Case Study: Copperweld reduces stock-outs and inventory with Ultra Consultants

Copperweld lowers raw materials inventory by 40% with Ultra Consultants

Copperweld, a manufacturer of structural steel tubing, faced significant challenges due to an MRP system that could not visualize stock outs or inventory fluctuations, leading to inaccurate raw material levels and shortages. The company engaged Ultra Consultants for business process improvement and enterprise evaluation and selection services to address these issues.

Ultra Consultants provided business improvement consulting and enterprise evaluation services, which included implementing a structured process to hold software vendors accountable during selection. This solution helped Copperweld achieve significant results, including a reduction in stock-outs, a nearly 2% cut in scrap, and a 40% lowering of raw materials inventory.
