挑战

RBW offers a wide range of unique lighting designs, all of which are manually built-to-order at their Brooklyn studio. The company faces the challenge of managing a high mix of products with short lead times, aiming for an aggressive 10-day lead time. The complexity of their products, combined with the need to keep track of labor time and inventory, made their operations unwieldy, slow, and prone to errors. Previously, they relied on a manual system where operators had to populate UL compliance labels themselves, which was inefficient and error-prone. RBW needed a solution to simplify their shop floor operations while maximizing the utility of their existing system of record, Netsuite.

解决方案

RBW integrated Tulip with their existing Netsuite ERP system to streamline their operations. This integration provides builders with an intuitive tool for exchanging information from back-end inventory and production planning databases, adding an additional layer of production visibility. Tulip automatically pulls the relevant bill of materials and creates standard operating procedures (SOPs) using data stored in Netsuite whenever operators need to generate a new work order. The solution also includes dynamic work instructions apps that guide builders through each order, accessible by scanning a barcode. This user-friendly interface simplifies training and onboarding for new builders, allowing them to quickly adapt to the system. Additionally, RBW developed a picking application that pulls the bill of materials for each work order, guiding builders through the picking process to ensure accuracy. The system allows for rapid iteration and versioning of applications to keep pace with evolving operations, starting with a pilot at two stations and expanding across the entire value stream.
