INVENTORY CONTROL

​

Challenge: A food distributor client struggled with imbalanced inventory—excess stock of some items while running out of other critical goods.

 

Solution: BIS introduced a state-of-the-art visual management system. This system generated reorder reminders only when inventory levels or expiration dates exceeded agreed delivery times, ensuring precise shipment timing and aligning with a first-in, first-out (FIFO) approach.

​

Results:

• 30% reduction in perishable goods costs: Improved inventory timing and management cut costs associated with perishable items.

• 10% improvement in cash flow: Enhanced inventory control led to better financial performance and cash flow.

​

Impact: By integrating visual management and FIFO procedures, BIS minimized waste, reduced costs, and optimized inventory control. This success underscores the importance of robust inventory management systems in enhancing operational efficiency.

OVERTIME CONTROL

​

Challenge: A healthcare client faced excessive overtime and high labor costs in their cleaning operation.

​

Results:

• 60% reduction in overtime costs: Significant decrease in overtime expenses.

• Enhanced cleaning quality: Standardized procedures and proper staffing improved overall cleaning quality.

​
