How HKIS Reorganized Multi-Item Lead Times and Split Shipments for an Automotive Line Changeover

An HKIS reference case showing how an automotive customer with a fixed line changeover schedule reduced schedule risk by reprioritizing maintenance items and adjusting split-shipment flow.

Additional Notes

In this case, the key issue was not comparing products but rebuilding the schedule around the actual installation sequence.

  • The first task was identifying which items were needed earliest.
  • Grouping every item together would have increased schedule delay because lead times were uneven.
  • The site needed staged response by changeover timing rather than a single full inbound event.

HKIS did not simply list item-by-item lead times. We reorganized the shipment flow according to the actual installation order so the customer could make decisions directly from the changeover schedule.
