CHENNAI: Carmaker Hyundai Motors India will implement the ERP solutions next year at its Maraimalai Nagar facility, near here.
Disclosing this to CyberMedia News on the sidelines of the Autotech 2006, a conference on IT for Excellence in Automotive Engineering, organized by the Southern Region chapter of Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Dr Jung K Paeng, senior vice president and CIO of Hyundai Motor Company, said this follows the successful implementation of CRM solutions by the company.
“CRM was a success as a pilot project. This year our focus will be on ERP in the second facility, by replacing all the legacy systems, which would give us better benefits as a foreign investor,” Dr Paeng said.
“We would also be setting up a development center, near Chennai, which would focus on CAD, CAM and CAE for our global operations,” he said adding that India provided a good growth opportunity given the availability of good human resources with high education and IT expertise.
Dr Paeng also said that about 1000 people would be hired initially for the design center.
On the implementation of IT in the automotive sector, he said: “In automobile industry, quality is essential and there needs to be a robust system to put things in place.”
