Operational Strategies for a Global Supply Chain

The automotive industry's move towards shorter lead-times, supplier rationalization and a global network of partners, coupled with downward price pressures, drive the need for more efficient supply chain management and transformation initiatives such as:

  • Low-Cost Countries:
    Automotive companies are continuing to source and locate operations in low-cost regions to take advantage of lower infrastructure and labor costs. This can result in increased supply chain costs such as logistics, inventory and overhead requiring improved management of the global supply chain.
  • Lean Demand-Driven:
    Initiatives designed to increase operational flexibility to deal with shorter lead-times results in the need to manage more complex supply chain processes through integration and automation.
  • Supplier Collaboration:
    In order to manage a more complex and global supply chain to maintain competitiveness, companies require tight integration with partners and automation of processes.
