The Situation
A customer who manufactures and sterilises medical equipment were having a problem with the layout of their stores. Components, equipment and spare parts were stored randomly, and this was proving to be a problem when it came to locating items quickly. The disorderly spaces meant that inventory was becoming increasingly difficult to manage.
The Solution
The team at the HAYLEY DEXIS branch in Normanton received the call and a site visit was promptly arranged so that the problems associated with the current state of the stores could be witnessed first-hand. An audit was carried-out, with all part codes of items currently in stock logged on a spreadsheet for the customers’ benefit. Shortly after the site visit, new racking and bin systems were specified to replace the existing unworkable system. Installation was arranged, with two members of the HAYLEY DEXIS team on-site during the process to ensure that the customer was fully supported in the changeover.
"THE CUSTOMER HAS IMPROVED VISIBILITY OF STOCK LEVELS FOR CRITICAL SPARES."
The Result
The customer is incredibly happy with their new easier-to-manage stores set-up. The solution has enabled staff to source components and inventory items much quicker than previously, making the whole operation leaner and more efficient. The barcode system implemented as part of the installation has meant that the customer has an improved visibility on stock levels for critical spares, saving them time and reducing stock-out situations.
