The manufacturer of adhesives has been encountering some challenges in managing its mounting backlog of orders. Despite constant efforts to increase production, the company’s current floor space proves to be limiting to any sizable expansion. This logistic constraint ultimately makes it difficult to meet the increasing demand of clients, resulting in a surging order backlog.
Moreover, the company is also grappling with staffing issues. As much as they want to hire more personnel, their capacity to do so is hindered by various factors. One of which is the scarcity of qualified workers in the current job market. This talent gap makes it challenging to augment the company’s workforce levels quickly.
Finally, scheduling processes have been identified as another concern for the company, leading to its order backlog. With the current hurdles they are facing, the company is now considering alternative solutions that can help alleviate their customer’s concerns caused by the backlog of orders.

Rely ensured that the entire project team operated seamlessly, with everyone having a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities. Rely’s technical oversight played a crucial role in maintaining quality and standards, leaving no room for errors or deviation from the plan.
Furthermore, Rely’s flexibility was not only essential during times of high demand but also allowed for swift adjustments when unforeseen fluctuations occurred. This approach to resource management proved to be incredibly efficient in optimizing resource allocation, ultimately resulting in meeting and even exceeding expectations.
