Automotive and spare parts
From the warehouse feeding a production line to spare parts distribution, follow every part and every container from one place.
Use cases
And how Zagru One's ready-made automotive pack handles each of them.
Challenge: Part numbers change; when an order arrives for the old number, the new part on the shelf can be missed.
With Zagru One
Every part knows what it replaces and what replaces it. When a line is short, it can be filled from the superseding part automatically, if you choose.
Challenge: When line-side stock runs low and replenishment is late, production waits.
With Zagru One
A kanban signal becomes a line-side delivery task. If the delivery window is exceeded or the signal is large, the supervisor is told in advance.
Challenge: In just-in-time, just-in-sequence supply, a single wrong sequence can stop the line.
With Zagru One
JIT waves are picked in production sequence, and every shipment carries the sequence number it feeds. On-time delivery is tracked on a dashboard.
Challenge: Keeping track of returnable containers such as KLTs and GLTs, and settling with suppliers, takes effort.
With Zagru One
Container type and count are recorded at receiving and shipping; containers returned to suppliers are booked with a form. Containers staying too long in the network stand out.
Key modules
All on one platform, working from the same data.
Line-side locations, demand-driven replenishment, sequenced and discrete picking.
Dock appointments for supplier trucks, gate check-in and a dock board.
Orders and advance ship notices (ASN) exchanged in EDIFACT and ANSI X12.
Load planning, routing and delivery tracking for just-in-time supply.
Kanban loops, purchase orders and supplier management on the same data.
Late kanban loops and shipments in one worklist, in order of priority.
Standards and compliance
Built into the daily work, with no extra step.
EDI messages
EDIFACT ORDERS and DESADV, and ANSI X12 850, 856 and 945 are read and written.
VIN capture
The 17-character VIN is recorded at receiving with a format check.
Lot and serial traceability
Every movement of a part is tracked by lot and serial, ready for a look back.
GS1 labels
Cartons and pallets carry GS1-128 SSCC labels and are received by scanning them.
Zagru One keeps records and runs checks according to these rules; it does not replace a certificate or an official approval.
