Executive Summary
PB Leiner is one of the largest gelatin manufacturers in the world that strives for customer excellence, employee safety, and product guarantee. With every organization PB Leiner wants to see areas of cost reduction. Goals are set by the management team to make the demand happen. Research determined that the strongest area to reduce cost is within the maintenance department and how purchasing handles inventory and buying requests. Procedures set in place within the parts room is not as effective as the organization would like to see. High dollar items sit in the parts room that everyone has access too. At times there are tags with missing parts or the inventory tracking system shows high dollar items gone. From this discovery the company is witnessing the challenges that come with these lost or stolen parts. Maintenance personnel have to hold off on repairing equipment because the lost or stolen parts had to be re-ordered. There is reduction in the maintenance budget when parts have to be re-ordered which reduces their ability to focus on the underlying issues within the organization. In order to correct such strong issues the management team has determined it to be the best interest of the company to form a change plan team. This team will gather data, evidence and conduct research to determine the best course of action. The change plan will consider not only the organization but the parts room, the employees that it will affect, and the challenges that this change will encounter. The conclusion will be to add a cage in the parts room that will require two additional employees leaving the stockroom attended at all times. This will ensure that parts are checked out accurately leaving no room for lost or stolen parts.
