The automobile has been around for over one hundred years, but the industry's manufacturing trends have never changed faster.  Today's supplier to the automotive industry needs to be able to provide its customers with complete, complex assemblies-on time.  You need to be integrated with your own suppliers and customers, and, to achieve the right margins, you need to understand which jobs are profitable and which are not.  Epicor's manufacturing solutions enable suppliers to automotive industries to reduce inventory, increase productivity, and deliver high-quality products on budget and on time, every time.
