Case Study: Electrical Component Manufacturer improves inventory accuracy and automates supplier releases with Logan Consulting’s QAD Kanban implementation

Electrical Component Manufacturer cuts release generation from 5 hours to 20 minutes with Logan Consulting

The customer, an electrical component manufacturer, was struggling with inefficient Excel-based shipping releases to suppliers, leading to material shortages and production delays. They also faced significant inventory inaccuracies and a lack of visibility into their supply chain. They engaged Logan Consulting to address these challenges with their QAD MFG/PRO system.

Logan Consulting implemented QAD's Kanban module to automate the shipping release process and redefine the inventory supermarket. This solution eliminated the negative impact of inventory inaccuracies and ensured replenishment was based on actual consumption. The automation reduced the daily effort to generate releases from 5 hours per planner to just 20 minutes.
