Automotive Supplier

 

Mission

The production of airbags is characterized by long processing times to warp and weave air cushions (upstream) and to assemble airbags in small lot sizes for daily call offs (downstream). The planning is very challenging and therefore our 2nd tier customer decided to define a global supply chain and IT strategy in the use case of ERP and MES implementation. Furthermore, the synchronisation of the supply chain from warping to final assembly should be solved with our STREMLER REALTIME TECHNOLOGIES.

 
 
 

Solution and Work Process

In the first step, we designed the architecture for planning and control accordingly to the supply chain and IT strategy of our customer. In the next step we realized the S&OP process with our synchronisation module to align order schedules from raw material to shipment.

  • Business requirement specification based on the supply chain strategy

  • Supply chain planning architecture and planning methodology for production areas

  • Derivation of IT technical requirements in ERP and MES

  • Development and implementation of an integrated S&OP planning platform

  • Support of the transformation process through training and continuous improvement plan

Results

Along with the real time visibility on material availability and flows end-to-end, following results could be achieved:

  • 20 % increase in productivity

  • 50 % inventory reduction

  • Customer service level improvement from 60 % to 99 % OTIF

  • Dismantling customer orders’ backlog from 20 % to zero
