Case Study: Design Ready Controls achieves automated inventory forecasting and reliable stock availability with EazyStock

Design Ready Controls Looks Ahead with Inventory Optimization

Design Ready Controls, a custom control panel manufacturer in Brooklyn Park, MN, was struggling to forecast and manage 10,000 active part numbers for unique, configuration-specific Bills of Materials. To address frequent stockouts, declining shop-floor efficiency, and the impossibility of manual planning, Design Ready Controls chose EazyStock to automate forecasting and calculate reorder points and quantities.

EazyStock’s inventory optimization software, implemented in 2018, delivered complete visibility and automated order-point calculations so the Materials Manager no longer relies on spreadsheets. As a result, components are no longer missing for incoming orders, on-time delivery and shop-floor flow have improved, and Design Ready Controls has more time and confidence to focus on product development and new customer launches.
