Lakeside Manufacturing

Results

• Within 6 weeks, through a cross-functional team at HUI, the first product family was quoted, engineered, manufactured, and shipped
• Within 12 weeks, over half the SKUs and half the product families were back in the market
• Within 6 months, the entire product line was back in the market

Situation

Our customer acquired an acute and long term cart product line that did not ideally fit their manufacturing capabilities. The customer partnered with HUI to provide a complete solution including engineering, supply chain, manufacturing (fabrication and paint), assembly, and logistics. Our customer had a limited amount of time to get the product line back into the market without losing potential sales opportunities.

Problems Encountered

• Over 100 SKUs (including products and accessories) and 5 product families to get back into the market within a 3 month period
• Incomplete engineering drawings
• Incorrect Bills of Material
• Product line inventory quantity inaccuracy

Customer Testimonial

HUI was unique among its competitors in what they accomplished for us is a short time frame. We essentially asked them to radically adapt their business in many ways to respond to our time critical needs. They had the teams in place to work side by side with us to get this large project completed fast since we were under the gun to get this done to serve our customers. Since the original date they have been willing to invest further in their business to advance the product line with us.

While this project has not been smooth or easy at times they hung in there with us, worked through the tough issues with us, and earned the business. Thanks HUI! - Joe Carlson, Lakeside Manufacturing President
