Written by Dimitry Slabyak | Feb 13, 2026 9:38:13 PM

Turning Challenges into Opportunities

  • Reducing Cost Across the Manufacturing Pipeline: Identifying waste, bottlenecks, and preventable downtime that inflated operating costs.
  • Minimizing Unplanned Downtime: Moving away from reactive responses that disrupted production schedules and throughput.
  • Accelerating Failure Learning and Response: Improving how quickly teams could detect issues, understand root causes, and prevent repeat events.
  • Improving Inventory and Stocking Confidence: Enabling better coordination with vendors and maintaining optimal inventory levels across warehouses and stores.

Transformative Results

  • $70 million in annual efficiency created within the supply chain, with benefits that carry forward year over year due to lasting operational improvements.
  • Factory uptime exceeded “five nines” performance, achieving just 13 seconds of total downtime across the entire year.
  • Mean time to learn from failures and address issues drastically improved, reducing repeat disruption risk.
  • Reduced downtime exposure through a combination of proactive machine checks and a planned maintenance cadence.
  • Meaningful gains in line efficiency and materials efficiency, supported by improved data and operational consistency.
  • Stronger stocking outcomes through improved vendor coordination and more reliable inventory optimization across warehouses and stores.
