Robotics: Expedited High-Mix Low-Volume Builds Across Concurrent Programs
A US robotics company scaling from prototype to small-batch production needed aggressive turnaround times across multiple concurrent wire harness programs.
Background
A US robotics company was scaling from prototype to small-batch production and running several wire harness programs at once, all on heavily compressed timelines.
The Challenge
The customer repeatedly requested faster turnaround and expedited quotes. Timelines were tightly compressed, with frequent checks on production status across concurrent orders.
Our Solution
We implemented proactive status updates and prioritized scheduling for the customer's high-mix, low-volume orders, restructuring production sequencing to meet the aggressive timelines.
The Result
We fulfilled multiple concurrent small-batch orders with expedited lead times, supporting the customer's rapid prototyping and product launch phases. Batch sizes ranged from 1 to 40 pieces.
