CASE STUDY

The Customer

A global OEM that specializes in integrated supply and assembly of construction, agricultural, ground maintenance, and industrial vehicle equipment.

Bringing Consistency to the Process

We recognized an opportunity to not only simplify final vehicle assembly, but to do so in a way that improved quality and allowed for a reduction in warranty claims.

Background & Situation

Our customer was facing both inventory and ongoing quality issues related to the handling and assembly of glass parts. We delivered solutions that freed up critical assembly line space and helped eliminate a structural defect.

  • Glass requires specific tooling and technology for handling and assembly
  • We recognized an opportunity to not only simplify final vehicle assembly, but to do so in a way that improved quality and allowed for a reduction in warranty claims.
  • Material costs were driven by higher minimum order quantities and factory scrap.
