CASE STUDY: HIGH-COSMETIC VEHICLE GAUGE HOUSINGS

PROBLEM: Medallion needed to reduce material costs and the product development cycle, in addition to consolidating its supply chain. Concerns about communication, quality and trust made it seem like sourcing in China wouldn't be feasible.

SOLUTION: FES established a cross-function team for Medallion consisting of project management, engineering, supply chain management and quality. Our team works closely with Medallion from the product development cycle, all the way through final delivery.

RESULTS: By leveraging FES' in-house tooling shop and supply chain capabilities, Medallion has been able to reduce its total tooling cost by 60%, its part costs by 15% and development lead time by 30%.
