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.

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.
