SustainEdge Consulting helped RR Engineering, a precision manufacturing company, implement a workflow solution to manage their inventories based on production needs. The case study describes the problem faced by RR Engineering and how SustainEdge Consulting was able to provide an effective solution.

Background:

RR Engineering is a leading manufacturer of precision components used in the aerospace and defense industry. They had been experiencing difficulties managing their inventories due to the complex nature of their production process.

The solution also included the implementation of a customized dashboard that allowed production managers to view inventory levels and forecast demand on a real-time basis.

Results:

The implementation of the workflow solution resulted in significant improvements in inventory management at RR Engineering. The company was able to better manage their inventory carrying costs and improve on-time delivery metric. The solution also allowed for better planning of production schedules which drives efficiency.
