RELY CASE STUDY SERIES · NO. 20

Tripling sales meant losing your best assemblers to subassembly, not production.

Every subassembly built offline was an experienced assembler pulled off your main line, at the exact moment demand was accelerating.

RELY takes full ownership of subassembly production and component procurement (turnkey builds, inventory visibility, and brand-level quality) so your line keeps its people and its space.

Subassembly was quietly becoming a second production line.

A fast-growing water heater manufacturer was tripling sales without the facility space or internal bandwidth to scale, and subassembly work was consuming both.

THE CONSTRAINT

BEFORE A DEDICATED SUBASSEMBLY PARTNER
  1. 01

    SALES TRIPLED

    Growth accelerated faster than facility space or internal bandwidth could follow.

  2. 02

    ASSEMBLERS GOT PULLED

    Subassembly builds repeatedly pulled the most experienced people off the main line.

  3. 03

    STORAGE DISAPPEARED

    Subassembly workstations and staging crowded out higher-value production space.

  4. 04

    SOURCING STALLED

    The sourcing team spent unsustainable time procuring and expediting components instead of new business.
