挑战
Nexteer Automotive, a leading Tier 1 supplier in the automotive industry, was using a technology provider to manage their database of suppliers, record product defects, and track their resolution. However, this system was a source of frustration due to its inflexibility and the time-consuming process required for even minor configurations. As their contract renewal date approached, Nexteer began to look for an alternative software solution that would be more time and cost-effective, scalable, and capable of handling their structure, and would provide them with the reporting capabilities they required.
关于客户
Nexteer Automotive has been serving the automotive industry for more than 100 years. As a leading Tier 1 supplier, Nexteer provides advanced steering and driveline technology to companies such as GM, Ford, Chrysler, and Toyota. Nexteer is headquartered in Saginaw, Michigan, and employs more than 10,000 people worldwide, with 20 plants in seven countries across five continents.
解决方案
After extensively reviewing the other software on the market, Nexteer chose Intelex’s Supplier Management solution. The ease of administering and configuring the system was a big selling point, and Nexteer was confident that Intelex’s robust, scalable platform was up to the task of managing data from an estimated 1,400 suppliers worldwide. Nexteer’s implementation timeline was tight because their previous system was near its renewal date. The process of gathering requirements began in September of 2012, with the team working diligently to streamline the approvals process to ensure they could meet their go live date. On January 1, 2013, the new Intelex supplier management solution was rolled out simultaneously to 20 plants across seven countries: India, China, Australia, Mexico, the United States, Brazil, and Poland.

Mercedes-Benz and his partner GAZ chose Siemens to be its maintenance partner at a new engine plant in Yaroslavl, Russia. The new plant offers a capacity to manufacture diesel engines for the Russian market, for locally produced Sprinter Classic. In addition to engines for the local market, the Yaroslavl plant will also produce spare parts. Mercedes-Benz Russia and his partner needed a service partner in order to ensure the operation of these lines in a maintenance partnership arrangement. The challenges included coordinating the entire maintenance management operation, in particular inspections, corrective and predictive maintenance activities, and the optimizing spare parts management. Siemens developed a customized maintenance solution that includes all electronic and mechanical maintenance activities (Integral Plant Maintenance).
