A SAP ERP template for tier 1 and tier 2 automotive suppliers
The automotive industry is characterized by strict OEM standards and requirements. Efficiency, JIT, JIS, EDI, compliance, traceability, co-development, PLM, re-labeling, RF solutions, IoT innovations, and returnable packaging are just a few of the many topics and challenges we address with our FAST-AUTOMOTIVE template, developed specifically for tier 1 and 2 automotive suppliers.
Consumer markets are dominated by a demand for tailor-made cars and car components, ever-faster delivery time and at the highest quality.

Key challenges in automotive manufacturing
Today’s automotive industry requires high flexibility, innovation and compliance on the part of tier 1 and 2 suppliers. Without these key characteristics, top OEMs will turn to your competitors for solutions.
Flexibility: to produce customized products flexibly and rapidly while keeping minimal stock at hand, companies must be creative with their process flows and the tools at their disposal while controlling margins that are under ever-increasing pressure.
Innovation: the key to differentiation is innovation, often realized in partnership with OEMs through co-innovation programs, which must be well-managed to shorten innovation cycles and foster collaboration. Performant PLM tools are also necessary to manage the speed at which innovation is introduced while ensuring compliance.
Compliance: to avoid expensive penalties, suppliers must adhere to the differing formats, rules and standards of car manufacturers, meet extremely high efficiency rate requirements and deliver JIT or JIS with full traceability.
