FasTrack to the Rescue

Customer

A leading global supplier of medical, industrial and specialty compressed gas.

Application

Gas cylinder high volume production filling.

Challenge

Our customers occasionally need connectors with short lead times when a competing connector supplier is unable to meet the often tight production timeline. 

Project Goals

• Identify the most popular part numbers and the potential order quantities a customer might order
• Build up stock levels accordingly and ensure that we can regularly ship these products with lead times of less than one week
   

Solution

The FasTest team conducted a detailed internal analysis to identify the most in-demand connector part numbers and estimated potential order volumes based on customer trends. Using this data, we implemented the “FasTrack” program to enhance availability by maintaining strategic stock levels of these key parts. The process was optimized for efficiency, including inventory management and logistics, to ensure delivery within one week. The “FasTrack” initiative reflects our commitment to meeting customer needs with reliable, timely service.

Results

The FasTrack program roared to the rescue when the customer placed an urgent order for over 100 connectors, expecting a potential 12-week delay that could have derailed their production timeline. Instead, they were thrilled to discover their entire order was pre-built, packed, and shipped within a mere five days—beating their deadline with room to spare. Operators got back to filling cylinders at full tilt, avoiding costly downtime and keeping their supply chain humming. FasTrack didn’t just meet their needs—it redefined their expectations, cementing FasTest as their go-to partner for speed and dependability.
