Auto parts enterprises are forming an intensive industrial chain around the core of the OEM. Therefore, the auto parts manufacturing industry has been unable to get rid of the two-way pressure from the OEMs and suppliers. On the one hand, the OEMs transmit costs and risks to the supporting manufacturers as much as possible in order to compress inventory and reduce costs. On the other hand, auto parts enterprises face many first-tier suppliers, second-tier suppliers, etc., but it is difficult to effectively control them. supplier. The quality of supply and supply time of downstream suppliers directly affects the production of auto parts enterprises, which in turn affects the supply to the main engine factory.
From the perspective of the market environment, the auto parts industry is highly competitive in the same industry, and faces many comparisons in terms of price, quality, supply and service of spare parts. With the deepening of the global integration process, auto parts companies have to face more and more international competitors. These are the challenges of auto parts enterprises for flexible resilience - how to ensure the timely supply of upstream suppliers, how to establish a long-term stable supply relationship with auto OEMs, and become the direction of auto parts enterprises.
ERP first, ease inventory pressure
Today, as the market changes rapidly, more and more companies are beginning to feel the operational risks brought about by inventory pressure and start to seek on-demand production.
The popularity index of ERP system in the manufacturing industry has gradually increased, and it has become an essential tool for the management informationization of the auto parts manufacturing industry.
In the field of logistics and manufacturing, ERP is both the starting point of the business and the end of the business results record, which effectively combines inventory and warehousing, production and the site. The ERP system undertakes the demand notice and demand forecast information from the OEM, and ERP provides the product inventory, providing real-time and accurate inventory consumption information for the enterprise, based on the relationship between the supply and demand.
ERP combines different types of customer needs with supplier supply through material planning, forecasting rolling, and order rolling. ERP transparentizes the manufacturing process and quality SPC (Statistical Process Control) process, providing real-time information to host customers and providing a basis for regular audits of suppliers. Through the external technical supervision and internal process refinement of the OEM, ERP can also improve product quality and control delivery time.
In addition, zero inventory is also a risk. Customers need goods, no matter whether you have stock or not, so you must have a good grasp of the inventory. How to properly allocate storage inventory, raw materials, work-in-progress, semi-finished products, finished products, and consignment stocks in the inventory structure. Because the risk of zero inventory is great. How to optimize the entire inventory should be done to support the production of production, including inventory analysis, cost, quality traceability and so on. This also requires the support of information systems such as ERP.
Suppliers and procurement management still need to be strengthened
In terms of supply management, the grasp of market demand provides accurate job information for the supply of raw materials and logistics and warehousing. But it is clear that ERP itself is still lacking in the management of suppliers and procurement. This has prompted more companies to start looking for new solutions. In this direction, Shanghai Natiefu Transmission Shaft Co., Ltd. is not only the forerunner of the industry, but also a good practitioner. Its informational thinking has a universal reference significance for auto parts enterprises.
In 2010, Shanghai Natiefu Company cooperated with domestic famous cooperative OA manufacturers to jointly build a collaborative OA platform. Focus on supplier management and procurement management. It is reported that the OA project will help Natiefu to establish a supplier portal to form information resource sharing and inventory consumption transparency, and establish a good cooperative relationship with suppliers. For procurement management, Pan-Micro has established a “basic data dictionary” for Shanghai Natiefu to carry out unified release of material prices, thereby ensuring procurement quality, reducing procurement costs and procurement cycle. At the same time, Pan-Micro has produced the “Relationship Table between Suppliers and Salesmen”, “Relationship Table between Suppliers and Freight Forwarders”, “Relationship Table between Suppliers and Customs Companies”, “Supplier Transportation Periodic Table”, A practical information sheet such as the receipt of the file maintenance table, etc., to support the purchase of the order, and the production plan is derived from the MRP through the application of the 'steel pull' module, and the steel sheet is pulled to purchase the schedule to be approved on the collaborative platform. . The Pan-Micro OA system is deployed on the basis of comprehensive research and understanding of Na Tiefu's procurement requirements, covering forms such as “Supplier Billing”, “CKD Purchasing”, “Domestic and VMI Purchasing”, and “Supplier Account Opening Certification”. management. The integration of the Pan-Micro OA and the MRP system has truly achieved scientific and effective procurement management.
At present, the promotion of management optimization and the enhancement of core competitiveness by informationization has become the mainstream trend of the auto parts industry and even the manufacturing industry, and the informationization process of Shanghai Natiefu Company is also worth learning and learning. Looking ahead to the development of the auto parts manufacturing industry, the application of ERP and collaborative OA will also become the mainstream trend.
