Maintaining Seamless Data Flow with Ford at Hutchinson Paulstra

As a leading European supplier of vibration and acoustic insulation solutions, Hutchinson Paulstra holds a crucial Tier 1 supplier relationship with Ford Motor Company. Working predominantly with Catia V5, Hutchinson Paulstra faced a significant challenge in managing the extensive data exchange requirements inherent in their collaboration with Ford. The high volume of data, coupled with the numerous variants of part numbers required for multiple Ford programs, placed a considerable strain on their internal resources.

Sourcing Hutchinson Paulstra on multiple concurrent programs meant Ford required frequent and large-scale data deliveries. This demand created a bottleneck in the supplier's workflow, potentially impacting project timelines and requiring a robust, scalable solution to ensure the timely and accurate exchange of critical engineering data. Maintaining efficient communication and rapid response times with Ford was also vital for a successful partnership.
