Russia

Automotive trade barriers in Russia

Lars LANGENIUS, Program Director Russian Industrial Program, AB Volvo

Russia is a large volatile automotive market close to central Europe. The declining oil price, the falling Rouble and the international sanctions are all having a negative effect on the Russian market.

To attract truck and car manufacturers to invest in Russia, the Automotive Policy has been created. This policy is providing incentives to foreign investors and local manufacturers, providing that they can meet the local content requirements. Since 2007, Volvo has invested in an industrial program in Russia with the aim to be more competitive in that market.

The director of this program, Lars Langenius, will share his experience to help us to gain a deeper understanding of the market situation in Russia and the trade barriers that automotive companies must overcome.

Logistics challenges in Russia

Kirill VLASOV, CEO, STS Logistics Russia

Based on the extensive experience of STS in automotive logistics in Russia, this session will be devoted to the peculiarities of the logistics business in this country. Topics explored include the specifics of customs clearance when importing to the Russian Federation, the storage and handling of goods for the automotive sector (a large amount of SKU, selection of the WMS system, the combination of different categories of goods upon delivery), and the distinctive features of the transportation of vehicles taking into account the long distances in Russia.

Optimising product data management with EDI Global EDI standards help VW prepare for the future

Doris SCHWERDT, EDI Coordination Brand Logistics, Audi

Karin LEHNIGER, Project Manager EDI-Standardization, Group IT, Volkswagen

In terms of ICT, the late 1970’s were a very different world, we had telephones with dials and maybe a Commodore Pet. Yet in the German automotive industry we continue to use EDI messages that are 40 years old to control modern production sites worldwide.

Today suppliers deliver Just in Time and Just in Sequence, with new logistics concepts and CKD amounts. These different processes result in many variants of supply that are beyond the capabilities of the original VDA message standards and require higher support efforts.

Since 2010 the VDA Communication and IT workgroup has been creating standards for the German automotive industry based on the Global Automotive EDIFACT messages, originally developed under the auspices of the Joint Automotive Industry Forum. Doris Schwerdt and Karin Lehniger will present the VW implementation plan for these new standards and, equally importantly, the deactivation deadlines for the VDA standards they are replacing.

Implementing EDI in Turkey

Beysun DURU, Supervisor, Supplier Management & Development, Ford Otosan

Alongside her supply chain management role in Ford, Beysun Duru is also the President of the Supply Chain Committee of OSD (the Odette National Organisation in Turkey). These two positions provide Beysun with a unique insight into the specific challenges of implementing EDI with the supply base in Turkey.

Choosing between classic EDI and WebEDI solutions and selecting the appropriate service providers are just some of the challenges in building a communications infrastructure that can achieve efficient order management, optimise production planning and ensure on-time delivery.

Overcoming legal obstacles to the free flow of goods

Breaking through global trade barriers

Gilles THOLLOT, International Supply Chain Expert, PSA Peugeot Citroën

Opening up new frontiers is a major part of the PSA strategic plan ‘BACK IN THE RACE’, leading to studies of industrial implantations in regions such as Africa and the Middle East, built up or knockdown kits for new destinations, crossflows of parts between regions, etc..

In each case, customs and other trading rules and regulations are a major input in the decision.

Gilles Thollot will show how interaction with the Supply Chain is taken into account as a key success factor in the design and implementation of specific solutions to the problems of trade barrier management.

The new Union Customs Code and its impact on automotive logistics

Vidar GUNDERSEN, CEO, KGH Customs Services

The new Union Customs Code (UCC), which comes into force on 1st May 2016, is part of the modernisation of customs and will serve as the new framework Regulation on the rules and procedures for customs throughout the EU. It is claimed that the UCC and the related delegated and implementing acts will:

streamline customs legislation and procedures offer greater legal certainty and uniformity to businesses increase clarity for customs officials throughout the EU simplify customs rules and procedures and facilitate more efficient customs transactions in line with modern-day needs complete the shift by Customs to a paperless and fully electronic environment reinforce swifter customs procedures for compliant and trustworthy economic operators (Authorised Economic Operators)

Vidar Gundersen’s presentation will cover the:

Industry 4.0 demystified

SMART FACE – Industry 4.0 in Car Manufacturing: Towards a new paradigm for production and logistics

Lars GEHRKE, PhD Candidate, Volkswagen

Dr. Christian SCHWEDE, Head of Department, Fraunhofer IML

Flexibility is the paradigm to deal with individual customer needs in turbulent global markets. Up to now, however, the reality of car production is based on extensive program planning processes and highly efficient yet inflexible assembly lines. Whilst this situation may be an excellent choice for constant high volume production in a stable seller’s market, it may not be ideal for new products – such as electric vehicles – in rapidly changing, unstable environments.

On this theme, we show the interim results of the applied research project SMART FACE which follows a praxis-orientated approach towards the development of novel concepts for automotive production and logistics of the future. Decentralized, autonomous organisation structures based on cyber-physical systems and IoT technology stand at the core of the project.

This session explores:

The motivation behind researching towards new paradigms for production and logistics Insights into a completely new robust type of car production based on industry 4.0 concepts New lean program planning approaches Ideas propagating a highly flexible order-to-delivery process

Why Industry 4.0 doesn’t mean Security 4.0: Cybercrime from an attacker’s perspective

Lüder SACHSE, Managing Partner, Code White

The attractiveness of cybercrime is higher than ever. On the other hand, Industry 4.0 gives us the chance to solve legacy IT security problems but this will only be successful when we are able to understand the situation from the perspective of the attacker.

Understand why IT systems are vulnerable to attacks How does an attacker think? What has to be done to protect against attacks?

Training and retaining skills and expertise in EDI and automotive logistics

Jean-Luc FAYE, IS Functional Manager, B2B & EDI Expert, Michelin

Carolin QUASS, International Human Resources Development, ZF Group

Udo THIENELT, Information Competence Centre Manager, HELLA Germany

Sandra TRANSCHEL, Associate Professor of Supply Chain & Operations Mgmt, Kuehne Logistics University (KLU)

Paul URSUT, EDI Coordinator, Hella Corporate Center Romania

Lucian VLADUT, EDI Competence Field Leader, Hella Romania

Many companies are facing a challenge to have sufficient expertise to maintain and develop their business critical B2B and logistics systems. The reasons for this include:

The retirement of many experts from the generation that originally developed EDI EDI and specialised automotive logistics not being targeted in academic education EDI usage spreading into new areas, including the widening of supplier networks Globalisation resulting in IT centres being established in emerging (best cost) countries

The ability to set-up and run new business units has therefore become a real issue in many companies and new ways of achieving future-proof solutions must be invented.

In this session you will learn how leading industry companies have tackled the problem. There is no one single solution and strategies presented will include:

Renewing internal processes for sourcing and introducing new staff Attracting qualified people in best cost countries Building up of internal training programmes Developing partnerships with universities Supporting new suppliers in building up their EDI relationships

Innovative Logistics Concepts

The challenge of supply chain transformation for a major vehicle manufacturer

Gilles SEXTON, CORAIL Project Director, PSA Peugeot Citroën

Pierre GABAUD, Supply Chain Expert, PSA Peugeot Citroen

Vehicle manufacturer logistics has evolved significantly in recent years and the setup of a complete supply chain reveals real opportunities that combine improved customer service levels with increased profitability. In this context, PSA PEUGEOT CITROEN has launched a major transformation program of their upstream logistics and associated information systems.

This program, known as CORAIL, involves developing a global supply chain, applying lean methods, generalizing JIT and JIS delivery concepts and taking into account new logistic schemes, especially international flows. Now in its operational phase, four PSA plants have, so far, benefited from CORAIL which offers them a real opportunity to make a step change in supply chain processes, essential to achieve the best level of performance.

Gilles Sexton and Pierre Gabaud will explain how PSA faced up to the challenges:

How to make a success of a project which requires the transformation of both physical logistics and IT systems? Which transformations for which benefits? The ODETTE recommendations: a hindrance or a performance lever? How to engage partners to ensure success?

New logistics concept at Brose Group

Claudia VOGEL-DANIEL, Head of Logistics SV plants, Brose Group

Real time management of vehicle orders in co-ordination with material availability

Andreas GRAFFE, Director Supply Chain Order Fulfilment/Europe, Opel/Vauxhall

To achieve a stable production program and also control the value chain at best cost it is necessary to address the conflict between handling customer orders in a flexible manner while managing a global supplier footprint in line with Total Enterprise Cost principles. Andreas Graffe will explain how this is being done at Opel/Vauxhall through:

An understanding of the current and traditional planning cycles in a production planning process Identification of the conflicting factors Use of a program concept to implement an integrated and synchronized production planning approach

Innovative Logistics Concepts

Supplier capacity planning in the Renault-Nissan Alliance

Didier CANALS, Pilot of Renault-Nissan DCP Project, RENAULT Corporate Supply Chain

Common platforms within Renault-Nissan Alliance require a common management of parts supplier capacities. The Alliance decided to review best practice and build a common solution in order to have a centralized demand/capacity repository with consolidation of all Renault and Nissan capacity requirements.

Following an internal benchmarking exercise, it was decided to use an improved version of the existing Renault tool: DCP@Renault (based on the Odette Demand Capacity Planning Recommendation first published in 2004). The project required the convergence of Business Processes (DATA and ORGANIZATIONS) and provided the opportunity to improve the current functions whilst rolling out the process to all Renault-Nissan suppliers.

This session will allow delegates to:

Learn about a real solution to the strategic problem of parts supplier capacities See an example of efficient convergence between two major automotive manufacturers Have the opportunity to enrol as early adopters of the new version

“Vorsprung durch Logistik” - new logistics concepts at Audi Neckarsulm

Thomas HEPTNER, Head of Plant Strategy, Audi Neckarsulm

The Audi plant in Neckarsulm is characterized by high complexity. Different models are produced in different volumes with changing shift patterns and an overall increasing output within the constraints imposed by a brownfield site.

In order to control this complexity, robust processes throughout the supply chain from supplier to the point of use are essential. A stable production process facilitates many positive effects and, combined with the use of new technologies, logistics concepts can be significantly improved.

Thomas Heptner will describe the future-oriented logistics concepts of Audi Neckarsulm and show how the use of new technologies promotes process optimization and reduces costs.
