[bu:st] USA specializes in providing streamlined project management solutions to businesses navigating complex, large-scale operations. For a global OEM undertaking an industrialization project for a new product line, transparency and efficiency were critical. With production deadlines looming and multiple stakeholders involved, the need for a structured approach became evident.
At the start of the industrialization process, the OEM project leaders struggled with a lack of clarity and control over several critical areas, including:
This lack of insight introduced significant inefficiencies and risks, hindering the organization’s ability to anticipate delays or address critical issues proactively. Without a unified framework for managing this information, project timelines and coordination across teams and suppliers were at stake.
[bu:st] USA deployed a tailored, multi-step approach to address the OEM’s challenges:
[bu:st] USA created an initial report using the available data and defined a standardized format. This ensured all stakeholders had access to consistent and up-to-date information on part and tooling statuses.
A communication framework was established to coordinate efforts between all affected parties, including suppliers, procurement teams, and project leads. This improved information flow and enabled better alignment.
A thorough gap analysis was conducted to compare the Bill of Materials (BOM) with purchasing scopes. This acted as a plausibility check to identify missing components or potential discrepancies.
Weekly reporting was introduced to track top issues and risks. Active monitoring of over 100 documented risks ensured that tasks were clearly assigned and corrective actions were taken promptly.
These measures provided the OEM’s leaders with the tools needed to gain visibility and establish control over the complex processes involved in their supply chain and tooling management.
The implementation of [bu:st] USA’s solution delivered notable results:
The OEM gained a clear, transparent status of ~6,000 tools sourced from more than 200 suppliers. This comprehensive visibility allowed for greater coordination and precision in decision-making.
A total of 100+ risks were documented and actively tracked. The framework ensured that tasks were assigned with clear accountability and follow-up actions, mitigating delays and unforeseen issues.
Leadership received actionable insights through consistent reporting, enabling proactive decisions to keep the project on track.
With a standardized reporting process and established communication channels, the OEM experienced smoother workflows, reducing bottlenecks and inefficiencies.
By addressing the OEM’s challenges with a structured, comprehensive solution, [bu:st] USA successfully empowered the client to achieve transparency and efficiency during its industrialization process. The implemented solutions paved the way for streamlined communication, efficient risk management, and data-driven decision-making.
