A few supplier have reported rack unbalances in the loop which may affect their production plans. To attain forward visibility of rack returns shipping northbound from EAP to its supply base please contact Penske, Chris Wild at 313-5831584. Navistar requires all suppliers using returnable racks to have available expendable designs to ship product to our plants which warrant quality at delivery. It is important to contact the plant packaging activity, Oscar Leal at 011-52-818-154-2043 to obtain prior authorization for any expendable packaging the supplier intents to bill back to EAP. Please provide your written acknowledgment of these volumes projections and of your ability to support them.

We look forward in working with you in resolving any constraints to the above stated plan."
