Life Raft Storage
Case Study:
Lamplas Supporting Marine Safety Equipment Supplier.
Introduction:
A leading provider of marine safety equipment, needed a reliable manufacturing partner to take over the production of life-raft covers after their existing GRP supplier shifted focus to other markets.
Lamplas was recommended in 2021 for their expertise in GRP manufacturing and their ability to seamlessly manage the transition and production requirements.
Project Overview:
The liferaft covers are a crucial component, requiring precision manufacturing to meet rigorous safety and quality standards. Lamplas was tasked with ensuring a smooth transfer of production, maintaining consistency, and enhancing the long-term supply chain with investments in new tooling.
Key Contributions:
Seamless Transition of Production
Lamplas hosted a site visit to demonstrate their capabilities, including skilled staff, state-of-the-art facilities, and a robust production process.
The client was confident in Lamplas’ abilities and the existing tooling was transferred at an agreed date, ensuring no disruption to the supply chain.
A stock buffer was created during the transition to maintain continuous availability of liferaft covers.
Consistent Quality Assurance
Lamplas upheld the high standards required for liferaft cover production, ensuring products met with the specifications, without compromising on quality or performance.
Investment in New Tooling
To solidify their position as a trusted supplier, Lamplas invested in new tooling. This commitment not only ensured enhanced production capabilities but also strengthened the partnership for future projects.
Outcome:
The collaboration resulted in a seamless production transition with no supply chain disruptions, and continued to receive high-quality liferaft covers that met strict safety and performance standards. Additionally, Lamplas’ investment in new tooling improved manufacturing efficiency and reinforced their role as a reliable long-term supplier. This successful partnership has positioned both companies for future collaboration on marine safety innovations.
