Why this is relevant — Mining and heavy-duty harnesses share the engineering change management environmental discipline this automotive case required.
A European heavy-duty truck program required quoting for a long-lifecycle wire harness with grommets.
- Challenge
- The initial RFQ contained drawing quality issues, forcing the customer to cancel the first quote and re-issue the RFQ with updated specifications, which compressed the quoting timeline and required rapid engineering re-evaluation.
- Solution
- Quickly adapted to the re-issued RFQ, re-evaluating the bill of materials and manufacturing process based on the corrected technical data package to ensure accurate costing for the long-term program.
- Result
- Successfully re-quoted the project with accurate technical data, aligning with the customer's extended production timeline.
- SOP 2029
- EOP 2035
- 6-year production lifecycle
- 1 re-issued RFQ due to drawing errors
