Project:  Kellogs – Rollout

Location: 4000+ locations across 8 States

Scope:

• Manage logistics from a centralized depot we selected in each region
• Manage inventory for our locations as we completed installations
  • Inventory of fixtures was sporadic and not all at the beginning
• Affirm installation dates with each store team
• De-merchandise existing fixture
• Demo existing fixture and dispose of
• Install new fixture
• Merchandise completed fixture per provide Plan-O-Gram

Duration: We installed 4000+ locations in a 7 week time period

Objective:  Efficiently manage logistics, installation and store coordination of end user provided fixtures.

Details:  We took the challenge of installing over 4000 new fixtures across 8 states.  Once the fixtures made it to the US we managed from Port to store.  We coordinated centralized warehouse depots to store inventory for our installation teams across the country to pull from while routing the installation schedule to have those teams go out in the AM and circle back close to the depot in the evening to refill trucks with additional fixtures.  The challenge that presented itself was limited inventory to start the project and sporadic fixture deliveries to the US through the project.  Managing which depots inventory went to as the project unfolded was critical to keeping the installers continually moving and stores being completed.  We were able to efficiently and effectively facilitate over 4000 locations spanning 8 states while minimizing downtime for the stores and the installation crews.
