MMOG/LE Drives Bottom-Line Results
Thousands of automotive suppliers around the world have used the MMOG/LE assessment to improve materials management operations and logistics, some reducing inventory as much as 50 percent. Better delivery rating scores and savings on premium freight, obsolescence and administration are just a few of the other gains reported. Companies who are suppliers to Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, Renault, PSA, Volvo Car, and Volvo Truck are required to use MMOG/LE to assess their operations and submit their score to these OEMs.
MMOG/LE best practices guide manufacturers in assessing, improving and benchmarking materials management and logistics processes. During the assessment process, manufacturers will uncover critical areas where automation and systems can significantly increase plant efficiency and streamline processes. MMOG/LE ensures information flow follows material flow.
Many automotive suppliers are required or mandated to complete the MMOG/LE assessment by their customers. But many other manufacturers are taking advantage of the MMOG/LE simply because it is an extremely effective tool for identifying weaknesses in plant operations, establishing plans to improve, and as a global core model for operational excellence across the enterprise.
Competitive Advantage in the Global Marketplace
Emerging market suppliers in regions such as Brazil, Central and Eastern Europe, China and India are using the MMOG/LE as a tool to develop their facilities into world-class operations that can serve OEMs globally. A more recent trend for many mature market multinational suppliers is to use the MMOG/LE as a tool to establish the corporate guideline or standard for which plant materials management and logistics functions will operate globally. In this case, MMOG/LE becomes the "corporate playbook" for measuring and maximizing plant operational performance.
Not Just for Automotive Suppliers
While the MMOG/LE was developed by the automotive industry, AIAG and Odette report growing interest in and use of MMOG/LE in hospitals, construction, aerospace, chemistry, electronics, industrial and retail. QAD believes it can be used as a benchmarking and development tool for manufacturers across many industries.
