Improving inventory control through a date-driven, risk-based approach
BSc / MSc in Industrial Engineering & Managementg
How can inventory management across spare parts and project materials be improved? Based in our new warehouse, within Maintenance Engineering & Support, you will analyse current processes, investigate inventory discrepancies and their root causes, and develop evidence-based recommendations to improve inventory accuracy, material traceability, and warehouse performance.
Your tasks:
Analyse the current situation: Map existing warehouse processes and material flows for stock-based spare parts and project-based materials. Establish a baseline for inventory accuracy, traceability, and process performance;
Investigate root causes: Analyse inventory discrepancies, data quality, process weaknesses, and organisational factors to identify the underlying causes. Prioritise improvement opportunities based on their impact on material availability, operational reliability, and business performance;
Develop evidence-based improvements: Translate the findings into recommendations for improving inventory control, standardisation, material traceability, and process reliability. Determine whether a standardised inventory control framework is required and, if so, define its key elements;
Validate and define implementation: Assess the feasibility and expected impact of the proposed improvements. Define relevant KPIs and develop a practical implementation roadmap to embed the recommendations into daily warehouse operations and support continuous improvement.
