Auto & Transportation

The main problems in the management of the automotive parts industry include the following ten points:

Problem 1: A car parts manufacturer inevitably produces car parts for multiple brands and models, and enterprises need to manage parts for multiple brands and models.

Problem 2: Due to the differences between imported parts, domestic parts, and self-made parts in automotive parts, including different transportation methods, cycles, lead times, and procurement channels, different sales prediction methods need to be used for different types of parts, and the plan needs to consider the rolling plan of prediction and sales orders.

Problem 3: With the gradual development of vehicle production from traditional unified model configuration sales to personalized selection, the demand for personalized products from supporting accessory manufacturers is also increasing. This has led to the development of new products for corresponding accessories and the difficulty of product personalized process management.

Question 4: The sales channels of automobile parts manufacturers are generally divided into self operated production and sales, and supporting production and sales for the entire vehicle factory. In terms of supporting production, it is difficult for auto parts manufacturers to obtain the real market sales data of complete vehicle manufacturers, lack of forecasting and analysis ability, and cannot achieve the accuracy of production plans.

Problem 5: There are a wide variety of automotive parts, and they need to be classified and managed according to different materials, specifications, and models. At the logistics level, all parts need to be managed uniformly. At the information flow level, parts of different specification levels need to be classified and managed. For important parts, batch numbers and serial numbers need to be traced and managed.

Problem 6: It is common for automotive parts to have multiple common and alternative parts for the same part, with diverse substitution rules. The management of one-to-many, many-to-one, and many-to-many substitution rules is complex, and these rules need to be considered in various control stages of the business.

Question 7: The inventory of accessories should not only meet sales or production needs, but also consider that the inventory quantity is within the safety stock range. Therefore, in stock accessories will be assembled and disassembled during business needs, and changes in the form and quantity of in stock inventory need to be recorded during the process.

Question 8: One of the characteristics of the automotive parts industry is to produce according to order, assemble according to order, and produce according to sales. The source of production demand is sales orders, and in sales order management, it is necessary to check the progress and status of each sales accessory during the production process.

Question 9: The production cost of accessories not only includes material costs, labor costs, manufacturing costs and other operating costs, but also includes rent, water and electricity costs and other expenses. ABC operation method is required for cost collection of homework costs, and cost allocation management is required for expense costs.

Question 10: Supplier evaluation will evaluate multiple dimensions such as price, quality, arrival rate, service rate, etc. It is necessary to automatically generate supplier evaluation parameters according to the evaluation system based on daily business data, and can automatically calculate the supplier evaluation level based on the evaluation weighting coefficient set by the parameters.

The automotive parts industry has its own complete supply chain system: "supply>manufacturing>sales>services", covering raw material supply, automotive parts processing, component matching, vehicle assembly, automotive distribution, and after-sales service. The main solutions to industry problems are:

1) Regarding the centralized management of various components and the correlation processing between various integrated parts and the entire vehicle. The automotive parts industry's foreign trade software provides solutions through a centralized management platform for components and accessories, establishing connections between various components, system configurations, and the entire vehicle. Make the physical composition and cost composition of the entire vehicle clear at a glance.

2) Regarding the production, distribution, inventory, and after-sales service handling of a large number of components. The automotive parts industry's foreign trade software is associated with accessories and orders, providing quick response services and inventory, as well as trading individual accessories. Make the parts business more organized and improve work efficiency.

3) Regarding the management of basic relationship data in the supply and sales relationship chain. By integrating CRM requirements such as sub suppliers, independent manufacturers, and domestic and foreign customers, we ensure the transparency of various relationship resources.

4) Regarding the standardization of the sales process. It is necessary to standardize the internal pricing, external quotation, bulk order processing, production demand analysis, production tracking, shipment, commodity inspection, customs declaration, etc. of products, and ultimately standardize the data of various business processes of the company. Standardized production, distribution, and shipment management to improve the efficiency of business personnel.

5) Regarding product detailed information resources. The foreign trade software in the automotive parts industry tracks products from order production to vehicle warehousing, enabling business personnel and trade departments to penetrate and track orders through software, standardize the main parameter information of specific order production, provide real-time feedback on production and shipment dynamics, achieve consistency between vehicles and orders, and build a bridge between product sales and production inventory

6) Regarding the issue of disconnection between settlement, production and distribution, and logistics. The foreign trade software of auto parts industry establishes and improves the software framework of business collection/payment, financial and pure financial business integration after various businesses, to ensure that financial settlement personnel understand, release and feedback relevant financial content in a timely manner. Improve the work efficiency of financial personnel, alleviate work responsibilities, and make accounts clearer.

The benefits of information management in the foreign trade software and automotive parts industry.

(1) Improve management. Effectively manage information in business processes and achieve timely queries. Including tracking and warning of order execution status; The flow of funds; Query of information such as verification and tax refund.

(2) Conduct risk control. Reflected in the effective division of permissions.

(3) Effective management of company products and customer information. Reduce the problem of data information that cannot be connected due to personnel handover.
