Repetitive Manufacturers in the Automotive Parts Supplier Industry
AIM Computer Solutions is a Microsoft ISV and Gold-Certified Partner, specializing in serving customers in the production part automotive suppliers business over the past twenty years. AIM focuses on repetitive manufacturers that make up the automotive supplier niche market.
These manufacturers fabricate steel, plastic, rubber and other primary materials into parts, components, and small assemblies. Repetitive manufacturers usually service the transportation, appliance, consumer electronics and other demanding, high volume industries.
AIM’s manufacturing offering,

Many unique automotive requirements are included as a standard part of
the AIM Vision solution: reconciliation of multiple EDI requirements to a
standard requirement format; demand scheduling verses workorders for production
scheduling; standard packs rounding; mixed, barcoded serial and master labels;
backflushing; spot buys; cum reporting; outside processing /material control;
multiple lot control combinations including special handling of split lots at
outside processors and merged lots on return; returnable containers; retro
billing; “redo” capabilities for ASN shipments; a combined bill of material and
bill of process, plus compliance with the MMOG/LE / TS16949 materials management
operations guidelines audit.
