Cleaning Up Inventory and Fulfillment
Challenge: This firm was regularly missing its end-of-month and end-of-quarter sales goals due to logistics failures, and on-time order fulfillment was at 75% of requirements. Mach 1’s analysis identified challenges such as poor inventory management, lack of consistent cycle accounts, and no inventory checks and balances in put-away and pick processes, which resulted in missed and crossed shipments.
