The Challenge
A supercar manufacturer’s supply chain was not optimised for just-in-time delivery across more than 180,000 production lines.
The operation was largely paper-based which yielded low inventory accuracy. The issue was exacerbated by the variable nature of supercar production compared to volume manufacturing, because every high-performance supercar is customised to individual buyers.
The Solution
Unipart introduced a digital warehouse management system to ensure the right parts are available at exactly the right time.
The system enables warehouse operators to scan parts at every stage, with the data providing the insight to make informed decisions at every stage of production.
Designed in-house by Unipart, the warehouse management system can be implemented in a matter of weeks and is fully customisable to run industrial operations on any site of operation.
The Impact
Inventory accuracy jumped to 99.8% and the production facility benefited from just-in-time deliveries, enabling a smoother and more efficient production.
The system thrived in the challenging environment of supercar production, enabling the customer to deliver for each individual car buyer.
Unipart’s warehouse management system quickly provided tangible traceability data for the customer, imperative for supercar manufacturers dealing with high-value parts.
