Project context
Nissan’s global supply chain operates under strict data transfer and CAD system requirements, mandating suppliers to adhere to rigorous standards for CAD data exchange, quality, and compliance with its digital engineering processes.
Many of its suppliers faced difficulties ensuring compatibility between their native CAD systems and Nissan's NX-based system — leading to delays and data inaccuracies. Navigating Nissan's complex digital processes also presented a significant challenge, requiring extensive training and system alignment for suppliers.
Majenta implemented a multi-faceted solution to address these challenges.
By-Pass services — Certified Data Transfer Services through Majenta's By-Pass Services ensured all supplier CAD data, irrespective of its native format, was accurately translated into NX — maintaining data integrity.
Process training programmes — covering all stages from RFQ to production, enabling suppliers to navigate Nissan's processes efficiently.
Training on digital documentation — aligning suppliers with the OEM’s exacting Paperless Model standards to eliminate paper-based documentation and meet sustainability goals.
Technical support services — delivering B2B and G2B Support to assist suppliers with Nissan’s portal systems and ensuring compliance with data distribution and tooling processes.
Our solution delivered substantial and sustainable improvements throughout Nissan’s supply chain.
By streamlining the often complex process of supplier-OEM CAD data exchange and significantly improving overall data quality, Majenta delivered tangible benefits — both to Nissan itself and its global network of suppliers.
Key outcomes included a marked reduction in costly errors and considerably shorter design lead times, allowing for a more agile and responsive product development cycle.
The comprehensive training programmes and ongoing process support Majenta provided not only enhanced individual supplier performance but also fostered smoother, more efficient collaboration across the entire supply chain, breaking down traditional communication barriers.
By expertly managing the technical integration with Nissan's complex systems, Majenta significantly reduced the overhead and system complexity burden on suppliers, freeing them to concentrate valuable resources and efforts on driving innovation and value creation — rather than wrestling with technical challenges.
Ultimately, Majenta’s solution facilitated faster project timelines and improved supplier adherence to Nissan's stringent data standards and Paperless Model requirements. The result has been a sustained enhancement of overall supply chain efficiency, performance, and responsiveness.
