Accelerating Cost-Effective Initiatives
An MDSi Case Study
Challenge
A leading provider of global communications services lacked a solution with the capability to create and execute cost effective and accelerated initiatives designed specifically for the disposal, or reconditioning, of obsolete inventory in the company’s global environment, while ensuring that the telecom leader maintained complete compliance with local, as well as global, disposal laws/regulations.
In addition to solving the business issues, it was equally difficult for the company to find a partner who would contractually agree to meet the requirements – that is until they found MDSi.
Solution
The global leader turned to MDSi for a comprehensive solution that would
- Meet a very aggressive timetable within budget, or below
- Comply with all disposal laws/regulations
- Act as the company’s agent in each country and/or region
- Be able to manage operations in 242 countries
- Manage more than 17,000 unique part numbers
- Adhere to strict 2hr, 4 hr, 8hr and NBD (Next Business Day) Service Level Agreements at 99% or better
- Provide validation documents covering each disposal activity
- Enable asset reconciliation in the financial register
- Decrease costs
- Improve client service levels
Results
- Quantifiable results were booked within 60 days
- $17K parts were reduced – hitting the targeted reduction of 99% $50K in monthly savings for reducing space required to house all of this obsolete equipment
- MDSi’s management of the scrapping project yielded a $50K USD monthly savings on warehouse expenditures
- Came in on time and below budget
- Currently complying with all disposal laws/regulations
- Acting as the company’s agent in 242 countries
