Winning In The Complex Build-To-Order World of Auto Manufacturing

Automotive OEMs are introducing new models at a dizzying pace, with an increasing number of end-configurations. With heavy penalties for quality and on-time delivery issues, automotive suppliers and logistics partners must deliver zero-defect products on-time. How can they get the job done reliably and to the OEM’s built-to-order (BTO) specifications?

Join us on March 27, 2014!

The global automotive industry continues to steadily recover since the financial crisis. Automotive OEMs are introducing new models at a dizzying pace, with an increasing number of end-configurations. With heavy penalties for quality and on-time delivery issues, automotive suppliers and logistics partners must deliver zero-defect products on-time. How can they get the job done reliably and to the OEM’s built-to-order (BTO) specifications?

During this webcast, we’ll hear from Michael Oestreich, IT solutions manager BTO at Delphi in Germany. Delphi is a global Tier 1 supplier of electronics and is using innovative supply chain processes and technology to meet the evolving needs of its automotive customers. We’ll also hear from Puneet Saxena, the vice president of manufacturing industry strategy at JDA Software Group, for perspective on how to implement and maintain the systems necessary to meet requirements for even the most demanding of OEMs.

Registrants to this webinar will learn about:

• How to create a lean an agile operation that supports complex vehicle-specific module assemblies, late customizations and in-sequence deliveries.

• How to select the right IT and technical partners to ensure that your operations have everything they need to remain flexible to the increasing complexity of OEM demands.

• How to avoid penalties for delivering parts that aren’t up to the OEM’s quality standards or not according to their schedule.

At the conclusion of the presentation, a live Q&A will allow audience members to pose questions to our expert panel.
