Case Study: Jabil accelerates ventilator part production and supply chain response with Molex

Jabil produces 20,000 ventilator parts in 6 days with Molex

Jabil, a manufacturing solutions provider, faced significant challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including massive supply chain interruptions and a dramatic volume increase for ventilator parts from one of its customers. To address this urgent need for a legacy product, Jabil relied on its vendor, Molex, a connectivity products and solutions provider.

Molex implemented a rapid response by securing alternative material sources and using its engineering expertise to identify new components. The solution involved scaling up production at an unprecedented pace. As a result, Molex produced 20,000 ventilator parts in just six days, a massive increase from a historical average of 2,000 parts per year, and delivered an additional 16,000 parts the following week, enabling Jabil to meet its customer's critical need.
