Case Study: Leading Manufacturer reduces inventory value and improves part availability with Xtivity

Fortune 500 Company Significantly Reduces Inventory Value Improves Part Availability

Leading Manufacturer, a Fortune 500 company with more than 30 global locations serving the Food and Beverage industry, was struggling with growing spare parts inventory that was not translating into better equipment availability. The company needed to reduce MRO inventory investment, improve parts availability and maintenance productivity, and do it without adding head count or putting extra strain on site resources. Xtivity’s Pulse inventory optimization software was selected to help address these challenges.

Xtivity implemented its SaaS, hosted inventory optimization solution to analyze transactional data, calculate order points and lead times, and provide better visibility into MRO inventory across sites. The results were significant: Leading Manufacturer reduced inventory investment by 29%, saving $4 million over three years, and improved part availability by lowering stock-out risk by 55% for the most commonly used items. Xtivity also helped the customer improve KPI reporting and visibility for site and corporate leadership.
