Ensure suppliers have multiple locations to pull from. Be on good terms with other local manufacturers, trading and sharing when in a bind may be beneficial to both parties. Ensure inventories are accurate to help eliminate "ghost" items, and this also helps with ordering and predicting future orders as well.

Struggling with supply chain bottlenecks in automotive manufacturing? Optimize your workflow with smart automation, predictive analytics, and agile logistics. Enhance supplier collaboration, reduce lead times, and boost efficiency with AI-driven insights. Stay ahead of disruptions and keep production on track. Ready to transform your supply chain? Let’s streamline your operations for seamless manufacturing success!

Electronic systems have became an increasingly large component of the cost of an automobile Around 1% its value in 1950 Modern rely on power electronic for the main propulsion motor control.

Supply chain bottlenecks in automotive manufacturing can severely impact production efficiency and lead to delays. Streamlining workflow requires a strategic approach leveraging digital tools like SAP Hana, implementing Lean and TOC principles, and ensuring supplier reliability and sustainability. Addressing bottlenecks with proactive planning and agile execution is key. Would love to hear how others are tackling these challenges!

From my point of view the reason for the bottlenecks should be prevented. This is not (only) the shortcome of parts , its also a question on the effort of a change to a different part. Using an automated workflow to define, develop and test the system (part) will deceese the effort, time and risk of a change dramatically, at least if you comare it with the effort etc. if this workflow is not in place. This will even create a chance to change to a higer quality or more powerfull part :-) enables new features (e.g. larger app store memory), or to a cheaper one with same quality :-o Unfortunatly this workflows takes effort to maintain and are often the first things which are stopped or even not introduced (well) at the time of development.

-Make sure all parties involved (customers, parts, techs) are on the same page -Have multiple on-call parts places such as (no order, bc there's no way in hell I'd put NAPA first) NAPA, AAP, API, LKQ, etc, and make sure that parts, service, and the techs know when last call for parts are, ie build redundance -Take accurate inventory of not only LOF parts, but common repairs such as rotors, pads, shims, sensors, belts, etc, to maintain OEM quality and just an FYI Respect your techs :)

Improve collaboration with suppliers of materials needed and upgrade technology of your machines. Also build a strong risk management plan that includes identifying potential risks ,assessing their impact and having contingent plans ready to activate in case of disruptions

Il est avant tout primordial, de concevoir ses projets, à partir de produits et matériaux, ayant déjà fait preuve de leur efficacité et robustesse pour deux raisons : la première est de limiter les pannes potentielles. La deuxième : permettre d’avoir un plus grand choix de fournisseur. il est donc important d’avoir un designer technique pourvue d’une large palette de connaissance, plutôt que de s’appuyer sur de grandes connaissances dans un tout petit domaine…
