Auto Ancillary Samadhan
Auto Ancillary Samadhan – Micro Vertical on Microsoft Dynamics Nav delivers automotive industry manufacturing solutions that enable automotive suppliers to adopt flexible, changeable business processes with high ROI and easy access to actionable information for decision making and KPIs.

The industry challenges and imperatives
Customers of automotive manufacturers demand:

• Year-over-year cost reductions (by some automakers) by 5% or more

• Complete transparency into manufacturing operations—inventory, availability and/or shop floor status

• Precise and specific timing of production and deliveries (often within a four- hour window)

• Reduction of product lead times (often given an order to deliver within a 24 hours)

• Faster product development cycles (new automobiles moving from 48 months to 24 from drawing to showroom)

• Shorter product life cycles (vehicles that used to last decades now last a few years)

• That suppliers follow the speed and timeliness lead of OEMs, who are the strategic pacemakers of the industry
  
  Challenges in Operations

• Manufacturers are pressured to adopt lean manufacturing best practices, but struggle to justify the resource and financial investment that accompanies such initiatives

• Rising regulatory pressure

• Increased expectations of automakers are causing productivity and quality to become less of a differentiator

• Enormous cost pressures from competition

• Significant cost pressures from rising raw material costs, energy costs, and reducing industry profits

• Increasing warranty requirements

• Legacy information systems often do not support new business practices (e.g., lean manufacturing, collaborative Product Development and Supply Chain Management) or differentiate business processes that often form the basis for small and mid‐sized companies’ competitive strategy

• Systems are often department-based, not company based—manufacturers across all industry segments struggle to integrate disparate product, manufacturing, procurement, sales, and customer systems, which impedes their ability to capture a unified view of company performance.

• Real-time cost controls become a strategic imperative to remain competitive

• Operational productivity challenges—even the smallest plant floor inefficiencies can translate into significant losses for global manufacturers; gaining visibility into plant floor operations represents a critical step to bring products to market on time and on budget.
  
  Key business imperatives
  Improving business operations:

• Adopt lean, flexible operational networks that provide a view into your operations for customers and suppliers to improve customer satisfaction and support rapid decision making.

• Provide customized products and services that differentiate your offerings while holding the line on profit margins

• Consciously adopt an IT architecture and strategy that provides a cohesive, low-cost foundation for all your business needs, minimizes integration costs, provides real-time access to actionable business information for employees, customers and suppliers and provides flexibility for future changes in business processes
