Moonbird, a breathing coach that fits in the palm of your hand, helps people breathe better for sleep problems or stress. This innovative product was developed three years ago by Michael and Stefanie Broes of Antwerp.

They recently decided to take their production in-house, relying on Deltaworx to support them with motivated students.

The benefits of insourcing production

  1. More control over the quality of their products
    When Moonbird was still working with an outside manufacturer, they did not have much control over the quality of their products. They discovered that sometimes the manufacturer did not use the right parts or the products were not finished properly. This led to a number of customer complaints and lost revenue.
  2. Being able to scale up production more easily
    In addition, it was more difficult for Moonbird to scale up their production. When demand for their products increased, they could not order from the manufacturer quickly enough. This led to delays in deliveries and dissatisfied customers.
  3. Supporting the local economy by creating jobs in Antwerp
    Finally, Moonbird is now supporting the local economy by creating jobs in Antwerp. By taking production in-house, they created more jobs for our Deltaworx students, among others.

 

The results of insourcing

Since Moonbird insourced their production, they have been able to improve the quality of their products, scale up production more easily and support the local economy. Because of these results, they can now always meet their customers’ demand. They thus minimize the loss of revenue due to errors in production. A smart move!

“The savings we have realized by insourcing production is about 10% of production and assembly costs, which has had a significant impact on our margin per unit” – Gilles Grosemans, production and logistics at Moonbird
