Key Challenges in the Automotive Industry

Complex Multi-Level Production Planning

Automotive components require BOM-level accuracy, routing, and scheduling that are difficult to manage manually.

Quality Compliance Requirements

Strict QA/QC standards such as PPAP, APQP, inspection plans, and testing procedures must be adhered to.

Inventory Fluctuations & Shortages

Raw material shortages and delayed procurement affect production continuity.

Manual Tracking of Parts, Batches & Tools

Managing thousands of parts, revisions, and tool lifecycles is a major challenge.

Procurement Delays & Vendor Inconsistency

Automotive units rely heavily on timely supplier deliveries; manual PO cycles cause delays.

Margins Shrink Due to Poor Cost Control

Without integrated costing and variance tracking, profitability reduces.

Automation reduces manual effort, improves accuracy, and ensures faster execution on the shop floor.

Automation

Automates MRP planning, production orders, material issue, inventory valuation, scrap posting, finance postings, and GST reporting for faster, accurate execution.

Approvals

Multi-level approval workflows provide strong business controls across engineering changes, purchase approvals, quality deviations, production variances, cost overrides, and credit limits.

Alerts

Real-time alerts notify stakeholders about material shortages, production delays, machine downtime, quality rejections, excess scrap, overdue purchase orders, and delivery exceptions.

AI, Analytics & Intelligent ERP

AIS Automotive ERP leverages SAP's embedded intelligence and analytics to enable data-driven manufacturing decisions. SAP Joule (GenAI Copilot) allows users to ask natural-language questions and instantly receive insights on production performance, material availability, costs, and quality trends.

Embedded analytics deliver real-time dashboards covering production efficiency, inventory KPIs, supplier performance, scrap and rejection analysis, and profitability. Predictive analytics help forecast demand, identify quality risks, and optimize capacity planning.

Using SAP BTP AI services, the platform enables scalable analytics, intelligent alerts, and advanced reporting, helping automotive manufacturers move from reactive issue handling to proactive, insight-led operations.
