Maintaining compliance as an automotive supplier is not only critical to your business but also can make or break profit margins. Your current methodology and processes may satisfy compliance requirements yet do little to improve the business, customer satisfaction, or quality. What you need is a solution that is inherently error-proof. One that helps your operations ship the right products, at the right time, in the right quantities to keep your customers happy. That’s where Plex’s proven Toyota Shipping Confirmation System (SCS) integration comes in.

Automate Shipping Confirmation

Developed to meet Toyota Visualization Project requirements, SCS integration provides error-proofing to staging and shipping activity. It meets compliance with required validation and automatic notification to Toyota in advance when orders are ready or if there is a deviation from the plan. It confirms that the right products, in the correct quantities, and in the correct palletization are in transit.

Traceability

SCS provides traceability from Toyota Kanban to finished goods and back to raw materials. In the case of a defect, these historical records associate Kanban labels to container labels to identify the exact impact on quality. If a quality spill happens, determining the potential impact can be reduced to days or even hours, as opposed to weeks or longer.

Optimized Resources

The built-in system validation makes it less likely for suppliers to over-, under-, or mis-ship a product. It even prevents a shipment if the required confirmation is not received from the automaker. Manual mistakes are nearly eliminated, necessary resources are reduced, and the bottom line becomes positive.

Shipping Validation and Compliance Made Easy
