The automotive industry demands precise and synchronized planning
The complexity of extensive catalogs, long supply times and logistical restrictions requires total coordination. Connecting forecasting, purchasing and production reduces risks of stockouts or excess inventory, improving profitability and service capacity throughout the chain.
The main challenges facing the automotive industry
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Long lead times from global suppliers
Long lead times (90-180 days): critical material that depends on global suppliers, making planning and production continuity difficult.
-
High minimum lot sizes
High minimum lot sizes make it difficult to balance coverage, MOQ and service risk, generating excess stock or lack of availability.
-
Risk of obsolescence due to forecast
Changes in forecast generate excess stock or line stops, affecting efficiency and operating costs.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Supplier alternation
Switch to the available supplier if the main one fails, ensuring continuity of supply.
-
Risk-adjusted coverage
Limits immobilized capital and optimizes inventory according to stock risk.
-
Automatic validation of MOQs
Meet minimums without overordering, avoiding excess stock and unnecessary costs.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Mixed Lots and Long Changes
Colors, paints and availability of components generate delays and complicate production scheduling.
-
Infinite planning that causes errors
Infinite plan causes extra changes, loss of OEE and overtime due to lack of capacity limitation.
-
Lack of visibility of bottlenecks
Difficult to detect bottlenecks or adjust priority orders without a clear visualization of the workload.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Finite capacity sequencer
Generate a realistic Gantt per line, adjusting sequences according to available capacity.
-
Extended matrix of change times
Minimizes setup minutes considering all batch and component changes.
-
Master production plan
Anticipate orders without overloading the plant, balancing load and prioritizing critical orders.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Expired components or components with specification changes
Components that expire or change specifications: Electronics, adhesives, seals, which makes their use difficult and generates obsolescence.
-
Immobilized stock
Capital and space blocked by inventory that does not rotate, affecting efficiency and investment.
-
Lack of early warnings
Difficult to clean up the balance sheet in time due to the absence of warnings about the risk of obsolescence or overstock.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Rotation and overstock report
Detect excess units and amount to prioritize corrective actions.
-
Obsolescence-sensitive inventory projection
Exclude expired batches from planning to avoid unnecessary purchases and losses.
-
Raw material segmentation
Reassign alternative uses and avoid waste, optimizing the use of resources.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Decisions with partial data
Duplication of stock and urgent shipments due to incomplete information between warehouses.
-
Lack of multilevel optimization
It does not release capital or reduce service times due to the absence of efficient redistribution of inventory.
-
Complexity in the network of plants and hubs
Difficult to coordinate materials between plants and regional hubs, affecting delivery times and availability.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Centralized multi-warehouse management
Coordinate each warehouse to improve efficiency and visibility throughout the network.
-
Multilevel optimization
Automatically redistributes surpluses to free up capital and balance inventories.
-
Unified demand, purchases and stock report
Provides a complete view of the network to facilitate operational and strategic decisions.
-
-
Poorly coordinated throws and substitutions
Forecast does not update codes or history.
Manage releases and replacements with automatic updating of codes and historical data to maintain accurate forecasting.
Systematic bias in the forecast
Safety cushions inflate foresight and reduce credibility.
Adjust forecasts by eliminating systematic biases and using historical data to improve forecast accuracy and confidence.
