An IndustryWeek Webinar Invitation

The manufacturing strategies for OEM's, Tier I and Tier II Automotive are changing.

• There's a strong possibility that the structure of the industry could change, with automakers dis-integrating more of the vehicle's component manufacturing or specializing in vehicle categories making the adoption of flexible manufacturing systems inevitable.
• Automotive component manufacturers are exploring manufacturing operations technology adoption to improve returns of capital.
• The high-host of capital is leading Tier I and Tier II manufacturers to focus on strategic cost reductions by increasing asset and resource utilization.

To get a jumpstart on your competition, you need to join us September 26 where Dave Snyder, Siemens MOM Channel Manager, and Nikhil Joshi, Founder & Director, SNic Solutions, a well-known Advanced Planning and Scheduling Subject Matter Expert will share the best practices adopted for production planning and scheduling by automotive suppliers.

Some of the challenges that will be addressed include:

• Many auto suppliers have challenges in Synchronizing Demand Signals with Manufacturing Execution.
• Although Lean Manufacturing Principles have been existent in factories, technologies that sustain lean processes and documentation are yet to be realized.
• Uncertain demand from customers is creating more pressure on auto suppliers to supply on-time with effective asset and resource utilization.
• Companies with ERP still have Production Scheduling done on disparate systems like spreadsheets, often leading to wasted effort and rework.
• Over 1/2 of the top performing companies are not able to quickly respond to customer demand changes accurately or even predict the impact of the changes on capacity utilization.
