Auto suppliers face a uniquely complex planning environment — managing volatile OEM production demand, multi-tier supply chain constraints, tight margin pressure, and increasing product complexity due to rapid shifts in vehicle programs driven by electrification and platform consolidation. In this webinar, we explore how auto suppliers are using Jedox to bring finance, operations, and commercial planning together in a single integrated platform — replacing fragmented spreadsheets and disconnected systems with a unified, real-time view of the business.

Join Jedox planning experts and industry practitioners for a hands-on look at how auto suppliers are accelerating budgeting and forecasting cycles, improving visibility into program and product profitability, and building the scenario planning capabilities needed to respond quickly when customer schedules change, commodity costs spike, or new program launches shift the cost structure. Whether you are running a Tier 1 or Tier 2 operation, this session will show you what modern planning looks like for the automotive supply chain.

What you will learn:

  • Responding to OEM demand volatility and program changes. When a customer shifts release schedules, cuts volumes, or delays a launch, how do you quickly assess the financial and operational impact across your programs? And how do you communicate a response before the situation gets worse?

  • Understanding true profitability across programs, products, and plants. With margin pressure coming from every direction, how do you get a clear picture of where you’re actually making or losing money — by customer program, product line, component, or plant — with revenue, piece price, material costs, labor, tooling, and overhead all connected?

  • Aligning finance, operations, and supply chain around the same numbers. When volume changes or a new award comes in, how do you get finance, operations, and supply chain working from the same set of assumptions? Decisions about capacity, procurement, and manufacturing priorities shouldn’t be made in silos.

  • Staying ahead of commodity, inflation, and cost volatility. With steel, aluminum, resin, semiconductors, labor, and logistics costs all moving at once, how do you model the exposure, evaluate your options, and bring a coherent response to leadership before margin is already gone?
