EQM Automotive SCM

The automotive industry is extremely dynamic due both to its ability to adapt and its competitiveness, and as such, it has to face important challenges to guarantee its future.

Spain is the second largest car manufacturer in Europe and the eighth in the world, accounting for 10% of its GDP and 19% of its exports. The leading brands operate in the country with seventeen manufacturing plants in Spain and more than one thousand component and equipment manufacturers within the industry's supply chain.

Flexibility of the industry

In the automotive industry, as in many other industries, it is the customer who chooses the product and demands its customisation. This has placed flexibility at the base of the pyramid as one of the key qualities of companies in the industry that want to provide a rapid response to their customers, their suppliers, and the market.

Car manufacturers build a four-sided strategic cube:

  • reduction of costs
  • greater flexibility of the business structure by technological means
  • restructuring of the supplier system
  • globalisation and internationalisation of procurement

What's more, the introduction of just-in-time production models has forced suppliers to adapt their production rates to the demands of companies. This is why companies have implemented strategies (with certain differential nuances) that have a series of common features: an intense development of process innovations. This has been possible thanks to organisational innovations in production phases to enable competitive improvements.
