Supplier RelationshipManagement
Our automotive Supplier Relationship Management platform, built on Salesforce, supports OEMs to improve and streamline engagement with their design and engineering suppliers.
The supplier relationship management system promotes efficient collaboration, engineering strategy alignment, and toolset governance, positioning our clients as leaders in innovation within the automotive sector.
Solution Overview
With over 60% of a vehicle being engineered by suppliers, the primary challenge within the OEM's extended enterprise is a lack of standardised tools and processes, leading to the underutilisation of existing PLM tools. This shortfall significantly hampers effective collaboration between the OEM and its suppliers during the engineering product creation process, causing inefficiencies and potential delays in development.
To address these challenges Majenta has developed a comprehensive SRM solution built on the Salesforce platform, supported by an expert Supplier Integration Team — instrumental in aligning suppliers with the OEM's overarching engineering strategy. Our solution comprises three main pillars:
Engineering Readiness
Majenta’s supplier relationship management software ensures that suppliers are in sync with OEMs’ engineering strategies, effectively preparing them for imminent vehicle programme gateways. It encompasses the alignment of engineering toolsets, embracing the PLM strategy, and developing proficiency in OEM-specific methodologies.
Onboarding to OEM Toolsets
The onboarding process is crucial to equipping suppliers with the necessary toolsets, standards, and methodologies to align effectively with the OEM's PLM strategy. This process includes familiarising suppliers with key applications such as APQP, RMDV, D3M, and various CAD tools.
Toolset Governance
Governance involves rigorous oversight of supplier compliance with the specified tools and adherence to the OEM's PLM strategy. This process encompasses the management and correct utilisation of specific tools, standards, and methods, ensuring consistency and reliability across the supplier network.
What to expect
Our SRM portal facilitates seamless collaboration between OEMs and suppliers, enabling faster decision-making, reduced communication barriers, and improved efficiency throughout the product development process.
By aligning suppliers with the OEM's engineering strategy, our solution ensures that all stakeholders are working towards common goals, reducing the risk of delays and improving overall product quality.
