Challenges within IT/Logistics
- Home grown wms system without transport management
module.
- Complex logistics
inbound: new logistics flow PCC
Outbound: direct dealer deliveries
- Customer experience: there is a customer behind every
parts order. FULl Visibility is needed through the supply
chain.
- Importance of on-time deliveries:
- Customer loyalty/retention
- non-genuine parts threat
Mazda strategy
- mazda HQ acquired oracle licenses:
- Oracle offers global support and flexible solutions
to support our challenges
- Mazda wants to Create competence centres (OTM in
europe)
- Solution design can be used across the mazda world
Solutions overview + oracle components
- PCC (Parts consolidation centre):
- EBS: order + inventory management
- WMS: unloading, staging, loading operations
- Otm: transport management, container load plan
- SPE (Service parts export)
- Otm: transport management, settlement, track &
trace
- SOA: used for all interfaces
PCC INTEGRATION POINTS
PCC project
- Mazda japan orders parts for production sites in
japan/mexico to european suppliers
- Mazda europe arranges the pickup at supplier:
- Air order: mle arranges pickup at supplier and sends
the goods by air to japan via the nearest airport
- sea order: mle arranges pickup at supplier,
consolidates the goods in Willebroek and ships them weekly
per container to japan/mexico
- Project was implemented end 2013
PCC lessons learned
- Choice of oracle partner is very important
- Availability of resources:
- Business owner: needs sufficient free time, not
possible to take this on top of daily job
- Testing: sufficient time needs to made available
for people to test
- Waterfall project:
- Final solution did not always meet original
business requirements
SPE PROJECT
The goal is to implement an efficient and effective
transportation management solution that provides
transparency, visibility and accurate calculations as
well as decision making for the optimal logistic solution
for transporting goods across the MLE network.

Spe project status
- release 1 delivered: go live mid january 2015
- Release 2 ongoing
- Original Project timing is still valid
- Project budget: currently slightly under budget
- Full solution foreseen to be completed by mid may 2015
Spe project lessons learned
- Good cooperation between IT/Business/mavenwire has
positive impact on the final solution. Having a fixed
project team on site is very important
- Agile approach:
- Building the solution already starts in an
early phase of the project
- Impediments/issues are raised at a very early
stage due to the daily scrums
- Avoid over-customisation:
- Requires flexibility from business to do things
differently
- Requires a partner with good knowledge of
standard otm functionality
Spe project lessons learned
- Sufficient manpower is needed for testing and project
follow-up both on business side as on iT side. Managing a
project on top of your daily business is tough.
Spe project benefits
- Transport optimisation
- Next to the working solution we have created a platform
for further growth
- Reduced manual effort: this manpower will be used to
strenghten our customer focus and follow-up
- It only has to support one system instead of multiple
applications
- Sourcing option due to historical data
- Setup is future proof due to the use of SOA
Next steps
- Look into further use of the oracle system within mle
(WMS)
- Use the competence centres experience to further rollout oracle within mazda
