Protecting a line through a supply shock
A vehicle systems manufacturer
A material shortage that stopped several of their other suppliers.
The challenge

What we did
The buffer stock in our supply agreement covered the gap, and we qualified an alternative material with the customer’s engineers in parallel.
The outcome
The customer’s line never stopped.
