Dead stock optimization
tabacco industry
  • Core pain
    The warehouse was choked with old, useless stock we didn't need, freezing our cash while we kept buying new raw materials.
  • Final results
    We cut dead warehouse stock by 30%, sold off the extras to other plants, and lowered our monthly purchasing costs by 15–20%.
  • Key stages
    Four weeks total: one week sorting stock, two weeks syncing inventory data across departments, and one week tagging dead items to fix purchasing.
  • Resources used
    We formed a joint team right from the floor: the warehouse crew, production line workers, the maintenance guys, and the purchasing department.
Made on
