To Scope, design, source, train and implement

bar coding for the three Supply Services

Locations $($AJT$,$ EROC and Greenway$)$ and three

City Operational Centers $($AJT$,$ EROC and

Greenway$)$In $2023,$ Supply Services $(3)$ three locations

initiated approximately $21,000$ purchase

orders, containing various amounts of

inventory.

The PO receipts, totaling $20,621$ various goods

were brought into Supply Services. Those

goods must be manually counted, authorized,

and manually keyed into JDE before the

paperwork is sent off to Accounts Payables to

pay the invoice$($s$).$

Receiving and issuing out this many products

with paperwork, inevitably leads to human

error, including; receiving errors, counting

errors, issuing errors, and account coding

mistakes.The benefits start with eliminating the time

wasted in correcting manual keying errors during

issuing and receiving goods for inventory.

From the chart provided below, both Bathurst and

EROC Supply Services had to make over $115$

adjustments each over the course of the year,

adding up to lost time as well as cost inefficiencies.Supply Services without barcoding system

If current rates of errors and inventory inaccuracies continue as business volume increase,

additional resources will be required to support increasing customer service demands.

Supply Services labour costs $($Salary & Fringe$)$ are currently $$0\mathrm{.}14$ per dollar of goods issued.

Assuming a natural increase in Purchasing volume of $1\frac{\%}{?}$ year, in addition to $$96M$ of BRT and

WaterWorks projects between $2019-2028,$ Supply services would conservatively require two

more Full Time Employees

However, efficiencies generated by implementing Bar Coding will reduce the labour cost per

dollar of inventory issued from $$0\mathrm{.}14$ to $$0\mathrm{.}12-$ savings of one hour per day, per Full Time

Employee.Without a barcoding system, mechanics are

performing more non$-$value$-$added tasks such as

manual paperwork which could reduce the

Fleet Services

maximized skilled labour time on the job.

Efficiencies would be delayed leading to too many

without a

steps in the process, longer than required

downtime, inaccuracies, and errors within the

process.

Barcoding

Less than optimum accountability for costs as work

orders do not capture real time estimate charges.

System

However, It is anticipated that once full

implementation is adopted that up to $30$ minutes

per day of non$-$value added time could be

eliminated for each technician. This could equate to

$3,700$ hours per year of labour $($$$100,000+)$ saved

through attrition and position rationalization.Your Task
