    MAHLE Stuttgart

    “If only we had introduced SCIIL eLPA earlier – today it almost runs itself with process audits and is really well received by the team.”

    Daniel Zimmermann,
    Global Commodity Buyer

    As a global automotive supplier with over 100 locations and the highest quality requirements, MAHLE needs a system that maps daily LPAs efficiently, transparently and uniformly worldwide. Manual planning and evaluation was error-prone and time-consuming – with SCIIL eLPA, a centralized system was introduced that automates planning, makes deviations immediately visible and structures the processes across all locations. This not only increases audit quality, but also ensures the necessary acceptance among users.
