Case Study: Mec-Track achieves zero stockouts and faster flow with KanbanBOX

Mec-Track cuts lead time from 20 to 7 days with KanbanBOX

Mec-Track, an Italian producer of components for tractors and agricultural machinery, faced challenges with unaligned production processes, missed deadlines, and daily rescheduling. To address this, they partnered with lean consultants Kaizen Institute and the vendor KanbanBOX to implement an electronic kanban system as the final step in their lean transformation.

The solution from KanbanBOX involved implementing its electronic KanbanBOX system to manage material flows, extending it to external suppliers and customers. Key features like Multiprocess and the Sequencer were used to manage complex internal production and digitalize sequencing. This implementation resulted in a lead time reduction from 20 to 7 days, a 98% increase in deadline fulfillment, an 8% boost in production line output, and a 50% reduction in stock.
