Rapid Prototyping Request & Tracking System
The Challenge:
A consumer electronics company’s prototyping lab received 300+ requests monthly via email and phone, with no centralized tracking or resource planning. This caused 40% utilization inefficiency and frustrated design teams with unclear timelines.
The Solution:
Developed Power Apps portal for prototype requests with automated resource scheduling using Power Automate. Power BI on Fabric provided capacity planning analytics and predictive delivery dates based on historical data and current workload.
Result:
Lab utilization increased from 60% to 94%, average prototype delivery time reduced by 30%, and design teams gained predictable timelines with 95% on-time delivery accuracy.
