THE ISSUE AT HAND
This is what we love about applying our More Than Print process – rather than applying the
standard "iron triangle" industry solution (Do it faster, better, and cheaper), we look for the root
cause of the pain.
We met with the leadership team to review the issues that we had uncovered. We make sure that
we collaborate with our clients and that all involved are on board with what issues to tackle and
solutions to pursue. Of the issues presented, we identified a key stressor was their process around
inventory management and distribution.
BUILDING A SOLUTION
With our focus set on the inventory management and distribution issue, we brought in our own internal
subject matter experts on lean practices and logistics. We put them at the table with stakeholders at the
institute to start mapping a new target condition flow map.
The end solution comprised Imperial cataloging and transitioning all material management from the
institute into our warehouse.
All items would be established in our system with minimum reorder points, which nicely eliminated out of
stock issues. Institute users would have access to our online systems with visibility to quantity on hand
and the ability to send orders anywhere in the world.
Since many of the materials would be reused for other fundraising events, all shipments were sent with
prepaid return labels back to the Imperial warehouse. We would manage inspection of all received items
for damage and would return them to warehouse for future use.
