Case Study: Eissmann Group Automotive achieves 100% process transparency and 30% faster production with Celonis

Eissmann Automotive Equips itself with Process Mining for the Future

Eissmann Group Automotive, a global car‑interiors manufacturer with more than 5,000 employees, faced the challenge of achieving full traceability and transparency across safety‑critical, partly manual production (e.g., airbags) and supporting processes such as Purchase‑to‑Pay and Master Data Management. Disparate systems, manual evaluations and data quality issues made it hard to spot bottlenecks, prevent scrap and get consistent reporting, so Eissmann Group Automotive adopted Celonis Process Mining to digitize and monitor its end‑to‑end processes.

Celonis connected to Eissmann Group Automotive’s MES/ERP/AS‑400/SQL systems to visualize real‑time process flows, uncover data errors, compare plant performance and standardize evaluations. Using Celonis, Eissmann rebuilt lines, automated manual steps, eliminated a problematic master‑data step and cut throughput times by 30%, reduced sources of scrap (e.g., adhesive timing), and exposed inconsistent supplier terms — delivering measurable transparency and faster, more profitable production.
