This client possessed an existing inventory of Herman Miller systems furniture which they wanted to re-use with the addition of new product when they moved to their new facility.  Naturally they wanted to utilize as much of their old furniture as possible, and the Project Manager created a design that made the best use of their new space while keeping the purchase of new product to the bare minimum.

   
The process began with a careful inventory taken of the existing product; this information was then entered into our software, creating both a graphical and numerical database record of the project's 'starting point'.



   
The Project Manager then designed a furniture layout after taking into account the client's requirements, value engineering, and the office environment itself (in this case, the client's new space).  The design was also created in our software, creating a graphical and numerical database record of the project's 'ending point'.

The software was then used to quickly generate four lists of parts and pieces that illustrated, after comparing the existing and the proposed, where all of the existing inventory was being applied and what was still required for purchase.  This use of the software tool saved much time and greatly reduced the risk of mistakes made due to human error.

One of the biggest advantages to this process is that, at the completion of the project, accurate inventory records now exist which can be easily applied to subsequent projects.
