Tecfil, one of Latin America’s largest automotive filter manufacturers, has joined forces with Slimstock to revolutionise its supply chain processes by balancing demand and supply, enhancing collaboration between areas.

With over 72 years of industry leadership, Tecfil is a recognised manufacturer of automotive filters across the region. Equipped with cutting-edge technology, machinery and laboratories, Tecfil offers tailored solutions to its clients.

As a key player in the automotive sector, Tecfil is actively redefining and improving its demand planning and production processes, within a context of restructuration that began with the substitution of the current ERP software, including Slim4 and with other solutions planned to be implemented still in 2025. Committed to aligning its teams throughout the business, the company took a strategic step towards operational excellence and supply chain optimisation by implementing a new S&OP process.

By enhancing the alignment between forecasts and inventory levels, the company aims to strengthen service levels and operational efficiency with advanced digital solutions.

 

Slim4: The backbone of Tecfil’s S&OP process

To further improve its operations, Tecfil has chosen Slim4, Slimstock’s advanced inventory optimisation platform, as the foundation for its demand planning and execution strategies. By leveraging data-driven insights and automation, Tecfil will:

  • Enhance forecast accuracy and production planning.
  • Reduce operational workload and improve efficiency.
  • Accelerate decision-making processes.
  • Achieve the perfect balance between inventory value and service levels.

Carlos Eduardo Cardoso, S&OE/S&OP Supervisor at Tecfil, expressed his optimism: “I’m very keen to see how this project will improve our decision-making across the business. With this partnership, we are confident that we will enhance our demand planning accuracy and improve our sales and production. Ultimately, we aim to maintain a healthy stock level while continuing to give our customers the best service in the market.”
