Challenge
DeAcero encountered challenges with procurement of high mix, low volume industrial consumable spare parts for their steel rod production lines in 3 factories across the country. Given these pain-points, their purchasing team had to engage with over 30 suppliers to accommodate different processes and achieve the required SLAs.
Solution
Under Prima's support, DeAcero consolidated all manufacturing processes within a single point of contact, enabling them to significantly reduce their supplier base.
Results
By implementing recurring production planning, Prima standardized manufacturing processes which reduced quality defects by 20% and eliminated lead times by 50%, while significantly reducing day-to-day operational burden for DeAcero’s maintenance and procurement teams. Prima introduced visibility to the end-to-end production value chain while implementing preventive controls and quality inspections. Additionally, approved parts are now available for immediate delivery when required.
