Arjo Inventory Management Automation Case Study

This case study details the implementation of an automated inventory management system by Arjo, a medical devices company, to enhance efficiency in stock transfers between multiple warehouses in Canada. Arjo faced challenges with manual management of stock transfers, which was time-consuming and error-prone, involving numerous personnel and hours of work. The company adopted the Supply Chain Review program from SYSPRO, which automates the stock replenishment process by suggesting and creating supply chain transfers based on inventory levels. The outcome of this implementation is significant, with Arjo reporting a reduction of over 95% in work hours needed for inventory management. The new system allows for a single operator to manage the process efficiently, leading to substantial working capital savings projected between $100,000 to $250,000 within a few months. This transformation has improved productivity and streamlined operations, enabling Arjo to better meet customer demands.
