Auto & Motorcycle Parts Solution

Industry Background


The auto & motorcycle parts industry develops accompanying with the auto & motorcycle industry in China. As new features of group orientation, high-tech, systematic supply and global business rising in the international auto % motorcycle parts enterprises, the domestic auto & motorcycle parts enterprises show the consequent development trend in the face of challenges and opportunities: setting up modular production and supply systems; gradually bringing up self-development capabilities to reinforce technical innovation.

In addition, the number of auto & motorcycle parts enterprises is starting to decrease after separation, reconstruction and incorporation. These enterprises strengthen their major businesses to establish their competitive edge. Taking advantages of low costs, these enterprises strive to enter the global purchase system of machinery factories with features of exquisite & prompt production, digital factory and ERP & network management. The ERP application degree is improving, and the enterprise is focusing on whole-process cooperation and e-commerce.

Industry Characteristics


Obvious enterprise category

Where “Machine Attachment” is integrated with the machinery factory, non-independent accounting and complement in factory by priority; “Government Assistance” refers to local allocation assistance, mandatory complement of the local machinery factory and major type; “Market Independence” refers to private enterprise, concentrated on the spare parts market, small scale, low technical level at initial step but developing fast; “Foreign Investment” has advanced technologies and management, international and domestic markets, and enjoys preferential policies in China.

Various sales types

Enterprises in different types have different sales modes. The complement enterprise uses the sales contract, sales plan and purchase consignment modes. The sales settlement quantity is the ordinal supply quantity to the machinery factory. The part enterprise delivers goods based on sales order and applies different prices and collection modes in accordance with customer relation, picking or order quantity.

Complicated production plan

The enterprise providing complement parts for the machinery factory shall synchronize the production plan of the machinery factory, decomposes the production plan to branch factories, workshops and general assembly workshop to build a hierarchical plan system, and makes purchase plan based on annual/monthly plan, especially for bulk raw materials (such as steel plates and import raw materials). The enterprise concentrating on the after-sales market makes purchase plan of bulk raw materials according to forecast and organize production based on market forecast or sales order.

Diverse product types

Considering product serialization, generalization and standardization, these enterprises provide several kinds of BOM configurations, quickly work out a design according to requirements of the machinery factory, process product design documents (such as material code, product BOM and routing) and then provide every link of the business at the product design & development phase. In addition, they change product design and upgrade product as required by the machinery factory.

Strict logistics management

The machinery factory generally prefers “Just In Time (JIT)” supply. It sends an order to the parts enterprise according to the assembly plan of production line and the parts enterprise usually sets up a production line or a remote warehouse near the general assembly line of the machinery factory to ensure timely delivery.

Precise production management

Drive the exquisite production system of accounting with the customer and eliminate waste in any form to satisfy customer requirements and to achieve zero stock, the enterprise target. In addition, the compact production process applies to different manufacturing requirements with the flexible production technologies to alleviate production fluctuation due to order change. Use the small-lot and versatile production technology and ordinal production technology for purchase to ensure raw material supply, balance operation process and avoid overstock of WIPs. The whole process is under on-site management for supervision of production input/output and resource consumption.

Features


Kingdee K/3 brings up a solution optimal for the auto & motorcycle parts industry ERP degree with its advanced technologies and best application practices. This solution is developed on the basis of advanced international auto parts enterprise management practices and experiences from a large number of projects in conjunction with the current management status of domestic auto parts enterprises. It optimizes business process and project implementation method based on the auto & motorcycle industry features and helps domestic auto parts enterprises realize management innovation and drastic evolution.

With its advanced technical architecture, multifunctional MPS/MRP, customized business process, advanced cost management (operation cost and actual cost) and personalized BOS platform, the Auto & Motorcycle Parts Solution provides thorough guarantee for the auto & motorcycle parts industry.

Sales Management

Simulate cost analysis and guide quotation; provide delivery date and ATP query, prompt customer commitment, and promote customer satisfaction; apply installment collection control through the contract collection plan and performance report to speed up reflow of enterprise funds.

Support various sales modes for parts enterprises in different types:

• Sales quotation, sales contract and sales order enable the machinery factory to make sales agreement based on contract and make sales delivery based on demand plan, realize order-based delivery for small order or after-sales market, provide business support for various market activities of the enterprise and facilitate enterprise management tracing process.
  
  
• Cash sales, account sales and consignment apply to order stock-out and ordinal supply as well as accounting & settlement based on supply quantity required by the machinery factory.

Support multi-directional customer credit management:

• Realize overall control of customer funds and credit.
  
  
• Mitigate fund risks in conjunction with sales and delivery control.

Planning Management

MPS/MRP operation and capability plan resolves the problems of rough plan and poor execution. It optimizes the production plan, outsourcing plan and purchase plan, ensures a timely and proper production and purchase, and improves the plan execution ratio by using the throughput effectively.

The MPS/MRP can calculate based on order and work out supply/demand quantities of the enterprise based on forecast.

The user can set the parameters according to their own service logic. The operation scheme is very flexible. It can meet the requirements of different enterprises in order production, order design, order assembly and make-to-stock product.

The plan has taken many order factors, secure inventory, purchase or production period, max purchase quantity, all inventory, WIP and on-way status into account through scientific plan policies, making its demand time and quantity more accurate and with higher executable degree.

Product Development Management

Provide personalized product configuration:

• Determine configuration BOM among several product configurations, alleviating BOM maintenance workload for the engineering department.
  
  
• Choose configuration BOM according to customer requirements for product during the sales procedure and calculate demands based on configuration BOM.

Purchase Management

Provide management of prices quoted by vendors to strictly control supply prices and reduce purchase costs; make purchase plan through the plan system and purchase based on the purchase plan, strictly control supply quantities through material purchase receipt upper/lower limit to decrease inventory; strictly control vendors and supply quality through vendor estimation and purchase inspection.

Cost Management

Costing automatically collects warehouse, production and financial data and calculates cost of parts and every type of work, product and workshop to refine management and help the enterprise reduce costs.

Product Data Management

Meet product standardization, serialization and generalization requirements by multi-configuration and configuration rules, and improve working efficiency; By engineering changing control, you can keep accuracy and retrospection of engineering data, strengthen enterprise management base; integrate PDM and K/3 data, open up computer-aided design, computer-aided process and computer-aided management, realize data sharing among systems, improve system efficiency and prompt responds to customer demands.

• PDM interface integration, improve efficiency and accuracy of data maintenance.
