Automotive supply chain resiliency services

Traditional automotive companies are facing geopolitical uncertainties, policy issues, and supply risk, among other automotive industry supply chain challenges. Often, these challenges leave them struggling to achieve supply chain resilience.

Most companies have launched initiatives to increase end-to-end resilience, but many automobile supply chain issues remain. For example, companies are still looking for:

  • Accelerated reshoring of automotive procurement. Reshoring can help to reduce parts shortages and hence line stoppages.
  • A strategic approach to building resilience. Too  many automakers and suppliers have been relying on tactics like holding “just-in-case” inventory.
  • A stronger focus on automotive supply chain sustainability. Current resilience initiatives sometimes neglect sustainability goals.
  • Greater trust between manufacturers and suppliers. Building trust requires more accurate and timely forecasting of parts requirements.

More generally, companies want to redefine automotive supply chain processes so that they become a source of strategic competitive advantage. End-to-end resilience across the automotive supply chain.
