From Slow Cycles to Seamless Production: How Factorem Helped Us Slash Lead Times by 45% While Ensuring Quality Every Time

"Factorem stepped in when quality issues and long lead times were slowing our builds. They helped us secure dependable small-batch components with far fewer defects and far better coordination."

Before Factorem: The Challenge

Production Delays and Increased Rework Costs

LiteSentry, a U.S.-based manufacturer of optical inspection systems, struggled with sourcing small batches of precision components due to inconsistent part quality, long lead times, and communication gaps with overseas suppliers. These issues caused production delays and increased rework costs.

Factorem connected LiteSentry to its vetted Southeast Asian manufacturing network through its AI-powered sourcing platform. The team leveraged instant quoting, manufacturability feedback, and Factorem’s quality assurance process to manage all overseas orders with transparency and reliability.

After Factorem: The Advantage

Dependable Small-batch Sourcing, Lower Defect Rates, and Smoother Communication

LiteSentry reduced lead times by 45% and achieved consistent component quality across suppliers. The company now benefits from dependable small-batch sourcing, lower defect rates, and smoother communication throughout production and delivery.
