Automotive Supply Chain Upgrade
Automotive Supply Chain Upgrade
Global project to renew, update and improve the complete supply chain of a premium automotive OEM.Project Highlights
A major German premium Automotive OEM wanted to completely benchmark and upgrade their supply chain at a global level. The main goal was to guarantee supplier worldwide locations, certify market-leading quality, market best research and development, and a manufacturing vision that matched brand expectations. I was involved in the project to research and recognise potential new suppliers and technologies that matched criteria to fulfil their new vision.
A supply chain is made up of thousands of parts and suppliers. Combining expertise and know to completely restructure modules and systems across a new supply chain manufacturing millions of vehicles is always a challenge. The brand was suffering with poor quality compared with main competitors. Mainly due to local suppliers not being able to replicate global standards.
I led a team to create the framework for a premium global supply chain network. The main priorities were to globalise the existing supply chain and improve quality across complete vehicle fleet. The introduction of premium automotive technologies exclusive to this OEM for the complete life cycle of next generation vehicles was also part of the strategy.
The delivered solution ensured OEM regained global market leading position again against premium competitors. Position that still stands today.
