Eagle Meets Visteon's International Challenges

    KINNELON, N.J.--July 22, 2002--Visteon Corporation, with more than 160 technical, manufacturing, sales and service facilities in 25 countries, is a lean auto equipment manufacturer focused on being a low-cost, high-quality producer. This focus leaves little room for "the unexpected" when implementing a system solution. That's why Dearborn, Michigan-based Visteon chose Eagle Consulting and Development's on-line, real-time automated data collection solution RF Express(TM) for QAD MFG/PRO. And, recent history proves it was the right decision as Visteon plans future international implementations.
    More than two years ago Visteon had a large chassis system project in Poland where they planned to implement a bar code solution. The Poland facility became the first to implement RF Express. "Most of the people in the plant only spoke Polish, so there was a language barrier to overcome," said Gary Berus, IT project manager, Visteon. "Management speaks English, but they can't be expected to translate. You have to work through a translator who is knowledgeable in that field." Eagle was able to deliver because it has a European implementation group. "They go the whole nine yards. The implementation was on time and on budget." That experience proved that choosing Eagle was the right move that produced the "expected" results.
    In 2002, on the heels of a South African implementation, Visteon will implement RF Express across multiple sites in North America and nine sites in France where Visteon is also running the QAD MFG/PRO solution. "We're going to use RF Express for QAD MFG/PRO to receive our original raw materials, store them, put them in work-in-progress and ship to the end customer. The data collection has to be robust, very easy to use and extraordinarily accurate and that's where RF Express shines," said Berus.
