Automotive MDM | Component Engineering & Environmental Compliance

The automotive industry is characterized by constant change - be it fluctuating demand, increasing customer needs or advances in technology. Being a long life-cycle product automotive components require a multi-year life cycle management program for which it is critical to develop and maintain an efficient after-market supply system.

However, the flow of information from manufacturers to the after-market space through multiple channels is a process that needs streamlining and standardization to ensure efficiency and improved customer satisfaction.

Another challenge the industry faces is to manage several years of historic data on each product and component that is critical to support customers throughout the product lifecycle and meet its legal and environmental regulations. Organizational changes during these years may result in data eroding to multiple systems, locations or even geographies in multiple formats.

Improving operational efficiency and leveraging data repositories to serve as an intelligent decision support tool becomes difficult without addressing data quality issues.

The Automotive industry has several global environmental initiatives in place. The GADSL (Global Automotive Declarable Substance List) and systems like IMDS (International Material Data System) make data management and reporting in the automotive industry a comprehensive and complex process that flows across various links in the supply chain.

Enventure's Enterprise Content Management services manage product data, inventory data, CAD data, after-market data and compliance data (REACH, GADSL) for the Automotive industry.

Enventure facilitates automotive component manufacturers to save precious time, resources, and money by integrating their purchase database across locations and getting it in synchronization with accepted industry standards to improve internal content, manage data efficiently and streamline operations.
