Traceability, EDI to OEMs and Tier 1s, release schedules, and shop-floor scheduling on one ERP.
Parts suppliers live by their customers’ releases: weekly and daily schedules by EDI, ASNs on every shipment, returnable containers, and traceability that reaches from a heat lot to a part number on a vehicle. Margins are thin and the penalties for a missed ship are not. NetSuite, configured by Consule with EDI, lot and serial control, and FactorySync scheduling, turns the customer’s release into a production plan the floor can run.
Releases in, ASNs out. EDI schedules from OEMs and Tier 1s create demand in NetSuite; shipments generate ASNs with container and dunnage data, and invoices follow automatically.
Traceability from heat lot to part. Lot and serial control through routed operations, so any shipped part traces back to material lots and forward to the customer.
Finite scheduling on real capacity. FactorySync sequences work orders across presses, cells, and lines against capacity and changeover, and shows where a release cannot be met before the customer finds out.
Quality records in the system. Inspection results, nonconformance, and corrective actions linked to lots, serials, and work orders.
Program profitability. Tooling, piece price, and actual cost by part number and program, so quotes are made on numbers that survive contact with the floor.
Customer schedules drive production and shipping, with shortfalls visible days ahead.
EDI documents generated from shipments, with container and dunnage data, so chargebacks fall.
A heat lot or a part serial traced in minutes for a quality escape or a customer request.
Real cost per part by program, so the next quote is made with the last program’s numbers.
