Elogic Systems' production flow was characterized by small series and many conversions. The company has now reduced its inventory turnover time and initiated a simplification and modularization process using Simplimize - a tool for simplification and optimization. Kirkholm's certified Simplimize consultants helped Elogic Systems get started with the process.

THE CHALLENGE: LACK OF MODULES AND SMALL SERIES SIZES
Elogic Systems produces enclosures for the electrical, fiber and communications industries. Prior to the company's Simplimize process, production was generally characterized by small batch sizes and non-modularized product architectures, which resulted in an inappropriate number of conversions in the production flow.
Therefore, the company saw a potential in Simplimize as a lever to get started with the modularization and simplification process.
In this connection, Elogic Systems had a number of specific wishes:
As a result of the Simplimize process, Elogic Systems has increased its series sizes and reduced its stock turnover time by 5 days with the possibility of further reduction due to fewer variants.
In addition, Elogic Systems has achieved a shorter delivery time, because standard parts / plates can now be stocked, as well as faster assembly due to a more uniform product structure.
Finally, Elogic Systems has found it easier to handle documentation, which has freed up more time for product development. They have now become easier for the company to innovate.
- The project has started a process where we will be able to optimize processes and constructions in the long run. This is the start of a slightly larger journey than we expected, but Simplimize has given us the tools to implement it, says Henning Christiansen, CTO, Elogic Systems.
