Challenge

A Detroit based Fortune 500 Automotive components manufacturing company had recently migrated from a legacy AS400 ERP system to a cloud based ERP system. With more than 1600 product lines catering to over 100 customers, the business development team struggled to muddle through the transition, leaving millions of data sitting in the dark. To build a robust check and balance mechanism to shield the client from any impetuous contracts or agreements, by taking into account the aforementioned constraints, apart from volatility in the steel and scrap market.

Solution

Drilling through the database Vuelitics waded through data of numerous raw materials type and purchased components supplied from multiple sources. Despite the cosmic nature of the scope involved, Vuelitics incorporated a fair number of “what if” scenarios and “where used” methodologies in building the model to optimise the efficiency in the supply chain mechanism.

Results

Vuelitics’ BI Solution inferred that more than one-third of the client’s product lines were under quoted and one-fourth had profit margin better than estimated. The analytics identified that purchasing agreements and customer contracts were not robust enough for the client to sustain steel market fluctuations. Besides which, the poor surcharge mechanism was also eating up the profit margin quoted in the product cost.
