Case Study: IKI Manufacturing cuts inventory by $4 million with LYNQ MES

IKI Manufacturing Cutting Inventory Costs by $4 Million in 6 months

IKI Manufacturing, a family-owned contract aerosol manufacturer in Wisconsin, faced significant challenges due to Covid-19 supply chain disruptions. Manual scheduling adjustments were time-consuming and inaccurate, causing their inventory to balloon to over $14 million and creating a severe cashflow pressure. To modernize its operations, the company turned to LYNQ and implemented its MES software to regain control of production.

The LYNQ MES solution automated IKI's scheduling, bringing flexibility and transparency to its operations. This enabled the company to balance production against available stock and quickly adapt to changes. As a result, IKI cut its inventory by $4 million within just six months of implementation, significantly improving cashflow and on-time delivery for its customers.
