Stabilised ERP purchasing and planning by cleaning up master data (products, locations, vendors, BoMs) and introducing standards (naming conventions, mandatory fields). Assigned clear data owners to prevent relapse. Result: more reliable system signals and less downstream rework.
Implemented a lightweight non-conformance + corrective action workflow that teams actually used (native quality app or a controlled Excel log). Enabled simple issue logging, owner assignment, and follow-up. Result: faster containment, clearer accountability, and fewer repeat issues.
Reduced obsolete and slow-moving inventory for a manufacturing/warehousing business using simple, maintainable signals (sales decline and low consumption). Executed sell-downs, range rationalisation, and raw material reductions, freeing ~5% rack space and enabling new products.
The challenge
Annual stocktakes are disruptive and expensive. At the same time, many businesses still experience stockouts caused by incorrect stock levels, not true shortages. When inventory accuracy is unreliable, planning and purchasing become guesswork.
What we did
We implemented ...
We rebuilt ERP replenishment by fixing lead times and reorder rules so ordering became consistent and data-driven. Stockouts dropped, fill rates improved, and teams spent less time expediting and firefighting.
