MMOG/LE

MMOG/LE

MMOG/LE has been developed jointly by Odette and AIAG* as a unique Supply Chain Management capability assessment tool that can be used throughout the global automotive industry as well as across other industry sectors. 

*Automotive Industry Action Group represents the automotive industry in North America

Introduction to MMOG/LE

Continuous supply chain improvement

MMOG/LE has become the de-facto standard tool for evaluating supply chain processes in the automotive industry. It is widely used for internal assessments, organisation benchmarking and improving supply chain performance. The tool contains almost 200 logistics assessment criteria which allow an organisation’s processes to be benchmarked against industry best practice.

• The capability and performance of existing logistics organisations are evaluated using Global MMOG/LE (with simple ‘A’, ‘B’ or ‘C’ ratings) and logistics system plans that meet customer or internal requirements are supported.
• Evaluations assist vehicle manufacturers and suppliers to reduce costs, waste, and workloads by streamlining and improving operating procedures.
• Global MMOG/LE also makes it much easier to explain supply chain operations to external customers and demonstrate improvement to internal management.

The tool is aligned with the common goals of IATF 16949 and contains number and terminology consistent with this widely implemented global standard.

Basic module

A specific feature introduced with Version 4 is a “Basic” module aimed at smaller suppliers as well as those in developing markets or those whose main business may be in sectors other than automotive. This “Basic” module, containing a reduced number of criteria focusing on the core fundamentals of logistics best practice, provides a valuable first step along the path to compliance with the full MMOG/LE.

Version 5

The current Version 4 of MMOG/LE was released in 2014 and over the past 12 months Odette and AIAG have been developing a Version 5 in order to ensure that the tool takes account of the constant evolutions in supply chain processes, logistics and communications technology, IT security and related audit standards.

Version 5, which is planned for release in Q1 2019, will quickly become the required standard for self-assessment by automotive suppliers and we expect customers to be announcing their V4 to V5 migration plans over the coming months to ensure that their suppliers have sufficient time to bring their logistics operations up to speed.

For example, companies will be expected to have a risk management process in place to ensure continuity of supplies when the organisation is required to deviate from normal operations. Another important feature will be cybersecurity with companies needing to ensure that their data is secure both internally and with third party partners and especially whilst in transit.

The vectors of change for Version 5 include:

• Risk management
• Cybersecurity
• Digitalisation
• Industry 4.0
• Alignment with IATF 16949

Although the Excel based MMOG/LE assessment tool has served the industry well over the past decade, Odette has developed a modern browser based application called MMOG.np (New Platform) to take its place worldwide. The application has been exhaustively tested by key users in Europe and North America.

MMOG.np includes exactly the same content (chapters, questions, weighting) as the previous Excel based Version 4 but also offers all the functionalities expected from a state of the art IT tool (such as audit trail, user access management, data security, etc..).

Based on a powerful underlying database MMOG.np includes the following key features:

• Comprehensive maintenance of data
• Dedicated functionalities for customers and suppliers
• Unlimited number of users with controlled access
• Multiple assessment sites, MMOG versions and Customer profiles
• Multi-language
• Use of previous assessments as templates
• Import/export of assessments from and to the current Excel based tool
• Bulk import of customers and suppliers master data
  

Choose the solution that's right for your business

MMOG.np is available as a cloud based application (MMOG.np Cloud). It can also be locally installed on stand-alone computer or in a company intranet (MMOG.np Local) depending on your preference or company policy.

Fully interoperable

MMOG.np Cloud and MMOG.np Local solutions are fully interoperable. They follow the same workflow and are developed using the same browser based user Interface. MMOG.np integrates the existing workflows supported by the Excel workbook and can therefore be used with all of your MMOG/LE partners even if they have not yet migrated to MMOG.np.

Multi-language

The application and the catalogue of questions are both available in several languages and answers to the questions can be given in multiple languages (even for the same criteria). The catalogue is currently available in the following languages: Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Korean, Spanish, Turkish, Portuguese.

Licencing

To be able to use MMOG.np you will need to obtain a software licence from Odette. Before doing this you will need to decide whether you want to install MMOG.np locally (on a stand-alone computer or in your company intranet) or you want to use the cloud platform. Whichever platform you choose, the licencing model is the same, with prices based on the number of your company sites you wish to set up in the application:

• If you want to make MMOG/LE assessments (supplier perspective), this will be the number of different manufacturing or logistics sites in your company that need to be assessed.
• If you want to receive and review MMOG/LE assessments (customer perspective), this will be the number of different divisions or departments in your company that need to receive assessments directly from suppliers (in most cases this will probably be just one).

Note: Odette members (OEMs and Suppliers) are entitled to a significant discount on the normal prices. To obtain the appropriate licence you will need to make an order on this website. You will then be able to pay for your licence either immediately by credit card or subsequently by bank transfer. When the appropriate fee has been received by Odette you will receive an email with the necessary instructions to get you started.

A licence for MMOG.np (Version 4.1) includes:

• Use of assessment catalogue V4.1 in English and many other languages
  
• Ability to manage assessments from both the supplier and customer perspectives
• Unlimited number of partners (customers and/or suppliers)
  
• Unlimited number of users with specific rights and roles
