Case Studies
Real examples of transformation projects our team has delivered — from engineering turnarounds to greenfield OEM builds.
Real-world examples of how individuals now at Bright Lambs helped organisations transform their operations, processes, and systems. Each case study shows the challenges we found, and the practical solutions we delivered.
Case Study A: Engineering Firm Turnaround
An Engineering firm with a really solid product and high revenue, but has low profit due to inefficiencies in production and the supply chain.
“There's no problem in Engineering, it's all the other departments”
“We're constantly short of parts, and we have to go looking for them or order them at the last minute. That causes massive delays to the build.”
What we found:
- ❌Non-conformance reporting system
- ❌Engineering change management by email if at all
- ❌Disconnected systems PLM⇎ERP⇎MES
- ❌Blame culture
- ❌Poor ERP implementation
What we did:
- 🟢Implemented NCR system
- 🟢Implemented Engineering Change Management system
- 🟢Implemented an Engineering project management system
- 🟢Improved BOM governance and quality
- 🟢Improved ERP usage and training
- 🟢Provided dashboards to support KPIs
Case Study B: Automotive OEM Start-up
An automotive OEM start-up with no established processes, ERP or PLM systems. A greenfield site where everything needs to be built from scratch.
“We've lived the reality of building an OEM without processes or systems — high costs, firefighting, and wasted effort. That's why we now help our clients cut through the noise, put the right structures in place, and deliver results quickly, without the chaos.”
What we found:
- ❌Start with nothing
- ❌300 people with 300 different ideas of how to do things
- ❌Hugely ambitious targets
- ❌Teams spread across 11 countries
What we did:
- 🟢Implemented PLM and ERPs system and processes for smooth manufacturing, supply chain and financial accounting
- 🟢Implemented Engineering Change Management system
- 🟢Worked with a contract manufacturer to ensure BOM governance and quality
- 🟢Built coherent team all pulling in the same direction with a culture of problem solving, not blame
- 🟢Mapped, documented, and taught people the process and system
