A leading global supplier of original parts for the automotive industry, with over 40 years’ experience required the support of RGIS. It has a presence in 23 countries on four continents, with 40 manufacturing sites. The manufacturer designs, develops and produces filtration systems and flexible suspension components as well as air management and engine cooling systems.
THE CHALLENGE
The customer required RGIS to provide the following:
- Experience within the automotive industry
- Support the internal teams
- Recommendations on processes and procedures
- Inventory to completed across entire plant including deposits and production
Why RGIS?
The filtration system manufacturer needed support with an in-house inventory count, and recommendations for improvements due to previous failed internal counts.
Our Solutions
The filtration system manufacturer partnered with RGIS to complete the in-house inventory support project, and provided the following:
Scheduled a team of 50 experienced RGIS auditors for three days
Training for all RGIS auditors in the manufacturer’s inventory methodology
The customer completed a pre-inventory prior to the start of the count
All stock was counted, supporting the in-house team on day one
Day two and three were spent checking variances between the system and the stock count
Results
The filtration system manufacturer found by outsourcing the in-house inventory support project to RGIS, the following results were achieved:
A total of 56,000 items were counted
Recommendations were made on how to improve existing internal process to enhance accuracy and save time
Stock count was completed on time
Conclusion
By partnering with RGIS, the filtration system manufacturer successfully stabilised and strengthened its inventory process following previous internal count failures. With 56,000 items verified across the entire plant—including deposits and production areas—the structured three-day programme delivered both operational support and independent validation of stock accuracy. Beyond completing the count on time, RGIS provided targeted process and procedural recommendations to enhance control, reduce future variances and improve efficiency. As a result, the manufacturer not only achieved a successful inventory outcome but also established a more robust and sustainable inventory management framework for future counts.
