Case Study: Yanfeng Automotive Interiors achieves faster supplier cost recovery and improved plant efficiency with Cority

Helping Yanfeng Automotive Interiors Increase Efficiency, Supplier Cost Recovery, and Improve Customer Quality

Yanfeng Automotive Interiors (YFAI), a global leader in automotive interior design and manufacturing with ~110 plants and 33,000+ employees, faced inefficient supplier quality management that left them unable to recoup costs—most notably a Supplier Chargeback process that averaged six weeks to complete. After a 2017 vendor search, Yanfeng selected Cority’s Quality Management Software (QMS) to unify disparate plant data and streamline supplier interactions.

Cority implemented a SaaS QMS with a live ERP web service to automate supplier debits, RMAs, inventory moves, scorecards, and certification management. The Cority solution cut chargeback processing from six weeks to 3–6 days (288 hours saved), shortened the supplier scorecard process by three months, reduced issue-entry fields by 30%, engaged 68% of Yanfeng’s direct supply base (3,500+ contacts), and materially increased supplier cost recovery and plant efficiency.
