The typical requirements of an automotive company include Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), integration with customers and vendors natively into the system, and support of incoming and outgoing EDI messages. They also require production scheduling that is always available, and the ability to plan with limited resources such as work center, tooling, and available employees. Inventory management with detailed tracking capabilities such as lot and serial number management is typically required. Other requirements include production management with real-time progress reporting, dashboards for production status, and quality management that is integrated with purchasing, production, shipping, and ISO capability. Shipping and packing planning, scanning, and labeling capabilities are also typically required.
