Cardinal Health: Zero In On Inventory Sprawl
Overview Cardinal Health Medical Products and Services group (Waukegan, IL), a $7 billion division of $44 billion Cardinal Health, Inc. (Dublin, OH), faced multiple challenges a few years prior to Y2K. Disparate legacy systems kept Cardinal Health from being able to integrate applications and optimize its warehouse and labor efficiency. Without a major technology overhaul, the company would continue to increase its data silos and prematurely add DCs and new employees to accommodate a growing customer base. By rolling out ERP (enterprise resource planning), WMS (warehouse management system), and mobile computing solutions, Cardinal Health was able to improve its warehouse efficiency and bring its data silos together in a single repository. The integrated solution improved DC efficiency by 10% and saved the company more than $2.5 million per year by eliminating the need to take an annual physical inventory. Electronic order functionality saved the company an additional $2.4 million.
