OEM JIT just-in-time supply, IATF 16949 compliance, PPAP / 8D workflows, key-characteristic CPK monitoring, and full-operation SN traceability — the 5 rigid requirements of auto-parts factories, all solved by one SBK MES, already serving multiple Tier 1 / Tier 2 suppliers.
OEMs' increasingly stringent requirements are hard to keep stable by hand
OEM rolling orders + a 2-hour delivery window, where missing one order may mean fines + a red line → APS back-schedules to the minute, with material-readiness checks at the operation level
Customer audits demand system documents, records and traceability reports, which take time to prepare by hand → MES auto-archives them, exportable on audit day
Key characteristics require CPK ≥1.67, which manual SPC easily misses → data auto-collected + Nelson's 8 anomalies auto-detected
Customer recall drills require an impact list within 60 minutes → full-operation SN traceability, querying batches in seconds
New-project PPAP / exception 8D workflows are cumbersome → standard templates + auto-filled data save 70% of the time
OEMs require PPM <50, and exceeding it may halt the line → full-operation quality data collection + real-time trend alerts
EDI order line-feed windows
An OEM's EDI order may arrive just 2 hours ahead, requiring delivery to the line within 2 hours. SBK MES chains EDI order → APS incremental reschedule → work-order adjustment → shipping schedule → logistics notification → driver app into one automated data flow.
Trace-chain locating progress
OEMs run recall drills every year: given a random SN, you must produce an impact list within 60 minutes (all SNs in the same batch, material batches, equipment, operators). SBK MES designs the traceability database for second-level queries — 60 minutes is more than enough.
13 of 18 auto-filled · 72% complete
New-product PPAP submissions and exception 8D reports draw data from BOM, process, SPC, inspection, equipment and more. MES auto-compiles this data into standard PPAP / 8D templates, leaving engineers to fill only the supplementary fields — a 3× efficiency gain.
Multi-operation stamping + welding + painting, strongly traceable down to a single screw, with each piece bound to an SN
Multi-cavity molds + mold-temperature / pressure SPC monitoring + automatic appearance inspection
Serial multi-operation + electrical testing + label SN binding + JIT line-side delivery
High-density SMT + AOI + ICT + burn-in + full-unit functional testing, fully traceable
These MES modules together form the auto-parts solution
