Challenge

A major player in the EPC/Design-Build industry for Utility Scale Battery Energy Storage Systems faced significant financial challenges due to delays in receiving UL 891 switchboards. These delays led to liquidated damages and lost revenue from missed Commercial Operation Date (COD) deadlines. Each project site required uniquely engineered solutions with identical specifications but different designs, resulting in over a hundred unique stock codes and complex submittal processes.

Solution
Lake Shore Electric provided an innovative solution by developing two standardized stock codes that met the requirements of over 50 projects, enabling hundreds of standardized product deliveries. This standardization streamlined inventory management, allowing just-in-time delivery to equipment pads within five business days.

Implementation

Collaborating closely with the customer’s purchasing team, Lake Shore Electric analyzed pain points, reviewed past order history, and assessed future project designs. This partnership led to the development of a comprehensive base design for the UL 891 K Series Switchboard, with an optional unit to accommodate additional battery loads, ensuring flexibility and scalability.

Results

The program’s success enabled Lake Shore Electric to secure inventory purchase production slots with sub-suppliers for critical components like circuit breakers, meters, control components, steel, and copper, ensuring stable pricing and consistent on-time delivery. To mitigate breaker supply chain constraints, two designs were created—one based on ABB breakers and another on Eaton breakers—avoiding potential disruptions. The result was a streamlined solution with two stock codes covering hundreds of installations, achieving 100% on-time delivery and maintaining a robust inventory of completed units.
