Autoliv Europe Will Use Dassault Systèmes for Lean Logistics

LONG BEACH, Calif. - Sept. 24, 2014 - PRLog -- Autoliv Europe, a leader in automotive safety systems, will use DELMIA Apriso to manage and continuously improve manufacturing logistics operations across their enterprise. Now a part of Dassault Systèmes’ DELMIA brand, Apriso solutions can help Autoliv Europe to cut waste by reducing idle inventory and enhancing operational agility, as an extension to their SAP ERP.

“Autoliv Europe will implement a DELMIA Apriso solution as a standardized template to improve operations and logistics performance. One of our anticipated benefits is to ease the standardization and sharing of best-in-class processes across more than 30 locations,” explained Gilles Bridon, senior AEU IT director at Autoliv Europe. “As an enterprise solution, DELMIA Apriso can help Autoliv Europe respond faster to change through a broader integration with a next generation of mobile devices across operations.”

Implementing Apriso with ERP gives Autoliv Europe a unique combination of shop floor performance and centralized planning for a best-in-class deployment. The benefit of implementing an Apriso Logistics Execution System with ERP is that it extends the value of ERP while improving operational agility, helping Autoliv respond quickly to change.

DELMIA Apriso will help Autoliv to improve the company’s logistics capabilities by managing work flows across the entire production process, including inbound and outbound logistics and inventory management, dispatching of production, production/scraps declaration and monitoring, and reporting of production hours.
