Chain Level

Health crises have an impact on supply chains, mainly by disrupting their regular activities. In this research, the authors have analyzed the impact that the Covid-19 pandemic has made on business relationships between supply chain partners in the automotive industry and their suppliers, which are mostly from territories where the initial outbreak of the SARS COV 2 virus occurred. The analysis shows that in some cases, there is a strong dependency between the pandemic and production levels. Being dependent prevents supply chains from maintaining stability and causes system vulnerabilities. The authors conclude their work with a thesis on the pronounced impact of the current pandemic on automotive supply chain activities. For the analysis to be complete, it is necessary to monitor changes in production levels further, since data for the current year still does not provide a realistic insight into all the consequences at the supply chain level.

Abstract The ultimate goal of this study is to develop a comprehensive and competitive management system to enhance resilience capability of supply chains. In addition, the study aims to identify and eliminate barriers affecting resilience by identifying the factors may cause trouble in the near future. The theoretical framework was established to summarize the significant finding in the area of resilient supply chain and as a guideline for the empirical part. A qualitative approach based on multi criteria decision making process has been adopted in order to gather data through in-depth interviews. The developed method to evaluate resilience capability through supply chains piloted in a sample of five companies involved in an automotive supply chain.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to recognize and model the enablers of supply chain quality risk management (SCQRM) through an empirical study in the Indian automotive companies. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review was conducted to extract the key enablers of quality management (QM) and risk management in the context of manufacturing supply chains. A grey-based DEMATEL method was employed to identify and model the key enablers of SCQRM. Findings The results of empirical study showed that the effectiveness of QM and risk management systems for automotive supply chain is driven by a set of common enablers that could be employed for developing dedicated SCQRM systems. The common causal factors in the model such as the involvement of top leaders, inter-firm communication and strategic-level alignment between supply chain members on both these issues clearly state that there is a need for a broader policy at an early stage. Practical implications It is crucial for the automotive companies to develop and implement structured systems for SCQRM keeping in view the impact of any unaddressed quality risk on missed production targets, vehicle recalls and safety hazards. Originality/value This study ascertains the key enablers of SCQRM with emblematic focus on automotive industry and identifies if there are commonalities in these enablers.

The Impact

The principle of modular production has been applied internally by companies since the 1960's. Innovative companies in various industries are now experimenting with application of the concept in a supply chain setting. Modular production makes it possible to further involve distributors and suppliers in the manufacturing process and create a new tier of suppliers in the automotive industry; that of the “zero‐level supplier”. Expected benefits of the increased integration in the inbound and outbound flow of goods are improved responsiveness to customers and increased efficiency. It can be questioned, however to what extent manufacturers can increase the amount of control over operational activities based on networking, as opposed to control based on ownership, without becoming an empty design and marketing company. This paper assesses the impact of the new model of modular production on the dynamics in supply chains as a whole and the consequences for individual players, based on innovative cases such as that of the SMART car.

Operational Processes

Enterprises in Taiwan are facing global competition which requires enterprises to implement sound business models and maintain effective operational processes. The most pressing need is to develop global logistic processes and models that satisfy rapidly changing business and operational objectives. This research studies how the automotive industry in Taiwan has adopted its logistic hubs to improve international business operations and objectives. In the first phase of the study, Taiwan automotive firms were surveyed and their current (as-is) logistic models were derived. In the second phase, based on the industry characteristics and the company’s global strategy, the improved (to-be) logistic processes were derived. Further, a case of Taiwan automobile manufacturers is used to apply and demonstrate the to-be logistic models and evaluate the performance of the proposed models. The resulting framework for a global logistic hub is designed to improve the operations of automotive companies with respect to time and cost, as well as to ensure information sharing among automotive supply chain partners.

Automotive Supply

The word “green” today connotes less environmentally destructive practises that minimize damage to the environment and decrease the side- effects of modern day living. The challenges of modern day automotive supply chain management and logistics as well as green technology adoption have grown manifold in today’s profit-driven automotive industry. A few of these challenges are explored for- Jiangxi Chuaxing Hau Autos Co. Ltd., one of China’s growing automobile manufacturers and for Toyota, the world’s largest automaker in the following case studies.
