SAP For Automotive
Business Processes For Operations Management
To reliably reduce manufacturing costs, consistently meet customer requirements, and comply with quality and safety standards, leading automotive manufacturers focus on end-to-end operations – with complete transparency across the entire operational chain. SAP for Automotive supports your core operations processes, including:
- Manufacturing operations – Align operations and resources between your core facility and plants with support for the entire plan-to-produce process, including enterprise planning and control, plant-level operations, manufacturing execution, and product quality and safety compliance.
- Make-to-order manufacturing – Enhance corporate performance, revenue, and customer service by improving planning and model mix optimization, accuracy, and order quality. Improve capacity utilization while reducing work-in-process inventories, material cost, component obsolescence, and working capital requirements.
- Operational procurement/inbound logistics – Save time and money and improve operational efficiency and transparency with support for your end-to-end process, from ordering parts using forecast, just-in-time (JIT), or supplier-managed inventory to releases transmission, gross demands, inventory status, advanced shipment notifications, goods receipt processing, and payments to the supplier.
- Outbound logistics – Facilitate internal and external logistics collaboration to increase speed and efficiency, improve capacity utilization, improve visibility, lower working capital requirements, and reduce logistics costs.
