Automotive

Connect SAP, Oracle, plant, supplier and logistics changes to model events, site readiness, part traceability and the downtime each line can provide.

The plant calendar decides when technology can change.

ERP and plant changes affect production schedules, material calls, supplier messages, quality records and shipment flow. Model changes, shutdowns and launch events create different cutover conditions at each site, while legacy interfaces still carry production-critical records.

Robra builds the rollout from plant and supplier dependencies, then aligns data, testing, cutover and hypercare to each site's production window. Named specialists retain local decisions as the program moves from one plant to the next.

Talk to an expert

Enterprise change sequenced to plants, suppliers and production events.

ERP and plant execution

SAP and Oracle processes connected to production scheduling, material movement, quality, maintenance and plant execution systems.

Supplier and logistics EDI

Schedules, ASNs, receipts and shipment records monitored across suppliers, plants, warehouses and finance.

Part and production traceability

Material, serial, batch, quality and genealogy data linked across the records used by plant and enterprise teams.

Cutover around production

Testing, deployment and rollback aligned to shutdowns, model changes, plant launches and the downtime each site can provide.

Plant-by-plant rollout control

PMO leadership that tracks local configuration, interfaces, training, data readiness and support before each site goes live.

Launch and hypercare continuity

Functional and integration specialists who stay through cutover, production ramp-up and the first release cycles.

Build the rollout plant by plant.

We map shutdowns, model changes, supplier cutovers, local interfaces and production ramp-up before setting deployment dates. Each site has its own data, training, rollback and hypercare entry criteria within the program plan.

Production events set cutover

Shutdowns, model changes, launches and ramp-up periods determine the viable deployment and rollback windows.

Supplier messages cross company lines

Schedules, ASNs, receipts and exceptions require ownership across suppliers, plants, logistics and enterprise systems.

Legacy interfaces still feed the line

Transition plans protect local integrations and manual recovery procedures until the replacement flow proves stable.

Acceptance reaches the plant floor

Tests connect system behavior to material availability, quality status, traceability and production readiness.

Where enterprise systems meet the production line.

Supplier messages, material status and quality records have to reach the plant in time for the next build sequence.

Supplier schedule to line-side material

Planning, supplier EDI, warehouse and plant systems must agree on part, quantity, sequence and delivery status before the line needs the material.

Part and quality record to traceability

Serial, lot, genealogy and inspection records need a continuous link across suppliers, plants, quality systems and enterprise reporting.

Plant cutover to production ramp-up

ERP, MES, warehouse and interface teams need one plan for shutdown work, first production, rollback and support as volume returns.

Frequently asked

Can Robra support one plant or lead a multi-site rollout?

Yes. Robra can add a plant-facing specialist, own a functional or integration workstream, coordinate PMO delivery across sites, or provide support after launch. We build the team around each plant's calendar and the governance used across the program.

What experience does the team bring to plant-facing technology change?

Our practitioners understand ERP, supplier EDI, material movement, quality, warehouse and plant-system dependencies. Robra can combine functional, integration, data, testing, cutover and program talent for the production event in scope.

Will the same specialists stay through launch and production ramp-up?

They can. Named specialists can continue through cutover, first production, hypercare and the next release cycle. Minimal turnover preserves plant decisions, interface history and local workarounds while volume returns.

Bring the plant calendar that sets the date.

Show us the sites, systems, supplier dependencies and next shutdown, model change or launch. We will shape the rollout team around that production event.
