After identifying inbound goods processing as an overall bottleneck at a client in Northern CA, Solutions Quest consultants designed and developed a process which integrated planning and scheduling functions to automatically assign priorities on incoming materials.

Needing a way to increase personnel productivity, a client turned to Solutions Quest to design and develop a custom "theoretical consumption" transaction based on the company's business rules. Transaction allows a single bar-code scan for lot controlled items to provide lot trace-track while eliminating hard committing of inventory and reduces processing by more than 50 percent.

After identifying an opportunity for increased personnel productivity in Operations in a heavy-machining manufacturing plant, Solutions Quest consultants designed, developed, and implemented a flexible rules-based inbound materials process that automatically sorts out what regular and/or periodic inspections are needed for items received, and determines whether material should be stocked or delivered directly to a production work center.

The improvements in the manufacturing accounting area also helped pave the way in Operations for better delivery performance while reducing production waste.

Finding themselves struggling to reconcile their inventories at the end of every month, a client in Missouri called upon Solution Quest consultants to design and implement an all-encompassing inventory reconciliation methodology, including advanced inventory setup and intercompany processing.
