Case Studies
-
A U.S. division of a global manufacturing company carried over 6,000 different parts in its inventory. Each of these parts was a component of an assembly that the company sold to the automotive and heavy equipment markets.
Numerical Insights gathered several years of historical data on the usage and costs of these parts and analyzed patterns of demand. The analysis showed that 30% of the parts were only used once or twice per year. Based on this analysis, decisions were made as to which of these 30% of parts would still be carried and which ones could be ordered on demand from suppliers. Decisions were based on factors such as the value of the parts (contribution to inventory values on financial statements) and supplier lead times.

-
A global transportation company with millions of dollars in contract spend sought additional costs savings as a corporate initiative. Numerical Insights gathered data for off-contact spend and information on existing contracts. An analysis identified two categories of purchases that were being purchased off-contract. Working with the client’s procurement team, policies were communicated to each functional area to redirect that spend to existing contracts.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Most clients see measurable improvements within 4–8 weeks. Typical early wins include a 15–30% reduction in excess inventory and fewer stockouts. Full benefits (improved cash flow, higher profitability, and smoother operations) usually materialize within 3–6 months, especially when combined with our Ongoing Managed Service. Customers with extreme over-stocks will take longer to wind down excess inventory. Yes, we’ve had a few of those!

SKU rationalization is the process of identifying and removing (or fixing) low-profit or slow-moving products.

We measure key metrics before and after the engagement: inventory turns, stockout rate, excess/obsolete inventory value, gross margin by SKU, and cash freed up. Most clients see a 3x–10x return on their investment within the first year.
