Abstract:
 Are your Sales & Operations plans out of date as soon as they are finished? The optimal solution offers collaboration and automation through a single plan which delivers an adaptive supply chain that enables automotive manufacturers to get closer to market dynamics.
Planning for the market introduction of new car models represents a common challenge across the Automotive industry. Key issues include producing new products in alignment with the earliest marketing introduction dates, balancing production and delivery costs with market-specific profit goals, maximizing retail volume to produce after-market spare or custom parts introduction, and understanding how production plans should change based on shifting consumer preferences and other types of market volatility.
Any solution to these challenges must take into account differing demands by market, car type, and category, different market introduction dates, category-specific production sequences, and the integration of predictive analytics for improved decision-making. No standard package exists that fulfils all required functionality.
Join subject matter experts from IBM to learn how this perfect-fit solution for the Automotive industry supports an optimized Sales & Operations planning process by enabling collaboration and automation through a single plan to deliver an adaptive supply chain that enables automotive manufacturers to improve operational efficiency, reduce the risk of unwanted inventory, and enhance the customer experience by the right cars to the right markets, at the right time.
