Specialised Tyre and Wheel
Specialised Tyre and Wheel (STW) manufactures specialised tyre and wheel assemblies. Long lead times and manual links between orders, materials and invoicing limited how quickly work could leave the shop. STW connected MYOB Exo, bills of materials, capacity planning, operator tablets and the customer portal with scheduling. It reports its minimum lead time falling from eight weeks to two, with some jobs completed in five to seven working days.

The connected processes, systems and shop-floor implementation behind this customer story.
Jobs entered in MYOB Exo flow into Smart Shop Floor. During picking, operators identify the rims and discs actually used. Those items, consumables and labour build the bill of materials in MYOB Exo, ready for an administrator to check and send the invoice. Production and finance work from the same job information.
Operators have job information on tablets at their bays, supported by Smart Shop Floor Andon lights installed in the workshop. The customer describes staff knowing what to do and having what they need in their work area. The deployment combines software, visual hardware and changed working practices.
Live dashboards show available capacity against the roster and recorded work. Customers follow their jobs through production and delivery. STW describes moving from lead times of around eight weeks to two weeks, with standard work becoming five to seven working days. This is a customer-reported result of the connected workflow, not a promise for every job.
