Production Delays
When TechCo's primary component supplier suddenly ceased communications, they faced potential production line shutdowns affecting 15,000 units. With just 72 hours before production halt, they needed more than just a quick fix – they needed a complete supply chain revolution.
The Crisis Points
Main supplier's unexpected bankruptcy threatened entire production line
72-hour deadline before complete production shutdown
€2.5M in potential revenue at risk
The King Findmore Approach
Activated our emergency supplier network within 2 hours
Conducted rapid but thorough vetting of potential suppliers
Negotiated rates and terms with multiple suppliers simultaneously
The Solution
Instead of finding a single replacement, we established a network of three complementary suppliers, creating a more resilient supply chain. This approach not only solved the immediate crisis but also provided TechCo with improved terms and reduced dependency risks.
