Meeting Automotive Industry Challenges
You struggle to meet the needs of a demanding automotive supplier market. Increasingly complex requirements from your customers make it difficult to concentrate on reducing inventory, eliminating scrap, and dealing with volatile commodity costs, all with a workforce that’s dramatically smaller than it was just a few years ago.
With the Plex Manufacturing Cloud, you leverage a built-in Manufacturing Execution System (MES) for end-to-end visibility and closed-loop control so you can improve responsiveness, drive shorter cycle times, and reduce the risk of warranty issues or recalls.
- APQP Standards – Use Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) quality documentation built to ISO/TS16949 standards and native support for the Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) standard processes.
- MMOG/LE Support – Meet stringent supply chain processes outlined in the Material Management Operations Guidelines / Logistics Evaluation (MMOG/LE).
- EDI Support – Meet F1, F2, and F3 criteria and compliance with Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) support.
- Lean Manufacturing Principles – Leverage actionable information to understand costs, optimize schedules, eliminate waste, and keep up with the increasing pace of your business.
- Real-Time Manufacturing Intelligence – Respond to increasing price pressure from customers by uncovering productivity opportunities you may not otherwise have seen.

Plex is Built for Manufacturers
Manufacturing ERP software is not all the same. Historical ERP software solutions involve painful implementation projects followed by challenging periodic updates – often forcing companies to go years without updating their ERP system. Meanwhile, these same companies lose value day after day as new features and functions elude them, only implemented with the next painful ‘big bang’ upgrade.
Modern manufacturing ERP software from Plex takes a different approach. No more waiting. No more upgrades. New features are added daily to a single line of code, shared instantly with all Plex customers. Those customers not only realize renewed value daily, but share best practices real time with other peer Plex customers, all of which have access to exactly the same features, functions and capabilities enabled by a true, single ERP software code SaaS cloud offering.
ERP software solutions should truly be just that; solutions. Manufacturers are often tempted by ERP software vendors touting strong financial, accounting, and even retail ERP software solutions and systems. None of these, however, do the one thing they need particularly well – manufacturing.
Plex is different, offering the only ERP software solution built from the ground up in the cloud and focused exclusively on manufacturing. At Plex, we know manufacturing isn’t just part of the business: manufacturing is the business. The Plex ERP software solution is purpose-built to fit your manufacturing business needs, evolving with you while adding value daily.
