Business-to-business technology specialist Seeburger has updated its WebEDI partner portal for automotive companies, with enhanced functionality to meet MMOG/LE specifications. MMOG/LE, or materials management operations guidelines/logistics evaluation, is a compilation of best practices against which automotive supplier companies can rate their material handling and logistics procedures. The guideline is a cooperative effort of the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) in the United States — the originator of the materials management operations benchmark — and Odette International Ltd. in Europe, which contributed its logistics evaluation to the standard. In their respective geographies, the benchmarks emerged just before the turn of the century as a means of simplifying the assessment process for automotive suppliers and the OEMs they serve. In 2004, Odette and AIAG combined the two to form a global document. Many automotive OEMs now require their suppliers to assess their materials handling and logistics proficiency through MMOG/LE, and use a company's score to gauge its attractiveness as a partner.
