Case Study: Manufacturing Inventory Dashboard

Shop-floor Access system cut stockouts 35% and gave planners live WIP visibility

The challenge

A mid-size manufacturer tracked parts in Excel and a legacy FoxPro export. Buyers lacked lead-time visibility; production frequently halted for missing components.

Our solution

We built an Access inventory hub with BOM explosion, min/max reorder rules, barcode receiving, and a management dashboard for on-hand, allocated, and on-order quantities.

Results

  • Inventory accuracy improved from 82% to 97%

  • Stockout events down 35% in two quarters

  • Buyers saved 10+ hours/week on manual spreadsheets
