THE CHALLENGE
The customer required RGIS to provide the following:
- To reduce the costs compared to internal inventory
- Counting of raw base materials
- Counting of final products
Why RGIS?
The drinks manufacturer wanted a more cost-effective way of completing manual inventories within the production plants, rather than bringing internal staff from other countries to complete it.
Our Solutions
The drinks manufacturer partnered with RGIS to complete the production plant inventory project, and RGIS provided the following:
Scheduled a team of five experienced RGIS auditors
Inventory took place over five days – eight hours per day
The RGIS supervisor liaised in real time with the customer to keep them up to date
Results
The drinks manufacturer found that by outsourcing the production plant inventory project to RGIS, the following results were achieved:
The accuracy expectations of the inventory from the customer were exceeded
As the customer did not need to source 60 additional staff from overseas cost savings were achieved from travel, and by not having to book hotels for internal staff
Conclusion
By partnering with RGIS, the drinks manufacturer achieved a more efficient and cost-effective approach to completing manual inventories across its production plants. The dedicated RGIS team delivered accurate counts of both raw materials and finished goods within the planned five-day schedule, while maintaining clear, real-time communication with the customer throughout the process. By eliminating the need to deploy 60 internal staff from overseas, the manufacturer significantly reduced travel and accommodation costs without compromising inventory quality. The project not only met but exceeded accuracy expectations, demonstrating a sustainable and financially efficient model for future production plant inventories.
