Quality Problems Causing Space Issues? We’ve Got You Covered – Logistics Included
Task
5,000 parts needing rework, but no space in production facilities: The case of a leading smart home manufacturer
Quality issues in production can quickly lead to bottlenecks. This was the challenge faced by one of our clients, a smart home manufacturer.
A quality issue prevented 5,000 components from being shipped as planned. Instead, they needed to be inspected, reworked, and repackaged. However, with production areas at full capacity, the client faced an urgent space issue. They lacked the facilities and the manpower to handle the rework process.
To make matters more complex, the reworked parts needed to reach end customers on time to avoid delays and complaints.
FOCUSON stepped in to manage the entire process – from organizing rework space to coordinating logistics – ensuring the supply chain remained uninterrupted, customer satisfaction stayed intact, and the client could stay focused on their core business.
