Driving digital transformation in the Automotive industry

Car manufacturers, automotive OEMs, tier 1 and tier 2 suppliers, and dealerships face significant pressure to overhaul their global operations and adapt to the ever-evolving landscape of mobility. Hence, it is inevitable to find innovative approaches to proactively foresee risks throughout your inbound material supply chain and safeguard the supply of crucial parts and continue to improve efficiency for commodities and other materials.

EV adoption increase

A 90% increase in EV sales and a transition towards emission-free vehicles requires the industry to go into “business-as-unusual” to take advantage of the opportunities and avoid becoming obsolete. Managing through this transition with the ramp-down of the traditional model and ramp-up of a new model with fewer but more expensive and critical parts, fewer suppliers but still additional ones to the existing supply base as well as changes in the core manufacturing process combined with different logistics schemes is going to be formidable. 

90%

Raises safety stock

Due to increasing unpredictability leading to disruption of the 'just-in-time' model that has been foundational to the industry for decades, manufacturers have started to go to ad-hoc 'just-in-case' strategies for parts without changing operational processes with their suppliers. By shifting from ‘just-in-time’ to ‘just-in-case’ strategies, manufacturers hold more stock to protect against unplanned disruptions. The write-downs of excess and obsolete inventory often follow stocking binges. Hence, larger safety stocks are a remedy, not a cure.

87%

Has limited visibility

Automotive supply chains are built to bring large numbers of components together into a just-in-time / just-in-sequence manufacturing process. Even with the other 2 trends, the top operational challenge within automotive supply chains is to ensure full visibility throughout the procure-to-pay cycle including logistics planning and execution. 81% have implemented supply chain visibility solutions, but only 13% are real-time enough, and link material flows to the designated transportation processes. Virtually none will track beyond the next tier of suppliers.

Order Collaboration

If you also work with classical Purchase Orders for suppliers, the Order Collaboration App optimizes collaboration to complement or provide an alternative to EDI (electronic data interchange) integration with your supplier's ERP system. For contract-based procurement, this is where you share the Contracts with suppliers that drive the delivery schedules. They are used to update prices, add contract lines for new periods, and monitor overall quantities and price breaks.

Forecast Collaboration

The Forecast Collaboration App allows collaboration between buyers and suppliers on developments in time-phased demand. With the app, we support your contract-based procurement with Delivery Schedules for suppliers that are easy to work with, because we proactively point out relevant changes with or without a feedback loop from the supplier. We support just-in-time and KanBan schedules and leverage these directly during the Shipment Collaboration process.

Inventory Collaboration

This app is designed to improve visibility on stock balances with all relevant elements such as forecasts, announced dispatches, inventory by location, and production schedules. It proactively alerts on shortages, especially if milestones from external sources are not reported for completion. They safeguard from production schedule disruptions and can drive safety stocks down by incorporating suppliers’ actual performance and deviations into the calculation.
