Experience Rapid Production
Harness true power with East Coast Power Systems
East Coast Power Systems set a clear goal. finish the year strong, prepare for next year, and compress delivery timelines on large custom switchgear projects. The team focused on what matters to builders and facility owners. predictable schedules, early starts, and reliable equipment availability.
Contact UsLarge projects were facing extended procurement timelines for critical components. Breakers often quoted at 34 weeks, making a shorter timeframe imperative. Traditional order-to-build sequencing pushed projects to start later in the schedule. Downtime risk and budget pressure increased as calendars slipped.
The goal was to create a rapid-response model for custom switchgear that consistently enables early project start dates. By prioritizing inventory readiness, this would trigger production immediately upon award. The path to energization would shorten without trading off quality or compliance.

ECPS standardized a simple but powerful play: the moment a purchase order arrives, the build plan is released. Because roughly 90% of required components are already on the shelf, production can begin right away. Engineering and fabrication proceed in parallel to keep momentum high. The team aligns cut sheets, bus configurations, and enclosure details early so field crews can plan installation with confidence.
Contact UsInventory advantage: High-velocity components are stocked so critical breakers and assemblies do not stall the schedule.
Parallel workflows: Engineering, staging, and fabrication progress together for faster throughput.
Order-to-start discipline: Immediate material allocation at order award eliminates idle time.
Schedule control: Early start dates reduce downtime exposure and keep trades sequenced.
Quality and compliance: Each assembly passes documented QA and code checks before shipment.
Custom switchboards, panelboards, and associated breakers sized for the project’s loads and footprint. Enclosures, bus, and interconnect hardware configured to fit the electrical room without redesigning the space.

Lead times on large projects were consistently reduced to about 12 weeks. Early material availability enabled production to start immediately, which protected the construction schedule and minimized labor overruns. The standardized rapid-response process improved budget certainty and cut downtime risk during cutover.
For East Coast Power Systems, this case validated an inventory-first model that scales across project sizes, strengthens distributor relationships, and turns stocked components into a strategic advantage for custom switchgear delivery
Contact UsLead times are typically about 12 weeks when scope is defined at award. Inventory readiness covers roughly 90% of components, which avoids long breaker lead times and allows production to start immediately.
Provide the single-line diagram, load data, gear schedule, short-circuit and AIC requirements, room dimensions and clearances, utility requirements, and any spec or submittal templates. These details let engineering and fabrication run in parallel without rework.
Having critical parts on the shelf removes the biggest procurement delays. Earlier starts protect the construction sequence, cut overtime and standby labor, and lower change-order exposure tied to shifting dates.
Every assembly follows documented QA, UL or equivalent listing requirements, and code checks for clearances and fault ratings. Factory acceptance testing and labeled test reports ship with the gear, supporting a smooth energization and reliable performance.
