The Global Materials Management Operations Guideline/Logistics
Evaluation (MMOG/LE) jointly developed between the Automotive
Industry Action Group (AIAG) and Odette International is a
standardised continuous improvement and self-assessment tool
aimed at providing automotive suppliers with a means to measure
and streamline their material planning and logistics processes.
The tool has been in use
since 2004 and several thousand users within the Automotive
community have been trained
in classroom
training courses worldwide. Companies encouraging their suppliers
to use the MMOG/LE (translated into 10 different languages)
include, but are not limited to: Bosch, Chrysler, Ford, Gates,
PSA, Renault and Volvo.
The work on Version 3 started
last year and its goal is to incorporate suggested improvements
and additions from AIAG
and Odette member companies in order to emphasise even
more the continuous improvement effects the tool can provide
to
user companies.
There has never been a better
time to take a look at this tool if you haven’t already
done so. The Automotive Industry at the moment needs all the
help it can get in improving efficiency
and reducing costs.
If you are already familiar
with it, why don’t you make
suggestions to further improve the tool
or join the project team in their
work
sessions?
