The challenges you face

Manufacturing Challenges

We Understand the Challenges Automotive Suppliers Are Facing

You’re not just producing parts; you’re meeting stringent customer requirements, delivering tight schedules, managing frequent engineering changes, and maintaining cost competitiveness. We work closely with automotive parts and components manufacturers supplying South African OEMs and export programmes, so we understand the realities you face:

  • Quality Standards and Documentation Requirements: Automotive customers demand robust quality systems aligned to global OEM requirements. Managing documentation, control plans, and ongoing quality records creates significant administrative overhead without the right systems.

  • Engineering Changes and Version Control: Engineering changes are frequent. Managing effective dates, running out superseded stock, and ensuring the correct revision is produced and shipped is critical to avoiding rework and customer rejections.

  • Delivery Precision and Schedule Adherence: Late deliveries can disrupt customer production lines. Meeting call-off schedules with limited buffer stock requires disciplined production planning and reliable execution.

  • Cost Pressure and Margin Protection: Annual cost-down expectations are common in the automotive sector. Understanding true production costs and identifying efficiency gains is essential for long-term sustainability.

We've seen it, we've heard it - and we've built Klipboard Manufacturing to help you take control of it.
