The customers requirement was for very simple cut and crimped
leads but with 1000+ variations all needed in a constantly changing
mix of colours, styles and lengths on a 7 day turnaround. The main
problem was the logistics, not the manufacture.

We developed a bespoke database for the leads which enabled us to
identify commonality across the products, and significantly reduce
the number of variants needed. The database was also used to
automate the production scheduling for each new order. This has led
to better materials planning, more reliable products and a faster
turnaround enabling us to commit to a specified time slot for each
weekly delivery. |
