Rising to the occasion by tackling Alpha’s high-stakes production challenges Alpha Technologies is an established leader in power solutions for the telecom, cable-broadband, traffic, security, industrial, and renewable energy industries.
Challenge Alpha‘s high-paced production needs place high demands on Wesgar to ensure success down the chain. From order trigger, it requires a lead time of a maximum of three days and additionally, because of space limitations at destination, it requires up to three deliveries per day, based on order progress, to meet the obligations it has made to its customers. All this plus the continuous need for constant and competitive pricing with various quantity breaks and superior quality.
Wesgar Solution • Accelerated prototype builds to meet tight deadlines • Designed a dedicated fabrication line including a high-volume robotic welding jig • Introduced fabrication of bus bars and sheet metal products to improve production run times • Level-loaded production to accommodate spikes in demand • Introduced a Kanban program that reduced lead time to two to three days from order trigger and provided a three-hour lead time for up to three deliveries per day of up to 20 units per draw, which allowed Alpha to utilize space at its facility for production rather than storage • Offered constant prices with various quantity breaks • Delivered .002” tolerance machined rack mount holes, robot welded to Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB) standards, and seismic-rated parts
CLIENT FEEDBACK “Wesgar’s ability to handle the entire manufacturing
process under one roof and for a wide range of products is a significant benefit that accelerates production timelines.”
