Competent solutions for the automotive industry

Companies in today’s automotive industry are confronted with enormous challenges: A wide range of products and options, increased pressure from competitors – especially on the international level, increasing complexity of product processes, decreasing product cycles, yet the same demand for high quality and extreme cost pressure. In order to be successful despite such demands, automotive companies have to prepare today’s business processes and IT architectures for tomorrow’s challenges.

msg systems is your competent partner for this task: We have been developing and implementing system solutions, which are tailored to meet the specific requirements faced by the automotive industry, for over 25 years. We make sure that solutions can easily be integrated into existing IT architectures, that systems keep up with changes and that investments are secure over the long-term.

Thanks to the depth our project experience, we are familiar with many of the central processes within the automotive industry: From product data and quality management to the integration of automotive software. Our solutions also include ordering, service parts and service processes. Our offer covers all stages of a project – from consulting to the development and implementation of innovative system solutions based on individual and standard software, as well as the operation of such solutions and the subsequent maintenance and support.

Product data management

Automobile manufacturers depend on comprehensive IT systems for development, production and sales. The support of integrated processes through consis-tent product data is a major prerequisite for shortening development times despite highly differenciated product offerings.

Quality management

The best solution for preventing quality defects is a comprehensive quality management system, which controls the processing of quality-relevant information in all areas.

Automobile software

Innovation in today’s vehicles mostly involves the interaction between networked software components, which are used inside a vehicle as well as in exchanges with the outside world. We optimise your processes in order to meet the resulting challenges.

Order processes

Today, orders can be changed until shortly before production. Consequently, this also means that order systems are faced with serious challenges.

Service part processes

The constantly increasing range of variants in automotive engineering also increases the complexity of the requirements placed on service part management. A modern posting control system supports MRP controllers in accomplishing their tasks.

Service processes

Modern service processes simultaneously combine advantages for manufacturers, dealers and customers. With our long-term experience, we support companies in the design and optimization of their service processes.

Purchasing management

Companies continuously reduce their vertical integration to increase their purchase volume. Thus, purchasing has a decisive influence in achieving company goals and has great potential for cost optimization, quality assurance and minimizing risks.

Product cost controlling

Product cost controlling is faced with enormous challenges due to the competition in the global automotive market. Product development is especially affected by such challenges, since its processes influence most of the product costs.
