Hybrid Manufacturing

Hybrid Manufacturing Solutions (HMS) is a global supply chain strategy designed to leverage the global reach of EPM Global Services. HMS allows you to effectively reap the benefits of a global supply chain strategy while maintaining local program North American management for an entire product lifecycle – from concept through manufacturing, fulfillment and after sales support and services globally.

Key to the HMS strategy and its success with customers is the local program management presence that the Markham facility provides. This provides the advantage of local representation and global reach while mitigating risk traditionally associated with a global supply chain strategy.

EPM’s HMS solution enables EPM and its customers to create unique strategies that maximize the effectiveness of the global supply chain and take advantage of the strengths of all EPM facilities through every stage of the product lifecycle. HMS allows for the creation of a blended strategy where, for example, a product early in its lifecycle may have the core manufacturing managed at a North American facility, while the materials supply chain is being established globally. Once the product and process are stable, the manufacturing can then be moved offshore – seamlessly – to an EPM facility fully integrated with our North American operations.

EPM Global Services’ HMS solution enables you to manage product effectively in its lifecycle, while maintaining and enhancing competitive advantage.
