Special-Width Cable Lugs: 4-Month Lead Time Reduced to 2 Weeks
A special-tooling bottleneck at the regular supplier meant a 4-month wait. We delivered in 2 weeks at the same price.
The challenge
Series production required cable lugs with a non-standard width. The existing supplier manufactures these using a dedicated special tool and quoted a lead time of around 4 months — a massive supply bottleneck that threatened to stop the production run.
Our solution
We activated our contacts among manufacturers and sub-suppliers and found a source capable of delivering exactly the same cable lugs at short notice. The specification was verified upfront to ensure dimensional and material equivalence.
The result
The cable lugs were delivered within approximately two weeks at a price in line with the previous purchase price. Series production continued without interruption.
A four-month lead time would have stopped our line. eolSupply delivered in two weeks — at the same price.
