Success Stories

A developer of automotive antenna systems designed a next generation control module in Europe and needed a manufacturing partner for North America. The Tier-1 needed an EMS provider with automotive experience to 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 just-in-time deliveries with returnable containers on a bi-weekly basis. EPIC prepared all necessary quality submissions (PPAP, DFMEA, PFMEA, etc.) and hosted the OEM for “run-at-rate” demonstrations. After the launch and design stabilization efforts were complete, EPIC has maintained a record of 100% on-time-delivery and 0 PPMs.
