Manufacturing & Automotive

Industry Overview

Manufacturing and automotive are undergoing a fundamental shift. Traditional lines of mass production are giving way to smart factories, connected machines, and rapid changes in consumer demand. Manufacturers must juggle cost pressures, supply-chain shocks, regulatory demands (e.g., emissions, traceability) and evolving business models (like servitisation, customisation) — all while trying to maintain uptime, quality and margin.

What this really means is: the next wave of competitive advantage will come via end-to-end visibility, agile production, and tightly integrated finance + operations.

Key Industry Challenges
1). Legacy systems and product complexity  – Many manufacturers still rely on older ERP or shop-floor systems that don’t integrate well with modern supply-chain and IoT data.
2). Supply-chain disruption & inventory volatility – Raw-material lead times, global logistics issues, and demand swings mean excessive inventory, stock-outs or scrap.
3). Quality, traceability & compliance – In automotive especially, parts sourcing, emissions, recalls demand full traceability and audit-ready processes.
4). Data silos between finance, operations & manufacturing – When AR/AP/GL/ERP systems are not aligned with production and logistics, visibility is poor and cost leak-ages occur.
5). Adopting Industry 4.0 at scale – Sensors, robots, digital twins, and predictive maintenance promise gains, but integrating them into the ERP backbone is complex and risky.
6). Cycle time, customisation & time-to-market pressure – Automotive and high-mix manufacturing must deliver faster, with fewer defects and more flexibility.
7). Skilled labour and automation gap – Manufacturers are facing worker skills shortages even as they invest in automation.
Manufacturing & Automotive Services and Solutions offered by Faramond Technologies
Here’s how we structure our offering to address those pain-points:

– Deployment of Oracle Fusion Financials/Manufacturing modules tailor-designed for discrete, process or mixed-mode manufacturing environments.
– Custom AR/AP/GL integrations to support manufacturing cost flows: raw-material procurement → WIP → finished goods → invoicing.
– Chart of Accounts, costing models and dashboards tuned for manufacturing KPIs (cost per unit, scrap %, OEE).

– Integration of shop floor (MES), procurement and logistics systems with the ERP backbone so production planning, inventory and financials converge.
– Real-time visibility into raw materials, spares, finished goods, and movement of goods across plants and warehouses.

– Leveraging the ERP as the central hub for data from sensors, machines and IoT devices. For example, machine downtime data feeds into costing, maintenance reserve, and quality flows. oracle.com

– Customized billing logic for complex assemblies, variants, subscriptions/servitised models (if applicable to automotive OEMs/suppliers).
– AR workflows tied directly to production shipments, returns, warranty claims and service agreements.

– Automated PO generation aligned with production schedules, dynamic pricing/supplier models, vendor score-cards, and cost-containment mechanisms.

– End-to-end cost tracking: from raw material to work-in-progress to finished goods, scrap and variance analysis. GL postings aligned with production, margin, and cost centre structures.

– Embedded dashboards and analytics for KPIs like OEE (Overall Equipment Efficiency), scrap rates, yield, throughput, cost per unit, inventory turns.

– Post-go-live support for adding new models, plant roll-outs, variant costing, continuous improvement and change requests.

– Migration from older ERP/MES systems into Oracle Fusion cloud, harmonising global plants, standardising processes, enabling scale.

– Ensuring traceability from raw materials through finished goods and warranty/service parts, supporting automotive standards (IATF 16949), emissions regulation, recall readiness.

How Faramond Can Help in Manufacturing & Automotive

At Faramond Technologies, we bring:

Deep experience with Oracle Fusion (finance + manufacturing) plus integrations (OIC, API-first approach)

Proven practices for discrete, process and mixed-mode manufacturers, including automotive OEMs and Tier-1/2 suppliers
End-to-end lens: we don’t treat ERP as finance system only — we link finance + production + supply chain + service
A delivery approach that emphasises minimal disruption to manufacturing operations, phased go-live by plant or region, and robust change management
Global perspective combined with local delivery: relevant for manufacturers operating across India, GCC, North America
Emphasis on analytics and continuous improvement: one-time implementation is good; our support extends into evolving operations
Faramond’s Capability in Reporting & Analytics for Manufacturing

We build analytics frameworks that make shop-floor, finance and supply-chain data speak to each other. Examples:

Cost-per-unit dashboards by product family, plant, shift, real-time vs budget
Inventory-turn and raw-material-usage analytics showing scrap, re-work, and cost impact
Production bottleneck detection: integrating MES/machine data into ERP to highlight under-utilised assets, downtime reasons, throughput loss
Predictive maintenance insight: machine sensors feed into maintenance scheduling, cost provisioning and asset-life metrics
Supplier performance and procurement analytics: delivery times, quality rejects, cost variance, supplier score-cards
Global consolidation dashboards: multiple plants, currencies, cost centres in one view for finance leadership
Use-case example (anonymised):

A precision-components manufacturer with multiple plants across Asia implemented Oracle Fusion ERP along with shop-floor integration. We helped roll-out AR/AP/GL harmonisation, unified costing, and real-time inventory visibility. Outcome: inventory turns improved by 18%, scrap reduced by 12%, production cost per unit dropped by ~9%.
