Case Study: Electrical Components International (ECI) achieves a 30% reduction in critical shortages and doubles inventory action completion with LeanDNA

How Tony Gonzalez is Standardizing Processes, Optimizing Inventory, and Taking Names

Electrical Components International (ECI), a global leader in wire harnesses and assemblies, faced rapid growth through acquisitions and organic expansion and needed to standardize processes, optimize inventory, and avoid critical shortages that could halt production and harm on-time delivery. Partnering with LeanDNA and using its Inventory Attack Team and Shortage Attack Team approaches on the LeanDNA platform, Tony Gonzalez (Global Lean Supply Chain Manager) worked to align frontline teams and executives around a data-driven process.

LeanDNA delivered a control-tower view, advanced analytics, and automated prioritization so buyers could focus on the most impactful actions; this drove a 100% increase in fixed inventory action completion in the first two weeks and a 30% reduction in critical shortages across sites in the first six months. The LeanDNA-enabled initiatives freed working capital, reduced shortage risk, and standardized performance metrics across ECI’s operations.
