Plexus Online has been designed and built with the goal of helping suppliers do business with Honda of America Manufacturing, Inc. As a company, Plexus has made it one of our strategic objectives to be the system of choice for Honda suppliers.

In 2003, the Plexus Online EDI and Bar Coding solution was approved by Honda of America Manufacturing, Inc. as meeting its EDI & Bar Code Label Implementation Requirements. This approval includes Honda's Star, Delta, and GPCS systems.

Plexus continues to work closely with Honda to make sure our software is always up to date with Honda’s EDI / Bar Coding standards.

In addition, Plexus strives to provide Honda suppliers with the other tools that help them to run their business more efficiently, including the following:

Automotive Release System: Plexus Online provides a tightly-integrated solution for handling Order Management, EDI, Inventory Control, Bar Code Labeling, and Finished Goods Shipping. This provides a streamlined, real-time system for managing and fulfilling Honda releases.

Quality Management System: Plexus Online provides a comprehensive quality solution, including Product Specifications, Process Flow Charts, FMEA, Control Plans, Shop Floor Process Instructions, Inspection Data Collection, SPC, PPAP, Problem Control System (Corrective Actions), Internal Auditing, Compliance Module, and 30 other quality modules.

Lean Manufacturing Execution System: Plexus Online was designed and built around the principles of lean manufacturing. This includes our trademark Scanban™ system involving bar coded kanban cards, as well as our virtual kanban scheduling system, electronic pull, automatic replenishment, and hiejunka load leveling. Using its powerful Control Panel on the shop floor, Plexus Online provides extensive poka-yoke (mistake proofing) in the production process.

Inventory Tracking System: Plexus Online provides a detailed, real-time Inventory Tracking System specifically designed for discrete manufacturing and assemblies. It provides serialized, container-level tracking, unit-level tracking, and also piece-level tracking. This subsystem, which uses bar coding extensively, provides your company with constant, detailed visibility of all your inventory, including the part, quantity, engineering level, location on the shop floor, heat/lot, and much more. Integrated within the Inventory Tracking System, Plexus Online provides a Part Genealogy and Traceability System, which allows you to diagnose manufacturing issues, increase accountability, trace defective material, contain quality problems, and fulfill OEM traceability requirements. The traceability system allows you to quickly and easily track down the production date, time, shift, machine, operators, materials, components, suppliers, process details, tooling, quality inspection data, and more. The graphical traceability tree allows you to trace both forward through the process (to see where a raw material / component has been used) as well as backward through the process (to see the source materials/components for a WIP or finished goods container).

TS-16949 Certification: Plexus Online is used by our customers as the primary tool for attaining and maintaining the TS-16949 Certification. Plexus Online helps you achieve this automotive quality standard in the most cost-effective and meaningful way for your company.
