The risks of non<strong>compliance</strong><br />

are costly<br />

Non<strong>compliance</strong> can jeopardize a<br />

company’s profits, market share<br />

<strong>and</strong> competitive position.<br />

Halted shipments can result when<br />

companies are unable to deliver<br />

complete or correct <strong>compliance</strong><br />

documents. Significant shipping<br />

delays can occur if companies fail<br />

to identify <strong>and</strong> document<br />

material attributes.<br />

Delays in the release of critical<br />

design changes can be caused<br />

by part obsolescence, part<br />

specification changes or the<br />

introduction of new suppliers.<br />

Lost competitive position can result<br />

if companies are unable to<br />

competitively bid on environmentally<br />

friendly contracts.<br />

The <strong>compliance</strong> requirements<br />

<strong>for</strong> individual market launches<br />

can be insufficiently validated if<br />

requirements are not fully<br />

captured or if the validation<br />

process can not effectively<br />

re-use existing documents<br />

<strong>and</strong> specifications.<br />

Excessive <strong>and</strong> obsolete inventory<br />

may need to be written off if a<br />

company’s value chain is not able<br />

to share <strong>and</strong> en<strong>for</strong>ce material<br />

consumption rules in a global<br />

manufacturing environment.<br />
