What We Do | Edison Manufacturing and Engineering, Inc.

WE'RE YOUR TURN-KEY MANUFACTURING PARTNER

We specialize in the production and integration of complex mechanical and electromechanical assemblies.

Edison works to provide quick speeds to market. Our expertise lies in seamlessly integrating components, whether you need dozens or tens of thousands produced annually. We excel in providing an efficient, flexible, and cost-effective approach without compromising on quality.

With deep roots in the automotive industry, we stand alongside PJ Wallbank Springs, a trusted name in automotive powertrain supply for over four decades. Leveraging this experience and pilot production expertise, we extend our capabilities to various low-volume assembly challenges across the mobility sector and beyond.

Edison exceeded our expectations as our partner for autonomous vehicle assembly and integration. Our program was completed on time, under cost, and the quality of Edison’s work was unquestionable. Edison was both proactive and responsive throughout the course of our program, helping us negotiate several challenges, fostering a strong partnership rather than vendor-client relationship. We would not hesitate to work with Edison in the future.

A TRUSTED PARTNER

At our core, we prioritize three principles: capital efficiency, flexibility, and meticulous process management to ensure top-notch product quality.

Whether it's applying a rigorous automotive APQP and PPAP process or adopting a more streamlined approach, we tailor our methods to suit your specific needs.

We aren't right for everyone, but we might be the ideal partner if you’re:

Launching a new low/medium volume product
Entering a new market
Seeking a domestic US manufacturing partner
Looking to optimize service part production
Facing delivery or quality challenges
Relocating existing production
Ramping up production beyond initial pilot lines

From upfront support in crafting a manufacturing strategy or developing a supply chain to seamless production execution, we're your one-stop solution for low-volume production needs.

Markets we Serve

Power Distribution Unit (PDU) Assembly

Edison's Collaboration with an EV OEM for PDU Production

A niche electric vehicle manufacturer was transitioning from prototype into scaled production. They needed a dependable and trusted contract manufacturing partner to support the time-sensitive production of its Power Distribution Unit (PDU).

Aftermarket Performance Part Production

Edison's Partnership with an Aftermarket Part Manufacturer

A supplier of aftermarket performance parts, known for its durable products and commitment to quality, planned a new product launch. Unable to meet production demands internally, the company sought a trusted manufacturing partner.

MANUFACTURING –
It’s What We Do and Who We Are

Our manufacturing engineers develop product-centric plans that focus on the needs of the product AND the needs of our partners. Following this plan, we can identify and apply just the right level of technology for each specific project and application.

Examples of Manufacturing Deliverables:

Manufacturing Feasibility – Stackups, GD&T Reviews, PFMEA & Control Plans
Line Layouts, Cell Development & Associated Tooling, Fixtures & Equipment Design
Work Instruction & Build Book Development
Value Stream Mapping
Virtual Build Simulation

QUALITY ENGINEERING –
Constantly Improving the Process

Quality engineering defines supplier value requirements as well as incoming, in-process, outgoing and continuous improvement activities. There is a defined set of standards for which we apply under ISO but, to best meet partner needs, we also focus on critical product requirements to incorporate the best practices from APQP, UL, AS9100D, TS and IATF – and more as necessary.

Examples of Engineering Deliverables:

Complete Control Plan Containing:
- PPAP Requirements
- Specialty Requirements – UL, ITAR, High Voltage, etc.
- Incoming, In-Process & Outgoing Quality Control Plans
- Pre-Delivery Inspection Requirements
Product Centric Quality Metrics
CAPA Scorecard

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT –
From Contractor Selection to Finished Goods Shipment, We Handle It All

Our supply chain team has the ability to start with a make/buy analysis and then, if required, provide cost modeling for strategic sourcing and prepare commodity strategies for each project. We are fortunate to have longstanding relationships with established suppliers covering a broad spectrum of services regarding commodity type, geographical location and overall capability. From component sourcing to forecasting material availability on the production floor, we support programs of all complexities.

Examples of Supply Management Deliverables:

Advanced Purchasing Cost Modeling During Design
Developing Early Relationships with Supply Base
Commodity Strategies In-Place
Just-in-Time Inventory Planning
Real-Time Inventory Tracking & Reporting
Import/Export of Raw Materials or Finished Goods
Supplier Quality Assessment & Assurance Measures In-Place

HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT –
Getting the Most from Workforce Assets

Scaling resources to meet partner demands is a critical part of production. Our portfolio of businesses and extensive partnership base allows our team to flex resources as necessary to support given demand. Our team’s expertise lies in effective resource allocation that allows us to apply the right level of resource when necessary. Personnel at all levels of expertise are assigned to a program team to best meet cost, quality, and timing objectives.

Examples of Human Capital Management Deliverables:

Creating a Weekly Resource Loading Plan
Defining Roles & Responsibilities for all Program Team Members
RACI Matrices

OPERATIONS –
Optimizing Technologies & Processes

The Edison approach brings a Tier 1 solution without Tier 1 costs or headaches. Our team utilizes a state-of-the-art ERP and MES solution along with poka-yoked processes (such as the integration of wireless torquing systems). These processes are applied only as required by the performance characteristics of the product. Our approach allows for the understanding of available incoming supply-to-planned-demand and extends as far as who installed which fastener, and when.

Examples of Operation Deliverables:

Secured Space to Contain Customer Intellectual Property
Lean Process (5S – Sort, Set, Shine, Standardize, Sustain)
Root Cause Analysis Tools
Time Studies for Value-Added & Non-Value-Added Time
Scalable Approach – Right Level of Technology for the Application (for example, as demand increases, a line can be reconfigured, or a shift added)

OUR CAPABILITIES

We offer a reliable partnership from proof of concept to scaled production.

Edison is an enabler for manufacturers venturing through the journey from concept to reality. We strategically prioritize agility, capital-efficiency, and product quality to ensure our partners are able to scale without limits. We are ISO 9001 certified.
