Clean-up your engineering stores and save money
May 13th 2010 ERIKS UK has launched an engineering stores reorganisation and optimisation service, Storeroom Services. ERIKS has the experience that enables it to project manage a storeroom efficiency drive from initial review through to hardware and software installation and full staff training. The service may able to find significant savings, often reaching tens of thousands of pounds, in your engineering stores.
Organising a site’s engineering stores can deliver significant financial benefits. By identifying redundant and surplus stock it is possible to offload stock, freeing up finances that were otherwise stagnant. A more organised surplus stock holding will also make it easier to find required items, which implicitly reduces costly maintenance downtime.
ERIKS will carry out an initial inspection of the site’s engineering stores and identify all the products in stock, this registers any cases of over or under stocking and helps identify any obsolete items. After stock identification the storeroom is sorted and a stocking system or ‘Process Map’ is created that allows products to be held in an efficient and safe manner, making stock checks easier and providing quick access when needed.
Storeroom Service will asses the current storage rooms and may recommend installation of additional shelving and storage areas. As well as physical holdings, it is important to keep data organised and updated; ERIKS removes duplication and error in records and insures that valuable information, such as supply source and price, is included. ERIKS is able to project manage any potential changes completely, negating the need to secure separate services. More articles from ERIKS UK: |
