
A company that produces, selects and sells nuts and dried fruit has a production plant with over 700,000 square feet and 32 production lines. The customer purchased a new warehouse and wanted support in remodeling, replenish shelves and counting the inventory that was going into the warehouse.
REQUIREMENT
The health food company partnered with RGIS to remodel, replenish and count the inventory within the new warehouse. The customer required RGIS to complete the following:
- Complete a full wall-to-wall count of all inventory within the new warehouse
- Remodel the warehouse
- Replenish all shelves within the warehouse
- All tasks to be completed within the time frame of five days
SOLUTION
RGIS worked with the health food company to complete a remodel, replenish shelves and count of all inventory within the new warehouse:
- A team of three experienced auditors were scheduled in for five days
- Remodel was completed within the first three days
- The last two days were allocated to replenish shelves and count inventory
RESULTS
The health food company found partnering with RGIS meant the time, effort and cost of completing these activities in-house had been eliminated:
- RGIS was able to complete the task within the specified five days
- The data was in a format requested by the customer
- The health food company saved two weeks of time by outsourcing the activities of RGIS and saved internal costs of over $7,000
- The customer did not need to rent additional equipment to complete the inventories
- The health food company now had a full understanding of what inventory was in the new warehouse
