We saw the opportunity. At the time they fabricated roofs of?ine in a production process that took 8 hours for every roof. After a consultation process, we successfully implemented a solution that took the build time from 8
hours to 1 hour. Because of the new reduction in assembly time the customer no longer required so many roof assembly bays, reducing the number of bays created more ?oor space.

With this new found capacity it wasn't long before they had ful?lled all outstanding contracts and could go out and tender for new business again. Regardless of whether increasing capacity is a priority or not, the solution we can implement will improve any manufacturing business. How did we take the build time from 8 hour to 1 hour...
