SAS interior modules specializes in the assembly, logistics and development of modules for motor vehicles

Pain

Operations and Finance Departments spoke a different language leading to mismatched expectations and commitments.

Problem statement

Unable to demonstrate alignment of OpEx/CI activity and contribution to overall cost reduction and other targets to improve (TTI).

Root cause

No clear linkage between budget target, project activity, ownership and performance to target.

Software evaluation

SAS had embedded their method and now needed a solution to enable the method, outgrowing spreadsheets and MS SharePoint.

i-nexus was evaluated against several CI software vendors and was selected based on the conclusion that i-nexus offered best-in-class functionality.

“It was like our Operations team was from Venus and our Finance Department from Mars. We simply didn’t have a common language to frame CI activities in financial terms.”
Freddy Torres, Operational Excellence System Director, SAS Autosystemtechnik Verwaltung GmbH
