Deknudt Mirrors — design to shop floor in 6 months.

Deknudt Mirrors has crafted premium mirrors since 1946. C&DS Buffer Management brought the right focus to both the shop floor and the purchasing department — live in 6 months.

The challenge

Two departments, two sets of priorities

As a premium mirror manufacturer, Deknudt Mirrors needed the shop floor and the purchasing department pulling in the same direction — but without a shared signal for what mattered most right now, each side optimized locally, and neither always got what it actually needed.

The approach

Buffer Management, on both sides

C&DS Buffer Management gave the shop floor and the purchasing department the same red-amber-green priority signal — replacing separate local schedules with one shared view of what actually needed attention, and when.

The result

Live in 6 months

The implementation went from design to a live shop floor in 6 months — with production and purchasing working from the same priorities from day one.
