What Does miFLEETS Do?

What Makes miFLEETS
the Best Tool for Long-Term Predictions?

Suppliers to the automotive industry often have to make delivery commitments to manufacturers for spare parts for up to 30 years. The production cycle of a device or part is usually only 5 years. Consequently, you have to make your own forecasts of the total quantity required based on uncertain time series. Making matters worse, an increasing number of variants and discontinuations must be taken into account. Within the framework of the forecasts, expensive shortages have to be weighed against balance-sheet-critical excess stocks.

miFLEETS offers:

  • Regular inventory assessment
  • Early identification of bottlenecks and overstocks
  • Automatic forecasts for inventory valuation and production planning
  • Preliminary analysis and, if necessary, corrective calculations of input data
  • Methods for discontinuations during series, quotation, group forecasts, missing production figures, etc.
Facts

For which type of forecasts is miFLEETS used?

miFLEETS is a specialized forecasting tool for predicting spare parts demand in the automotive industry, trusted by leading suppliers for over 20 years. Its key strength: even with just a few years of historical data, it can accurately project demand over very long time horizons. In most cases, spare parts supply must be ensured for at least 15 years—and in some cases, up to 30 years. Beyond long-term planning, miFLEETS is also used for short-term forecasting and fully automated, high-volume demand planning.

In what way can the data be provided?

A data import from common Spreadsheet software as well as any common SQL databases is supported. If required, custom interfaces can be prepared.

Which data is required for the forecast calculations?

The historical spare parts or service figures and the production or delivery quantities are used as central input data by the forecasting algorithms. With the help of specialized procedures, it is also possible to calculate forecasts without existing production or delivery quantities. In addition, device-specific information (predecessor-successor relationships, start and end date of production etc.) is included in the calculations. Within the scope of the forecast process, the user can include further information if necessary.

How big is the roll-out workload for miFLEETS?

In many cases, it is sufficient to start miFLEETS from a USB key. The greatest effort during the introduction is to provide the required input data either in a predefined Excel format or in database tables. For a transitional period, spreadsheet templates can also be filled in manually so that miFLEETS can already be used during the rollout. If necessary, we will be more than happy to support you based on our previous miFLEETS implementations.
