Notas do Editor
-Note the use of platforms
Ensure facilities are fully utilized and/or flexible.Optimize the mix of labor and automation to eliminate wasteUnion-based facilities must give up legacy costs and out-dated rules.Optimize sourcing to find operational gains.
Problems -- Inventory carrying costs are substantial.B. Dealer must sell off previous model years inventory to make room for the next years modelsC. The land itself is expensiveIt’s a problem not only in emerged markets but also in emerging markets!Exporting to other markets is seen as an effective strategy for reducing overcapacity – but for how long?While acknowledging the challenge of overcapacity, many OEMs are still investing in manufacturing plants for cars and trucks in China and India, as they are concerned about losing out to competitors. Nevertheless, it does seem likely that China and India will see some overcapacity within the next few years, so the industry may have to brace itself for some casualties, as it cannot simply expect to continually find new export market.
Other supply chain issues that the automotive industry is working to address include a lack of collaboration in product development, which can lead to product development cycle times of more than 48 months.
On the supply chain side, what this means is flawless execution for a company’s most valuable customers, the ability to manage inventory across all types of customers, and short- and long-term capacity planning that is responsive to customer priorities.For automakers, the network effect delivers higher profitability through quicker time-to-market, more appropriate vehicle content, and better-targeted inventories. At the same time, there is less need for open price competition, and automakers are able to upsell more profitable options and cut back on unwanted and unprofitable ones. Automakers also work jointly with dealers to establish long-term customer relationships, which results in a more loyal and profitable customer base.Integration benefit cycleIntegrationEnhances visibilityIncreased visibility brings out inefficienciesEnables action – collaboration / innovationIncreased customer satisfactionIncreased revenue / profits
