Automotive Industry Solution
Supply Chain Management
Supply Chain Management keeps your entire supply chain synchronized: from EDI-based call-offs to multi-site coordination, you maintain full control over material, data, and container flows—for cycle-accurate JIT/JIS deliveries without delays.
✓ EDI (Electronic Data Interchange)
Automate data exchange with OEMs and suppliers for delivery schedules, call-offs, and advance notifications
✓ Container Management
Track reusable load carriers to control return cycles and maintain accurate inventory levels
✓ Forecast and Demand Planning
Generate reliable forecasts of future material requirements for proactive capacity planning and uninterrupted production
✓ Parts Planning
Calculate material needs based on production schedules for real-time visibility of critical components
✓ Multisite
Coordinate production across multiple sites with centralized sourcing and demand-driven supply throughout your network
Spend Management
Spend Management synchronizes procurement with production to automate call-offs, deliver data-driven supplier insights, and enable transparent subcontracting—reducing inventory, cutting costs, and securing material availability.
✓ Supplier Call-Off Order
Automate production-synchronous call-offs from framework agreements in line with order quantities and delivery schedules for JIT procurement cycles
✓ Subcontracting
Maintain transparent control over material flows and cost allocations
✓ Supplier Evaluation
Evaluate suppliers based on quality, delivery and pricing reliability to make informed procurement decisions and optimize your supplier portfolio
✓Invoice processing
Automatically match invoices with purchase orders and goods receipts
Customer Call-Off Order
Call-off order management ensures precise OEM deliveries with automated processing of fixed-date and JIT call-offs to synchronize production and logistics with customer schedules—for error-free deliveries and minimal inventory.
✓ Releases (REL)
Manage long-term OEM delivery plans with quantity forecasts for coordinated capacity and material planning
✓ Finite Releases (FRL)
Handle precise delivery instructions over a short planning horizon with updated quantities and timing
✓ Just-in-Time Releases (JIT)
Schedule production in real time based on resources, capacities, and material dependencies
✓ Self-Billing
Support OEM self-billing through credit memos, enabling automatic payment upon delivery confirmation for faster financial processing
✓ OEM Delivery Models
Manage packaging requirements, transport logistics, and digital transmission protocols for full OEM system compatibility
Production
Production manages tool-intensive manufacturing with precision: APS and multi-resource planning increase throughput, reduce setup times, and maintain cycle times—all with full traceability.
✓ APS (Advanced Planning and Scheduling)
Advanced production planning with dynamic capacity adjustments
✓ Multi-Resource Planning
Coordinate machines, tools, and personnel to prevent unplanned downtime
✓ Joint Production
Simultaneously manufacture multiple sub-variants in a single process for efficient resource use and accurate cost allocation
✓ Tool management
Monitor usage, maintenance, and lifecycle of all production tools for preventive maintenance and minimized downtime
✓ CAD
Direct access to product designs and BOMs from production planning ensures up-to-date manufacturing data and rapid responses to changes
Quality Management
Maintain consistently high quality with integrated inspections, full batch traceability, and structured audit management, ensuring IATF 16949 compliance, error-free deliveries, and audit readiness without extra effort.
✓ Quality Checks
Conduct incoming goods, in-process, and outgoing goods inspections based on dynamic sampling plans
✓ Traceability Through Lot Management
Gain complete transparency over materials and components for controlled recalls and root-cause analysis
✓ Complaints Management
Leverage structured workflows with 8D reports and CAPA actions for fast, transparent processing and customer communication
✓ Audit
Prepare, execute, and document internal and supplier audits in line with IATF, VDA, and industry-specific requirements
✓ Gauge Management
Monitor the lifecycle, calibration, and availability of measuring devices to ensure valid inspection results
Logistics Planning
Logistics Planning ensures smooth material flows with mobile warehouse management, consignment control, and automated shipping increasing inventory turnover, reducing stock levels, and guaranteeing on-time plant deliveries even with high delivery frequency.
✓ Mobile Warehouse Logistics
Handle incoming goods, picking, and inventory-taking in real time using barcode scanning—completely paperless
✓ Consignment Stock Processing
Manage consignment inventory from external suppliers with accurate valuation and billing logic
✓ Plant Supply
Coordinate internal logistics between warehouses and production lines, including replenishment alerts for timely part availability
✓ Dispatch Processing
Fulfill long-term customer agreements with flexible delivery schedules and automated call-off processing
✓ Complaint Management
Process complaints transparently, analyze root causes, and prevent recurring issues
