Inquiry, quotation, and order context was scattered.
An auto-component supplier improved on-time dispatch by connecting order confirmation, material readiness, and line scheduling.
Connected action
Optiwise connects sales promises to live factory reality.
The case study shows how the same job, material, task, document, and status can move through one live operating layer.
Owner outcome
Owners stop being the middleware for every exception.
Teams get clearer ownership, faster escalation, and more reliable decisions without waiting for one person to connect the dots.
Automotive Components | Late dispatches were eroding OEM trust
An auto-component supplier improved on-time dispatch by connecting order confirmation, material readiness, and line scheduling.
The Reality
- Sales promised dates without checking real capacity and stock.
- Priority jobs bypassed standard planning, creating line turbulence.
- Dispatch teams discovered shortages too close to shipment windows.
The Cost
- Penalty risk on delayed lots and strained OEM communication.
- Expedite purchases increased material cost variability.
- Overtime spikes due to preventable planning misses.
The Fix
Digitize
- Unified order intake with material and capacity checks.
- Created dispatch readiness views for every confirmed order.
- Digitized blocker reasons to reduce verbal escalation.
Optimize
- Introduced order risk scoring by material, routing, and load.
- Balanced production queues with dispatch SLA visibility.
- Enabled daily exception dashboards for operations heads.
Scale
- Triggered proactive delay alerts and alternate-plan suggestions.
- Automated handover from sales confirmation to production planning.
- Used AI trend signals to forecast end-of-month dispatch pressure.
The Result
Before: Dispatch promises were reactive and frequently missed.
After: On-time dispatch consistency improved, with fewer last-minute fire drills and lower expedite spend.
