ERIKS UK & Ireland

The storeroom or ‘factory stores’ is all-too-often a black hole which sucks in stock and inventory, and is seemingly incapable of satisfying the demands of its stakeholders in other parts of the business. This report attempts to answer one simple question: why is there such a contrast between the lean and efficient factory floor and its all-too-often chaotic stores function? Throughout this report you will find verbatim quotes from engineers, maintenance personnel and storeroom managers which attest to the on-going stores management and inventory problems facing UK industry. These, often frustrated, voices demonstrate a desire for factory stores to be more proactive, efficient and aligned with the rest of the organisation.
