  2. Team Story • Originally our goal was to meet a need for a surplus for office supplies. • When there wasn’t enough demand for an office supplies surplus we started to focus on helping the current office equipment surplus. • Visited and interviewed WSU and U of I surplus to try and parallels and comparisons.

  3. Short Term Recommendations

  4. Warehouse Recommendation • Initial step in Surplus project • More for storage, less for selling • This is where the opportunity lies • Take full inventory • Sell, salvage, recycle, scrap everything • Start: May 2010

  5. Feasibility COSTS • Compensation for temporary summer employees BENEFITS • Eliminates Need for fence • Quality inventory • Increase in volume of sales

  6. Database Implementation • Benefits: • Mgmt/customers to know what’s on sale • Sell more inventory (25% or $25,000 annually) • Decrease holding costs • Less clutter • Know demand patterns to better price items • Keeps track of items being disposed of

  7. Successful Cases • WSU • Arizona university

  8. Why Not Implement? • Technical person is doing manual work

  9. Pilot Marketing ProgramGoals • To increase student awareness about Campus Surplus • Marketing • To decrease the amount of existing inventory • Campus Surplus Annual Sale

  10. Pilot Marketing ProgramCampus Surplus Annual Sale • Location must be in viewable condition • Store open the entire first week of classes • SALE: Prices marked down • Delivery to customers at a small charge

  11. Long Term Recommendations

  12. Issues • Overworked • Lack of Policy Enforcement • Unbalanced Management • Top heavy

  13. Solution • Restructure As Retirement Occurs • Promoting Within • Hiring at the Bottom • Change to a more Vertical Organizational Structure

  14. Elevator Pitch • Surplus is not profitable.  • The awareness of their department is Low and they are under staffed. • Their Inventory system is inefficient and needs work. • Surplus can correct their problems in two steps performed in the short term and then the long term. • Short term changes are removing excess inventory and implementing the new data base system.   • Long Term changes are reorganizing the organization and adding two employees as retirement occurs. • Once these changes have been made and the program has been advertised with our Pilot program. • We Believe Surplus will be a cash cow like WSU.
