It found that miscellaneous receipts comprised 3/4 of all miscellaneous transactions and over 4/5 did not provide a reason. The root cause was identified as material not being pulled in FIFO order, causing surplus material. Changes were made to the SAP screen and standard work to pull in FIFO order. This led to a 77% reduction in miscellaneous receipts and a 98% reduction in unknown receipts, saving an estimated $8,000 per year. Sustaining controls were put in place and lessons learned included using charts to analyze data and understanding different data types.
