Business Challenges

Lydall (previous parent of Lydech) was looking for a cost-effective project management solution that could unify OEM program management across multiple global facilities into a closed loop process.

Lydall sought to eliminate the following challenges through a digital & centralized solution:

Files@4x

Separate copies

All facilities kept separate APQP, PPAP and Project Management documents as hard copies

TrayArrowUp@4x

Manual uploads

Documents had to be scanned and loaded into a Windows-based file structure

House@4x

Local data

Project Managers kept vital documents on their local hard drives

EyeSlash

Lack of visibility

Lack of visibility in relevant documents leads to delays, errors and miscommunication

ShuffleSimple@4x

Cross-functional disconnects

Eventually this led to a disconnect between Sales and Project Management teams

GlobeSimpleX@4x

Lack of global processes

Lack of a global RFQ process that all facilities could participate in

CalendarX@4x

Missed deadlines

Missed RFQ deadlines and subsequent missed opportunities
