ABTF competence area: Supply Chain Management
Current situation in the industry
The consolidation process in the automotive industry continues unabated. Continued cost pressure on nearly all the main modules of a vehicle leads to increased pressure for innovation among suppliers and thereby increasing investment - and capital requirements for new ways of production. The suppliers have to play the role of partners to the OEM. Instead of supply chains networks develop. However, supplier networks are very complex structures. Contract Manufacturing and the running of complete logistic centers are just one example of such structures. Processes, resources and information must be closely coordinated.
