Streamlining operations and increasing efficiency through lean manufacturing principles
Bharat Industries, one of India's leading automotive component manufacturers with facilities in Chennai, Pune, and Gurgaon, faced critical challenges in supply chain visibility and production efficiency. Their traditional manufacturing processes were causing significant delays and cost overruns.
We implemented a comprehensive Industry 4.0 solution that integrated IoT sensors, predictive analytics, and automated inventory management across their entire production ecosystem. The system provided real-time visibility into every aspect of their manufacturing operations.
Our solution included custom-built dashboards for production managers, automated quality control systems, and intelligent demand forecasting algorithms specifically calibrated for the Indian automotive market dynamics.
Bharat Industries lacked real-time visibility across their multi-tier supplier network spanning 200+ vendors across India, leading to frequent production delays and quality issues.
Excess inventory worth ₹45 lakhs was tied up in slow-moving stock while critical components faced frequent stockouts, disrupting production schedules.
Manual demand planning processes resulted in 35% forecast accuracy, causing overproduction of some components and shortages of others during peak automotive seasons.
Legacy manufacturing systems operated in isolation, preventing optimization of production schedules and causing 20% capacity underutilization across facilities.
Implemented a comprehensive analytics platform that provides real-time visibility into the entire supply chain, from raw materials to finished goods delivery.
Deployed machine learning algorithms that analyze historical data, market trends, and external factors to provide accurate demand predictions.
Connected production systems with IoT sensors and automated workflows to optimize manufacturing processes and reduce waste.
Launched a digital platform that enables seamless collaboration with suppliers, improving communication and reducing lead times.
45% reduction in inventory levels while maintaining 99.2% service levels, freeing up $6.75M in working capital.
30% faster production cycles through optimized scheduling and reduced changeover times from 4 hours to 1.5 hours.
25% reduction in total supply chain costs, saving $8.5M annually through improved efficiency and waste reduction.
99.2% on-time delivery rate, up from 78%, significantly improving customer satisfaction and retention.
92% demand forecast accuracy, reducing stockouts by 85% and overstock situations by 60%.
40% improvement in supplier performance scores and 50% reduction in supplier-related production delays.
"The smart manufacturing solution has completely transformed our operations. We now have complete visibility across all our facilities and can make data-driven decisions in real-time. The cost savings and efficiency improvements have exceeded our expectations significantly."
