A European developer of automotive antenna systems designed a next generation control module and needed an EMS partner for North America who could provide all manufacturing, direct fulfillment and related documentation for OEM validation. EPIC worked as an extension of the Tier-1 in North America to receive EDI releases from the OEM and provide JIT bi-weekly deliveries with returnable containers. EPIC prepared all necessary quality submissions (PPAP, DFMEA, PFMEA, etc.) and hosted the OEM for “run-at-rate” demonstrations. Once launch and design stabilization efforts were complete, EPIC maintained a record of 100% on-time-delivery and 0 PPMs.
