were struggling to deal with increasing client demand, meaning
there were a number of key challenges that they were having to
face;

• Due Date Performance of around 40% OTIF
• Rising Lead Times as orders start to build up
• Large levels of stock holding

Over the course of 1 year, Roscomac noted a number of improvements:

• The amount of Work in Progress dramatically fell.
• The length of time goods are on the shop floor was considerablyless
• Due Date Performance rose from 40% to 95%+
• Product availability for stock items significantly improved

What Did These results look and feel like?

The number of complaints and follow ups on products from clients has reduced. Which means the customer service team are happier and more productive too.
