Beas Manufacturing for Automotive Component Suppliers

Ship to the OEM schedule, with the traceability to prove it.

Tier-2 and Tier-3 suppliers live between two pressures: OEM schedules that change every week, and audits that expect every part traced to its steel heat. SAP Business One runs your orders, stock and invoicing. Beas adds the plant layer: APS schedules built on real resource capacity, quality control with inspection plans, and times, quantities and scrap reported at a terminal instead of in a register.

Challenges and Answers

Three challenges every auto supplier knows

These are the three that decide whether you keep the OEM's business. For each: what it looks like on the floor today, how Beas addresses it step by step, and the number that tells you it is working.
  1. Challenge 01 · Quality and audits

    Traceability the OEM demands

    On the floor today

    The steel heat number is on the mill test certificate. Once bars are cut, turned and heat-treated, the link lives in registers and the memory of the stores in-charge.

    When an OEM raises a field complaint, the quality team spends a day or more working out which heat went into which lot and which dispatch. Customer audits find the gaps.

    How Beas addresses it

    1. Raw material is received in SAP B1 with the heat number recorded as its batch.
    2. Material issued to Beas work orders and assemblies received from them post as SAP B1 inventory transactions against their batch numbers; Beas can check each new batch number for uniqueness.
    3. QC-inspection plans on the item and on routing operations create QC orders at purchase goods receipt, during production and at assembly receipt; goods wait in a QC warehouse until released, with four-eyes principle and electronic signature if required. Quality control
    4. Beas links every transaction on a batch or serial number to it, including quality and production documents, and its batches and serial numbers tracking report retrieves them. SAP Business One's Forward and Reverse Batches and Serials Trace Report adds the trace to customers and suppliers. With Produmex WMS, picking for production runs through the warehouse.

    What you measure

    Trace time

    From complaint to the list of affected lots and dispatches: minutes, not days.

    Rejection PPM

    Rejected parts per million, by part and by machine.

  2. Challenge 02 · Delivery and planning

    Dates promised against real machine, tool and labour limits

    On the floor today

    OEM schedules change every week. The planner rebuilds an Excel plan each morning, while fixtures and tools are shared across machines and operators move between shifts.

    Sales promises the standard lead time regardless of load. The gap shows up as Sunday overtime, express freight and line-stoppage debits from the OEM.

    How Beas addresses it

    1. Routing positions hold the resource, Setup time and Mach+Labor Time/unit for every operation of every part number. Production planning
    2. Critical CNCs, presses and moulding machines have “Consider resource limits” switched on, so APS does not dispatch them above 100% of their shift schedule (Beas APS licence).
    3. Alternative resources are defined on each routing position with their own times, and automatic optimisation lets APS select a more adequate one (APS licence). Automatic optimisation
    4. Capacity changes are entered as resource calendar exceptions with a reason, maintenance plans come from the Maintenance module (BEAS_MTC), and tool requirements are entered on the routing in Tool Administration. Resource calendar and maintenance

    What you measure

    OTIF to OEM

    Deliveries on time and in full against OEM schedule lines.

    OEE by machine

    Availability, performance and quality, worked out from the times and quantities reported at terminals.

  3. Challenge 03 · Shop floor

    Shop-floor status still on paper

    On the floor today

    Job cards and production registers are filled in at the end of the shift and typed into the system the next day, if at all.

    Rejections are under-reported, OEE is an estimate, and nobody knows a part's real cost until the month is closed.

    How Beas addresses it

    1. Operators log on at a terminal next to the machine with their personnel card number and report start, interruption and completion of each operation. Factory data capture
    2. Finished goods and scrap quantities are reported as they happen (Terminal Production Data Collection licence).
    3. Supervisors see the status of every work order and resource, including delays and material shortages, in the Production Cockpit (Beas 2025.06+). Production Cockpit
    4. Post-calculation per work order compares accrued with planned cost, marginal and full, so actual cost per part number is known. Post-calculation

    What you measure

    Margin per part number

    Actual cost per work order against the OEM price, part by part.

    Data-entry hours saved

    Registers and next-day typing removed from every shift.

How It Runs

From OEM schedule to traced dispatch

  1. Schedule received

    OEM schedule lines are held as sales orders in SAP Business One.

  2. Material planned

    The MRP Wizard turns schedule lines, forecasts and stock into production and purchase recommendations.

  3. Machines loaded

    Beas APS dispatches work order operations to CNCs and presses within their resource limits.

  4. Floor reports

    Operators report operations, quantities and scrap at terminals; QC orders record inspection results.

  5. Released dispatch

    Batches released from the QC warehouse are delivered, and the batch tracking reports link them back to the heat number.

What Management Sees

Four numbers an auto supplier runs on

  • OTIF to OEM

    On-time, in-full deliveries against schedule lines, by customer and part number.

    Sales orders + deliveries

  • OEE by machine

    Availability, performance and quality per machine and shift, from terminal reports.

    Terminal reports

  • Rejection PPM

    Rejections per million by part and machine, from scrap reports and QC orders.

    Scrap reports + QC orders

  • Margin per part

    Actual cost per work order against the OEM price, from post-calculation.

Straight talk
  • EDI call-offs: direct EDI with OEM portals is not something we promise out of the box. Schedule lines are held in SAP Business One; integration with a specific OEM's portal is assessed case by case.
  • Licensing: resource limits, calculation types and automatic optimisation need the Beas APS licence, and the Gantt chart the APS Gantt Viewer licence. Terminals need the Terminal Production Data Collection and, for QC, Terminal Quality Control licences; maintenance plans need the Maintenance licence. We confirm licensing with you before the demo.
  • Traceability: batch tracing combines the Beas batches and serial numbers tracking report with the standard SAP Business One trace report. We show both on your parts in the demo database.
  • IATF 16949: Beas QC orders, release with four-eyes principle and electronic signature, and terminal reports give auditors system records. Certification remains your quality system's responsibility.
