Globalization has heightened competition, incessantly pushed cost reduction, and driven the need for greater efficiency. It has directly affected the automotive industry and has presented a variety of persistent challenges, such as defect reduction, the creation of non-standard parts, lack of tooling simulation, and greater need for efficient project management.
To retain existing customers and win new business, automotive suppliers must deliver accurate and competitive proposals earlier and develop high quality innovative products while driving your costs down. New strategies are clearly needed to support highly challenging requirements and optimize all aspects of your product development process.
CATIA for Automotive Suppliers address these challenges by improving productivity, reducing costs, delivering goods quickly, and ensuring a rapid return on investment.
To succeed in this environment, automotive suppliers need to be able to:
- Provide rapid and accurate quotes
- Stop designing from scratch
- Promote standardization by capitalizing know-how
- Minimize defects with the use of design rules
- Ensure high product quality with early built-in virtual product simulation and validation
- Simulate tooling easily with collision checking and kinematics
- Shorten design cycle time
- Simplify design modifications
- Manage projects efficiently
- Implement an integrated platform
CATIA for Automotive Suppliers helps automotive suppliers and tooling companies to build and maintain close relationships with their Tier 1 and OEMs customers and to become a preferred-partner. Its cutting edge technology enables suppliers to strengthen their competitiveness and improve their productivity by leveraging their know-how to respond rapidly to customer demands and specifications, while seamlessly managing the supply chain relationship

Collaborate
Collaboration is more than just working together. Enhanced collaboration is one of the keys to business success. It requires early communication and close attention to detail to provide an accurate and innovative product. It must be simple and secure. CATIA has become a de-facto PLM standard in the automotive industry, creating an environment for you to easily share and transfer your data throughout the supply chain.
Standardize with Built-in Knowledge
CATIA for Automotive Suppliers enables engineering design rules, company standards, predefined norms, and know-how to be captured and embedded in the design definition so that the knowledge and experience accumulated over the years can easily be shared and re-used for new projects. This results in improved product quality, more time for innovation, faster delivery, and increased standardization. Standardizing parts is crucial in helping automotive suppliers reduce buying, manufacturing, storing and maintenance costs thus enabling them to price their parts more competitively. It improves operational flexibility and simplifies supply chain management. In addition, standardization frees valuable resources to improve operations and quality, implement better product development practices, and introduce new capabilities.
Reduce Costs
Once you’ve established a broad range of standardized parts with ease and speed, you have taken the first steps towards cost reduction. The standardization of components reduces buying, manufacturing, storing and maintenance costs. CATIA for Automotive Supply chain also automatically updates associated tool designs when a part model changes, offering dramatic labor design savings.
Ensure Quality
One of the crucial keys to customer satisfaction is high quality. You may think it’s not possible to improve quality and produce parts quickly. However, with CATIA for Automotive Suppliers, the capture of knowledge makes it easy and fast to check designs for precision, making sure that your quality standards are sustained through every phase. By working in 3D, you can develop “A Master” that can be reused for other areas such as simulation and numerical control (NC). This digital manufacturing simulation and validation facilitates the creation of customer proposals and helps you to provide quotations with better accuracy
Deliver as Promised
Your customers are counting on you to deliver as promised. Customer satisfaction is vital to building and maintaining close customer relationships, in addition to winning new customers. The competitive market requires you to deliver your products to market quickly so that you stay ahead of your competition. CATIA for Automotive Suppliers makes it fast and easy to design and deliver your product to market on time.
