The challenge
Noremat was experiencing difficulties due to our OTD inefficiency, which disrupted their production and resulted in additional costs. This affected their sales and reputation because they could not meet customer demand on time.
Our solution
Smoothing of production flows
We worked with Noremat to align our production with their actual needs, thereby avoiding excess inventory and delays.
Lead time reduction
By optimizing our internal processes, we have reduced our lead time from 8 to 6 weeks, enabling faster deliveries and better adherence to deadlines.
Regular deliveries
Regular deliveries four times a week to the production line, enabling Noremat to avoid stock shortages and ensure smoother production.
Cost improvement across the value chain
- At Noremat: Reduction in rework costs, unnecessary inventory, and logistics costs thanks to more regular and better planned deliveries.
- At Hexalean: Optimization of internal flows, reduction in inventory management costs, and improvement in production efficiency.
- At our suppliers: By ensuring better supply planning, we have contributed to more regular deliveries, reducing stockouts and improving logistics efficiency.
