Automotive parts management

SIM software is used by the Mc Laren SP racing team in Indianapolis, leaders of the IndyCars Series.
Spare parts management is critical in motorsports.
You have to be sure you have the right parts at the right time.
The slightest error in maintenance can be fatal, not only for performance, but also for the driver.

FADEUR is the largest John Deer garage in Belgium. They repair huge machines made out of thousands of parts. Their SIM manages almost 1 milion barcodes which are updated every month from the manufacturer's catalogs.

Given the size of the warehouse, a special program was developed for barcode reader to enhance its adaptability to the specific layouts of the placement areas: alleys, racks, levels, boxes, etc.

The first concern is to know which reference is compatible with a given vehicle. ALFI-TURBO near Tour uses the designation field to list all vehicles compatible with a reference. One scan of the barcode and one click is enough to search inside thousands of references and car models. Another interesting SIM feature is the composition: you can see that a repair kit is composed of bolts, screws, etc. Then, each time you create a set of items, you keep track of parts that are removed from stock as well as kits created.

SIM handles spare parts movement, but also prints delivery notes and invoices..

The travel agency Vintage Ride in India manages a fleet of 50 motorcycles with a staff who can barely read english.
From this the "​​colored buttons" idea was borned. Mechanics who have no computer training do all the operations on the PC without mistakes.
The maintenance book of motorcycles has become useless, thanks to SIM.
