Case Study: Yanfeng achieves cleaner, cross-location spare parts management with SPARETECH

Yanfeng removes 7,700 duplicate material numbers with SPARETECH

Yanfeng, a leading global automotive supplier, faced a challenge with inefficient spare parts management across its 13 EMEA plants. Each location used its own systems, resulting in an unclean material master full of duplicates and inconsistencies, which caused high costs and a lack of visibility. They partnered with vendor SPARETECH to address this.

SPARETECH implemented its Software-as-a-Service solution to create a unified, clean material master and integrate it with Yanfeng's systems. The results included the enrichment of over 24,000 data records and the removal of more than 7,700 duplicate material numbers. This provided Yanfeng with greater transparency, reduced manual effort, and established a strong foundation for efficient, cross-plant spare parts management.
