Initial situation
Magna Heavy Stamping is part of Magna International and is one of the leading manufacturers of heavy-duty stamped and formed parts for the automotive industry. The company supplies international vehicle manufacturers with safety-critical components and operates under stringent production requirements. Until now, transportation and supply planning was primarily done manually, which led to high coordination efforts and uncertainties as complexity increased. A modern, integrated planning framework became necessary.
Our shared path to success
In collaboration with S2data, the planning process was realigned. Workflows were structured more clearly, and daily scheduling gained a more stable overview of relevant requirements and priorities. Decisions could be made more consistently, and the operational management team experienced a noticeable reduction in workload.
