Understanding Automotive EDI: Automating and Integrating EDI for Increased Efficiency and Improved Delivery Performance
Do you like this story?
The average automotive assembly plant makes about 1 vehicle per minute and as many as 2000 per day. Each vehicle has 5,000 to 7,000 components which means that the typical automotive assembly plant is handling up to 14 million parts each day. With this level of volume, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), which is the method to communicate business transactions in the automotive industry, is not just a “nice- to-have” technology, but it has become imperative to doing business within the industry.
If you supply products to the automotive industry supply chain, then you are already familiar with the rigorous EDI requirements. These requirements have been around for decades, but are they helping your business to operate more efficiently or are they more of a burden, or even a risk to your business? Automating and integrating EDI with your ERP solution not only eliminates waste and reduces errors associated with manually keying data, but it also improves delivery performance to your customer.
