Construction Company Warehouse Counts
A construction company that is principally dedicated to the sustainable execution of civil works and infrastructure projects as well as providing integral maintenance and management services required the support of RGIS. This area was the origin of the company and represents some 60% of total turnover. The construction company represents the backbone of the group, a symbol of quality and expertise specialised in a wide range of projects including roadways, railways, port and airport facilities, large scale hydraulic projects and infrastructure for water supply, treatment and desalination and unique construction projects.
REQUIREMENT
The construction company needed an accurate inventory count of two warehouses to understand what stock was in each warehouse, so required RGIS to provide the following:
- Two warehouses to be counted in full
- Pre inventory checks to be completed
- Identify any internal processes that could be improved
SOLUTION
The construction company partnered with RGIS to complete the warehouse inventory counts project, and provided the following:
- Visited warehouses to give pre-inventory advice
- Scheduled a team of nine experienced RGIS auditors
- RGIS team completed inventory in two days per warehouse
- Created a bespoke program for the internal codes for verification purposes, as there were no barcodes on the items
RESULTS
The construction company found that by outsourcing the warehouse inventory counts project to RGIS to complete, the following was achieved:
- A total of 45,000 items were accurately counted
- A full understanding of all stock items and locations within both warehouses
- Identified 15% of stock was missing on the customer’s system
- As a result of the reports, the customer was able to change internal procedures that were found to have issues
