Automotive: Discover the Paragon partnership

Gaining operational agility, negotiating better and always being part of the ongoing digital transformation are challenges for the automotive industry. PARAGON offers the tools you need to answer tough questions.

The Brazilian automotive industry has been facing major challenges in recent decades with the economic instability that affects the cost and supply of production and, as a result, the prices and sales of vehicles.

Stakeholders need to look for ways to increase productivity by optimizing processes to deliver products at affordable prices and preserving good profitability rates.

Technology can be the key to resuming growth on more sound bases and with a better governance level, which prevents, among other things, inefficient purchase schedules and waste.

PARAGON gives your car manufacturing plant or assembly line the tools needed to answer tough questions.

You can assess how new changes, as well as specific restrictions, will affect yield, productivity level or available inventory at your facilities.

Furthermore, the technology solutions we use allow you to create accurate 3D models of your facilities and processes to help you answer any question.

Come and see the value that the PARAGON CONSULTING will add to your decisions towards growth!

How we solve your problem

The PARAGON team is formed by experts in decision-making tools. Said tools include statistical, modeling, management and data visualization software and methodologies. We use the most modern simulation, optimization, scheduling and data visualization technologies. Our main goal is to offer security for decision making, presenting results and simple alternatives for complex problems that help reaching the productivity and profitability targets through cost reduction and investment optimization.

Digital transformation in the automotive industry

The technological revolution is ceasing to be revolutionary. For some years, it has been consolidating itself as a reality to leverage efficiency, reduce costs and achieve the best results in vehicle assembly lines.

The World Economic Forum projected that the digitization of processes will generate an appreciation for the automobile industry of around US$ 600 billion by 2025.

Digital transformation allows companies to leverage all processes, especially their production lines, and achieve consistent cost savings, increased revenue and competitive advantages to differentiate themselves from competitors.

One of the most important purposes in times of still low sales and rising costs due to the crisis in the supply of inputs and raw materials is to optimize production management.

Digitizing the assembly line allows for the implementation of best practices aiming at:

Better programmed purchases, avoiding stoppages due to lack of materials and obtaining better prices in advance of demand;
Rationalizing operational resources to avoid unproductive labor or delays due to lack of employees;
Reducing the cost of energy (the cost/hour is among the highest in the world);
The rational and sustainable use of water.

Big data is an essential tool for handling large volumes of data that are generated within an automobile plant or assembly facility.

It is possible to converge valuable information generated in the production line routines and in the industries linked to the plant – purchases, supplies, human resources – for the most different actions.

With such a rich volume of data, it is possible to establish projects involving the following:

Comprehensive governance and monitoring of the logistics chain

In order to maintain or increase productivity on the assembly lines, it is essential that there is an active back-office, the governance area must be the most comprehensive to control and have a simple and effective communication with the supply chain and the supplier networks.

Technological structuring of standards and processes

It is essential that standards and processes are constantly studied, validated and defined in a structured manner and using data technology, which guarantees quick responses to all stakeholders: internal departments, suppliers and distributors.

With PARAGON, it is possible to establish a comprehensive governance project, supported by the most modern tools for capturing and processing data in large volumes and process mapping.

In this way, the assertiveness of the definitions is greater, with the countless possibilities of vision and analysis of the collected data, generating scenarios that can be digitally validated before being implemented.

PARAGON works with the most modern tools, aimed at generating large databases in projects for the creation, expansion and modernization of automotive lines.

Using big data and mathematical data modeling systems, it is possible to map all routines, their installed resources and needs, besides creating digital environments that mirror hypothetical real scenarios.

Thus, you can use everyday situations of supply and demand of materials, operational scales, specific problems in the assembly line and other questions to test and validate the conditions of each virtual environment.

This means more efficiency in the study of solutions and a greater guarantee of achieving results.
