SAP for Automotive allows you to configure production in response to customer demand, providing increased throughput and manufacturing flexibility. It supports the full range of activities involved in build-to-order manufacturing, including:

• Supply-to-line management – SAP solutions give you comprehensive functionality to manage inbound processing and inventory of parts and components. SAP solutions enable manufacturers to coordinate and schedule just-in-sequence deliveries from system suppliers to the line.
• Manufacturing – With SAP solutions, you can handle a variety of manufacturing planning environments, including high-volume and highly configurable products, repetitive and quantity-based manufacturing, and order-centric production.
• Enterprise asset management – SAP solutions give you the functionality you need to optimize plant performance across installed assets at the lowest possible cost.
