Case Study: Eberhard Manufacturing Company achieves a six-week lead-time reduction and 95% on-time delivery with WM Synergy

Eberhard cuts lead times by six weeks with Infor VISUAL

Eberhard Manufacturing Company, a 140‑year‑old leader in industrial and vehicular hardware, was struggling with very long lead times, late shipments, and low inventory turns. To address these challenges they engaged WM Synergy to implement Infor VISUAL ERP with EasyLean and streamline production and inventory management.

WM Synergy’s consulting team loaded the necessary data and supported Eberhard until they were self‑sufficient, using VISUAL ERP with EasyLean to optimize inventory throughput and scheduling. The results: $700,000 saved over a 2–3 month period, lead times reduced from 6–8 weeks to 1–2 weeks, on‑time deliveries improved from 70% to 95%, and inventory turns increased from 2.5 to 4.1.
