Machinery / Industrial Parts & Tools

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 automobile parts manufacturers to obtain real market sales data of the entire vehicle factory, lack predictive analysis ability, and cannot achieve the accuracy of production plans.

Problem 5: There are many kinds of auto parts. They are 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 with different specifications and grades need to be classified and managed. For important parts, batch number and serial number need to be tracked.

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. Through a centralized foreign trade software management platform for components and accessories, establish connections between various components, system configurations, and the entire vehicle to provide solutions. 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. Associate accessories with orders, quickly respond to services, inventory, and also trade individual accessories. Foreign trade software makes the parts business more organized and improves work efficiency.

3) Regarding the management of basic relationship data in the supply and sales relationship chain. Integrate CRM requirements such as sub suppliers, independent manufacturers, and domestic and foreign customers through foreign trade software to ensure 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. Foreign trade software tracks products from order production to vehicle storage, enabling business personnel and trade departments to penetrate and track orders through software, standardizing the main parameter information of specific order production, providing real-time feedback on production and shipment dynamics, achieving consistency between vehicles and orders, and building 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 establishes and improves the software framework of business collection/payment, financial and pure financial business integration after various businesses, to ensure that the 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 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.
