    Wilkins is a manufacturing business that experiences seasonal demand for its PVB product. This causes production capacity constraints in the peak season and excess capacity otherwise. There is also irregular demand for fire valves. The business aims to reduce inventory levels by 30% over 2 weeks. Key challenges include seasonal demand fluctuations for PVB, irregular fire valve demand, and excess inventory at plants. Employees from the PVB cell are shared between departments that supply machine castings to the cell and produce PVB to address these challenges.
