Meet the schedule, and trace every part you ship.

Auto component makers live by the customer's delivery schedule, which changes often, and by traceability, because every part must lead back to its material lot and inspection record. Kreon has built software for businesses in this trade. It handles schedules, operation-wise routing, tool life and PPM rejection, which plain order-and-invoice software does not.

What the system has to handle

The details generic software gets wrong.

01

Schedules, not orders

Customers send rolling schedules and revise them. Planning must show the change against stock and work in progress at once.

02

Traceability both ways

From a part to its material heat, and from a heat to every invoice that used it. A complaint needs both.

03

Operation-wise control

A part passes through many operations, some outside. Quantity, rejection and inspection must be known at each one.

04

Tools wear out

Dies, fixtures and gauges have a life and a calibration date. Missing either shows up later as rejection.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Do you have software ready for auto component makers?

Kreon has built software for auto parts businesses. It covers schedules, routing, job work, quality, tool life and dispatch, and is set up around your parts, processes and customer requirements.

Can labels follow each customer's format?

Yes. Labels can carry the customer's part number, drawing revision, lot number, quantity and packing standard, in the layout that customer specifies, with a barcode or QR code.

What is PPM, and can the software report it?

PPM is parts per million rejected, the measure most vehicle makers use to rate suppliers. Rejections and customer returns are recorded part-wise, so the figure can be reported by part and customer for any period.

Which Kreon products fit auto parts?

Auto Components ERP, Plastic Manufacturing ERP, Engineering and Fabrication ERP, Loyalty and Rewards Platform. Each can be shaped to the way your business works, and they share the same records when used together.
