Lukas:

- Full transparency with 2 main suppliers

- Currently managed via Excel files that is prone for errors

- Autover used to have a project which was now put

  - Francois: Head of operational SC
  - Valentin: Right hand of Francois
  - Julia: Project Manager

- Lead time with production: 28 days - 58 days up to 12 days for overseas, incl raw material —> max. 6 months

- Full data transparency between SG entities, nothing confidential

- Target for the supplier is between Stock Min/Max and achieve min. coverage —> no structured performance tracking in place

- Data shared
  - Source:
    - Different SAP extracts, some are updated monthly, others weekly
    - Additional manual modification needed
  - Stock targets
  - Horizon: 12 months is
  - Granularity:
  - ABC category: Why?
  - Replenishment needs?
  - Sales: Average daily demand based on 12 months history —> now changed to forecast based, offset
  - Frequency: Weekly
  - Stock coverage within lead time
  - Direct delivery to be considered —> currently not in place

- Interaction:
  - File is built on Monday by Bastogne, sent by email or Teams, sent to supplier responsible for production
  - Supplier sends production proposal back
  - Bastogne confirms production proposal: Are Stock Min respected, are demand fullfilled?
  - Bastogne placed EDI order if proposal is ok
  - If not ok, it means that production plan does not cover demand —> either send question in the mail/chat/call
    - Romania should update the production plan according to the alerts
    - Column with comments allow about issues, e.g. raw material

- Pain points:
  - Integration of the data
  - Manual updates needed
  - For suppliers: Would appreciate more frequent updates —> probably more data enhancement done

What is the frorecast Data ?? End customer forecast ? Or at central stock level

Questions:

- Why was the project stopped?

- Is Sekurit doing MTO only? —> all stock is built for orders in Romania/Estonia, in Poland there are stock buffers of FG

- Can we have interview with supplier?
