Operations strategies
Inventory Operations:
Major Units: By analyzing the companies operation I recognized a bottle
neck in the operation and designed an alternative operating method, this
eliminated duplicated work that the software system was capable of handling
that was being handled manually. This saved the inventory department 4 man
hours a day which translates into a savings of 1,040 man hours a year. This
also allowed the major unit inventory to be recorded in a timely manner,
which benefitted the reconciliation of flooring statements, in addition to
properly stating the true value of inventory on the Financial Statements.
