Manufacturing in SequenceAutomotive Sequencing 101: Manufacturing in Sequence Manufacturing in sequence is the process of assembling parts in a sequenced order as defined by an OEM. The benefit of this process is its ability to reduce the number of incorrect assemblies produced, which in turn, saves time and minimizes the amount of material wasted. What parts are […]
Automotive Sequencing Part Rack LoadingAutomotive Sequencing 101: Part Rack Loading An OEM that requires suppliers to provide parts in sequence assemble vehicles in a specific predetermined order. The supplier sending components to the OEM must guarantee that their parts arrive at the assembly line in the order they will be used. The process of rack loading ensures that parts […]
Why is parts sequencing important to automotive manufacturing?Automotive Sequencing 101: Why is parts sequencing important? Parts sequencing is a critical process in modern automotive manufacturing. While there are numerous reasons sequencing has become a standard practice for most automotive OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) and their suppliers, it can be broken down into two main categories: lean manufacturing and part traceability. Lean Manufacturing […]
Automotive OEM Part DemandAutomotive Sequencing 101: OEM Part Demand Each automotive OEM has their own standards for providing part demand to their suppliers. However, there are similarities throughout the industry. These are primarily in how part demand is sent and the format, both of which significantly impact part sequencing and manufacturing. [/ms_column] Communicating Part Demand Automotive OEMs generally […]
What is Automotive Parts Sequencing?Automotive Sequencing 101: What is Automotive Parts Sequencing? Automotive parts sequencing is a process where a supplier delivers parts to an OEM assembly plant in an exact order as required by the OEM. This process can also be referred to as in line vehicle sequencing(ILVS), sequential parts delivery(SPD), or just in sequence(JIS). It is a […]
