Industrial Machinery
Split-Delivery Recovery During a Connector Shortage
A de-identified project scenario drawn from real production records. Client identity is withheld under confidentiality.
The Challenge
An industrial machinery integrator needed high-volume harnesses built around specific Bulgin connectors, but a severe connector shortage worsened by regional lockdowns caused delays and pushed the customer to consider moving harness build in-house.
What We Did
We executed a split-delivery plan to ship completed portions immediately while the remaining connector stock arrived, and kept the customer's planning team updated with transparent material-constraint and lead-time communication.
Outcome
- Split (phased) delivery kept the production line running
- 100-200 piece order ranges fulfilled in phases
- Complete line stoppage prevented
- Manufacturing contract retained despite the in-house alternative
