Cleveland, Ohio On-time delivery is about more than just maintaining good relationships between suppliers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Failing to deliver on time can be disastrously expensive and put future orders at risk.

Because the OEM line is in peril it means that the supplier will do just about anything to get the parts to the production facility as quickly as possible, says Andrew Robling, principal product manager for manufacturing and supply chain for Epicor Software Corp. At best this means an expedited truck. At worst Ive seen customers hire a helicopter to bring in the parts.
