Client success story
Semiconductor Industry Client
Balancing inventory levels with Lean methods
Lack of understanding of the clients process led to both exhausted and excess inventory. After an extensive analysis, a unique program with custom packaging, delivery by inventory technician, and redistribution of unused parts was set up.
Our Solution
There is an independently operated business within the client organization that develops, manufactures and services deep-ultraviolet (DUV) light sources. Significant overstock, stock outs, continuous expediting, and unnecessary steps in production were all caused by lack of understanding of the clients process. SBS analysis provided clean room certified, custom packaging and right-sized production quantities directly to the production line. On-hand overstock was reduced and dead stock eliminated through metrics-driven inventory management. Unused parts were identified, mapped, and redistributed to plant locations where inventory could be consumed.
