Learn More About EDI Automotive Technology

Software can address many issues facing automotive manufacturers. Click the article below to learn more.

The ever evolving requirements of the automotive industry can be tricky to keep up with. Yet, the success of automotive production lines depends on the smooth exchange of documents through the supply chain.

EDI document exchange streamlines trading partner transactions, reducing costs and increasing efficiency. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a computer to computer exchange of documents, in a standard format, between two partners. These documents may include advanced ship notices, bills of lading, invoices or purchases orders.

This process does not involve paper or people. Thus, this means lower overhead costs, increased processing speed, fewer errors, and better partner relationships.

A Complex Supply Chain

With suppliers located around the globe, manufacturers need to be able to quickly add new suppliers regardless of the region. Also, there are a range of supplier levels that must connect to the manufacturer’s supply chain.

For instance, Tier 1 suppliers may supply large components. Next, Tier 2 suppliers typically provide components such as motors or bearing assemblies up the chain to the Tier 1 suppliers. Finally, Tier 3 suppliers contribute brackets, seals or other components to the Tier 2 suppliers.

Also, each supplier tier may be either very near or very far from the manufacturer. Often suppliers near the manufacturer provide just-in-time (JIT) inventory for the production process.

Conversely, Tier 2 or Tier 3 suppliers may be anywhere in the world. Plus, there may be raw material providers such as steel manufacturers that add another level to the supply chain.

Benefits of EDI Technology

EDI meets the challenges of the complex automotive supply chain. First, it establishes a standard communication protocol across the supplier tiers. This allows computers to understand the information sent between trading partners. Some document standards include ANSI X12, EDIFACT or OFTP.

Next, EDI improves communication speed and accuracy. This results in faster business cycles, reduced transaction errors and better partner relationships.

Plus EDI adds real-time visibility to transaction status. All this data at the ready means businesses can make faster, more informed decisions.

Finally, EDI lowers costs for suppliers by decreasing money spent on manual processes. Also, shorter order processing and delivery times let companies reduce their inventory stock.

EDI has benefitted the auto industry for over 40 years. EDI streamlines the communication process. In turn, it saves time, improves accuracy and reduces costs.
