AIM plans on demonstrating a practical application of “co-opetition” at this year’s AutoTech

 

[FRASER, MICHIGAN, August 7, 2007] — AIM plans on demonstrating a practical application of “co-opetition” at this year’s AutoTech held August 21 – 23, 2007 at the Rock Financial Showplace in Novi, Michigan.

For the past 25 years, the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) has applied “co-opetition” — a theory of creating and capturing value through cooperation with competition — to resolve global supply chain issues via the adoption of common business practices and interoperable business systems.  Now in its 20th year, the AIAG AutoTech conference focuses on the cooperative efforts among more than 1,400 supply chain companies actively engaged in numerous AIAG initiatives.

“We see that interaction between Trading Partners in a now global manufacturing world has never been higher,” says Jerry Czernel, AIM Computer Solutions, Inc., VP of Operations, “the fast-paced changes to EDI and related manufacturing preparedness has brought about new requirements for trading partners to cooperate on, and impacts the entire materials management forum.”

AIM has introduced advanced query tools for analytics and user interrogation of its AIM Vision® database.  In addition, new partnerships with Microsoft Dynamics have provided simple and practical enhancements to our proven product in several mission critical areas: APQP, PPAP, Quoting and Estimating and other vital areas.

“Our new AutoSys Broker System manages time sensitive schedules for customers who must manage both a local and overseas supply chain” adds Jerry Czernel, VP of Operations.  “In addition, when value added services are introduced to the logistics chain, our repetitive manufacturing software creates the routing and single level paypoints as needed to fit the level of detail that makes sense”.

AIM is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and focuses on automotive suppliers for its entire customer base.
