Inventory & Warehouse (WMS) for Automotive
In automotive, OEM supply discipline, on-time delivery and full traceability require functions to keep each part’s history and quality record complete. Full control over every inventory process from raw-material receipt to shipment. Bin-location management, warehouse receipts, batch-lot and serial-number tracking, reservation and packing — fully integrated with production, purchasing and sales.
Automotive context
Why Inventory & Warehouse (WMS) works differently in Automotive
In Automotive, automotive value chain center on sector-specific concepts such as OEM supply discipline, part number, PPAP/quality document. In automotive, OEM supply discipline, on-time delivery and full traceability require functions to keep each part’s history and quality record complete.
Qera ERP's Inventory & Warehouse (WMS) module is set up around the reality of automotive: Tracks stock by part number, series and batch so the right part goes to the right order.
- When OEM customers' on-time-delivery and quality expectations are strict, planning errors create contract risk.
- When spare-part diversity (reference/OE code, aftermarket) can't be managed, stock and sales tracking gets tangled.
- Without part and serial/lot traceability, you can't find the root cause in a quality issue or recall.
