Sandia’s Supply Chain Management Center had outstanding results in the FY07 wall-to-wall physical inventory. This inventory adhered to the industry standard find rate (98 percent), increased the accountable equipment threshold value ($7,500), and removed items from inventoried status if the net book value (cost minus depreciation) equaled $0 (18,197 fewer items). The cost savings and cost avoidance totaled almost $1 million. Similar cost avoidances are expected annually. (10200) IES
The Supply Chain and Materials Management Council Project is a pioneering, inclusive communication and improvement process for ensuring that supply chain services contribute to mission success. It starts with supply chain data collection and analysis for a specific Sandia customer group. The information is discussed in a summit between supply chain experts (Procurement & Logistics) and customers. The successful inaugural event resulted in 13 center/division customer summits and many high-impact business process improvements resulting in cost savings. IES
