Automotive Challenges

  • Plan changes

    Changes in models and takt alter material requirements.

  • Line-side shortages

    Stations need accurate, on-time replenishment.

  • Sequence supply

    Kits must match the production order.

  • Parts tracking

    Parts need tracking by station, batch and area.

  • Rework isolation

    Rejected parts must reach inspection or rework quickly.

  • Carrier returns

    Empty totes and racks need coordinated return flows.
