Ford Motor Company
Ford Motor Company is the world's second largest automotive producer. The decision support system at Ford's Customer Service Division runs an "operational application" called Inventory Management and Alerting System (IMAS). The application supports analysts and management, as well as union employees working on the docks.
As many as 400 people use the Teradata-based IMAS daily to receive work instructions and perform analysis. In particular, tactical analysis is performed at the part-number level across all inventory touch points in the supply chain. Ford has migrated from a 30-day data refresh cycle to a one-day cycle. Teradata has helped Ford lower costs and improve efficiency, and now Ford has extended IMAS into its packaging and coating (parts painting) centers.

Teradata Magazine | "Have you driven a Ford lately?" Teradata has! |

[2Q 2004] One hundred years ago, Henry Ford made his dream a reality. With just $28,000 in capital he, along with 11 investors, incorporated Ford Motor Company. It took a little more than a month for the company to sell its first car, and over the next 19 years, it sold 15 million Model Ts. The rest, as they say, is history.
