Competitive advantage


“Epicor helps us remove manufacturing and logistical bottlenecks that inhibit innovative ideas becoming a real physical part of the car propelling our drivers to victory that weekend,” continued Prior. “It is this race to get innovation to the track that helps us gain the competitive advantage, and the same innovation race happens between every Grand Prix.” Rodney Winger, senior director of product marketing, manufacturing & supply chain management at Epicor, added:


“For years, Epicor manufacturing solutions have been successfully meeting the needs and requirements of mid-market manufac - turers. Leveraging innovative technology, we’ve continued to expand features and functionality of our solutions to scale the needs of large, global manufacturers; which in turn helps our progressive mid-market manufacturing customers address many of the same challenges larger organisations are dealing with.”


“To compete at the level we are within the world of Formula One we need to not only optimise the design, but all aspects of the business process,” said Prior. “It’s only in this way that we can gain the competitive edge.”


The rate of design development within Formula One at this highest level requires rapid processing within the factory through the manufacturing planning stage and absorption into the production schedule. At the track it requires clear visibility of the availability of new parts such that the test and race programs can be carefully and calmly planned. The end result being a highly professional performance at the track, supported by a dynamic and ever changing set of requirements. Epicor Manufacturing fits well into this demanding scenario. Prior concluded: “Motor racing is all about gaining an edge while remaining under control and within budget – the Epicor Manufacturing system helps us to do just that.” 
