Release the Strain on Your Automotive Supply Chain
Today’s automotive industry must simultaneously deal with rapid customization to satisfy consumer demands, stock market pressures to increase financial performance, and the complexities of increased globalization. This is reflected in the automotive manufacturing and logistics challenges for:
- Managing the assembly and distribution complexities of made to order vehicles
- Synchronizing late customization and in-sequence delivery with the increasing number of options
- Creating mission critical processes to minimize the impact of shorter lead time requirements
- Responding to rapid changes in real time
- Pushing responsibility up the supply chain
- Reducing inventory throughout the supply chain
For automotive suppliers, this puts tremendous strain on their manufacturing strategies and supply chains to deliver quality products on-time, made-to-order, and in some cases, in sequential order, so manufacturing brand owners can quickly respond to consumers´ unique requests.
Only companies with the most agile and integrated manufacturing and logistics strategies and technology will succeed in adapting to customized production and delivery, meeting the demands of mass customization.

(JIT) inventory practices
It is foolish to keep large quantities of inventory around your shop. Money that you have sunk into inventory should be used to grow your business and not just sit around. The best way reduce the amount of time parts are warehoused is to adopt just in time (JIT) inventory practices.
Do not Waste Money Storing Large Amounts of Inventory! With JIT inventory practices, low quantities of parts are kept around and replenished as needed usually on a frequent basis. In order to ensure that you have adequate stock it is important accurate records are kept. SIMMS Automotive inventory software is the most efficient way to do this.
