Automobile manufacturers constantly strive to launch their products quickly and bring new vehicles to market faster to reduce engineering and development costs. They aim to provide their customers with vehicles that offer higher quality and lower maintenance costs and try to include distinctive features based on latest technologies. Similarly, suppliers strive to keep their costs down and meet the growing demands of the OEMs. Automotive industry has tried to increase collaboration and reduce cost of information sharing by creating an industry standards organization called AIAG - Automotive Industry Action Group. AIAG's primary goals are to reduce cost and complexity within the automotive supply chain and to improve speed-to-market, product quality, employee health-and-safety and the environment. AIAG has specified numerous standards including Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP).

Automotive industry challenges

The automotive industry today is better equipped than ever, however the following challenges still remain:
  • In order to stay competitive, original manufacturers and Tier 1 assemblers must accelerate time to market and improve product quality while reducing risks and costs
  • Ensure successful product launch by enabling collaboration of cross-functional customer/supplier teams to share current product and process information, and to analyze part readiness status
  • Industry-standard APQP process remains manual and cumbersome due to lack of integration between OEMs and suppliers
  • Multi-tier supply networks are unable to integrate Lean Production techniques into existing assembler and supplier companies, which increases manufacturing cost
  • Existing technological and knowledge-based (under utilized organizational data) strengths are not capitalized to the fullest
  • Dealers filter or tamper the crucial customer data before passing it to manufacturers
  • Manufacturers' customer relationships remain unknown as there is little direct interaction between manufacturers and customers
  • Its five times more expensive to get a new customer than to retain an existing one
Aiming at the above challenges, Adeptia has developed focused functionality to deliver comprehensive solution and assured benefits.
