TS Tech USA TS Tech USA Tier 1 supplier of body on sequence seats to Honda Supporting Honda Marysville and East Liberty Plants Currently 6 active model launches Minor upgrades with ~70% carryover parts Major model changes with less that 40% carryover parts

My Role My role Responsible for continuous improvement activities involving QAD SE 2011 and EAM 2015 More then 30 years Supply Chain experience supporting ERP continuous improvement activities 2 years at TS Tech USA

The Challenges 6 Active new model launches at various stages of launch All launch activities are give a project code in QAD e.g. ZZZ – 18 Model Accord New model parts are ordered using QAD discrete PO using the customer part numbers Material is expensed at time of receipt Inventory balance is lost at time of receipt Order history and changes are difficult to track

The Solution - EAM 2015 EAM 2015 (v 12.9.0.1) – Projects and Jobs Project codes track all launch related expenses Jobs are created for each launch specific event Material can be purchased to a job for a specific event or to the project for multiple events

The Solution – EAM 2015, cont. Order history and PO change history is tracked using standard EAM functionality Carry over parts are issued from QAD to the project Customer part numbers are easy to add to EAM When design is finalized for a specific part the QAD part number is created EAM 2015 (v12.9.0.1) allows a part number to be changed and retains history

The Solution – EAM 2015, cont. Jobs – not to be confused with a work order A job is created tied to a specific project and milestone event (design level) Non inventory material can be purchased to specific job Inventory (common) material can be issued to a job All transactions are tracked in the standard EAM 2015 inventory transaction history browse Costs flow through to QAD G/L and are tied to the project
