Auto Ancillary

Keep every OEM schedule, material requirement, production order, quality checkpoint and dispatch commitment connected through one manufacturing ERP built for automotive suppliers.

Your Customer Sees One Delivery. IEV Controls Everything Behind It.

Every dispatch depends on hundreds of decisions going right: the latest customer schedule must reach planning, materials must arrive before the line needs them, capacity must reflect what the plant can actually run, quality must be cleared at every stage and the right batch must reach the right customer. IEV brings the entire chain onto one manufacturing ERP, giving automotive suppliers the control to respond faster, deliver reliably and protect margin when demand changes.

PROCESS INTEGRATION

One Job Record From Enquiry to Financial Closure

The commercial team should not quote from one set of assumptions while production plans from another. Purchasing should not order material without seeing available stock and committed demand. Finance should not reconstruct job cost after dispatch using entries gathered from several departments.

IEV carries the same job through enquiry, quotation, order confirmation, BOM and routing approval, material planning, purchasing, production, inspection, subcontracting, dispatch, invoicing and final costing. Each transaction updates the processes it affects, preserving one continuous operational and financial record from the first commitment to the final margin.

When a drawing revision changes the material or routing, the impact remains connected to the job. When production consumes more material than planned, inventory and job cost reflect it. When an operation is rejected or sent for rework, progress, capacity and cost change with it. Management sees the business consequence while there is still time to respond.

AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURING WORKFLOWS

Keep Every OEM Commitment Under Control

OEM Schedule & Release Management

OEM schedules can change while material is already ordered and production is underway. When revisions are handled through email and spreadsheets, teams lose track of what changed, what remains committed and which parts now require immediate action.

IEV turns every release into current, part-wise demand and shows its effect on stock, work in progress, open production, material requirements and pending dispatches. Planners can respond to revised quantities and delivery dates without rebuilding the entire plan manually.

  • Customer, Plant, Part and Delivery-Date-Wise Schedule Capture
  • Original, Revised and Superseded Schedule Comparison
  • Release-to-Sales Order and Production Demand Conversion
  • Demand Netting Against Finished Stock, WIP and Open Orders
  • Shortfall, Excess and Rescheduling Impact Visibility
  • Schedule Compliance and Pending Dispatch Monitoring

Material Planning & Supplier Readiness

A purchase order is not the same as available material. Supplier delays, partial deliveries, inward rejections and pending subcontract work can stop production even when the planning sheet shows adequate supply.

IEV connects material requirements with current stock, purchase orders, supplier commitments, inward receipts and inspection status. Procurement and production teams can distinguish expected material from usable material and act on shortages before they affect the line.

  • Multi-Level BOM-Based Material Requirement Planning
  • Stock, Allocation, Open Purchase Order and Demand Netting
  • Supplier Schedule, Confirmation and Delivery Follow-Up
  • Advance Shipment Note, Gate Entry, Receipt and GRN Processing
  • Incoming Inspection and Accepted-Quantity Control
  • Supplier Delivery, Rejection and Lead-Time Performance Analysis

Capacity Planning & Production Execution

Automotive production plans must account for existing machine load, routing sequence, setup time, tooling, maintenance, labour and material readiness. Planning with nominal capacity creates schedules that appear achievable until the floor begins missing them.

IEV schedules production against actual operating conditions and records progress as each operation is completed. Planners can see where work is queued, where capacity remains and which delay will affect the customer commitment next.

  • Machine and Work-Centre-Wise Capacity Loading
  • Routing, Operation Sequence and Production Order Scheduling
  • Setup, Changeover and Planned Downtime Consideration
  • Material-Readiness Validation Before Work-Order Release
  • Shift-Wise Output, Rejection, Rework and Downtime Booking
  • WIP, Bottleneck and Schedule-Adherence Monitoring

Quality, PPAP & Non-Conformance Control

Automotive quality cannot depend on inspection records completed after production. Material must be checked at receipt, critical parameters must be verified during manufacturing and finished components must be cleared before dispatch.

IEV embeds inspection into the transaction flow and keeps every result tied to the relevant supplier, material batch, production order and operation. Quality teams gain a complete record for containment, investigation, corrective action and customer documentation.

  • Incoming, In-Process and Final Inspection Management
  • Part and Operation-Specific Parameters and Tolerances
  • Hold, Accept, Reject, Rework and Deviation Status Control
  • Non-Conformance and Corrective-Action Follow-Up
  • Supplier, Part and Process-Wise Rejection Analysis
  • Controlled Quality Records Supporting PPAP Documentation

Component Traceability & Dispatch Control

When an OEM raises a quality concern, teams must quickly identify the source material, production history, inspection results and every dispatch that may be affected. Reconstructing this information from separate registers delays containment and increases commercial exposure.

IEV preserves heat, batch, lot and serial identity from supplier receipt through production and final shipment. Dispatch teams can verify quantity, quality clearance, traceability and customer demand before loading, while management can monitor delivery performance against the current schedule.

  • Heat Number, Batch, Lot and Serial Number Tracking
  • Raw Material-to-Finished Component Genealogy
  • Forward and Backward Transaction Traceability
  • Quality-Cleared Finished Stock Allocation
  • Customer Schedule-Based Dispatch Planning
  • Pending Delivery, Schedule Compliance and OTIF Monitoring

INDUSTRY CAPABILITIES

Control Built for Engineering and Machining Operations

OEM Demand & Schedule Management

Convert OEM releases and schedule revisions into clear, part-wise production requirements. The system highlights exact schedule changes, previously committed stock, and how the latest OEM demand impacts your material, plant capacity, and pending dispatches. Planners can rapidly respond to changing schedules without losing control of earlier customer commitments.

Constraint-Based Production Scheduling

Build production schedules around the actual, real-time capacity your manufacturing plant can sustain. The system factors in available machines, active loads, routing, tooling, maintenance, material readiness, and subcontracting. Before accepting a sudden priority change, planners can immediately see its exact effect across the rest of the production schedule.

Automated Warehouse & Inventory Management

Integrate barcode scanning, RFID tracking, and automated put-away rules to control your entire physical warehouse operation. Track the exact location of automotive components and raw materials to completely eliminate manual picking errors and lost inventory. This strict warehouse automation speeds up material flow, reduces direct labour overheads, and guarantees accurate final dispatches to directly protect your customer sales revenue.

In-Process Quality & Defect Control

Integrate quality control directly into production rather than treating it as a separate reporting exercise. Capture incoming, in-process, and final inspection results against the exact supplier, batch, and operation. Rejections and rework remain connected to their source, ensuring rapid defect containment and generating robust quality documentation for customers.

End-to-End Component Traceability

Preserve the exact identity of heat numbers, batches, lots, and serials as material moves from the supplier gate to dispatch. The system creates an unbroken transaction history for every single component. When a customer raises a query, teams can instantly trace affected material forward or backward without checking manual registers.

Actual Component Costing & Variance

Calculate the actual financial cost behind every completed component, rather than relying on standard quoted costs. The ledger accounts for exact material consumption, scrap, rework, subcontracting, and production variances as they occur. Management can immediately identify where revenue margin is lost and correct the process before the next order.
