As customers grow more powerful, the automotive industry is forming new relationships with its suppliers. Business-to-business (B2B) commerce over the Internet is breaking down the traditional hierarchical relationships. The supply chain is being transformed into a supply network or a supply community, with the potential for a seamless flow of information between customers, manufacturers, suppliers and partners in the automotive supply chain. Already, hundreds of B2B Exchanges are in operation. The largest vertical exchange, COVISINT, an Internet marketplace for the automotive industry, recently received approval from the US Federal Trade Commission and the German Bundeskartellamt. It seeks to develop a community of trading partners that focuses on the acceleration of the build-to-order and the product development processes of its customers as well as reducing the costs of doing business. The exchange is building a progression of services: procurement, supply community management, and collaborative engineering. The article focusses on the management aspects of this. Some companies may need to rethink their business models. (3 pages)
Giving customers what they want, when they want it, at a reasonable price is the theme of this paper. Traditional manufacturing businesses have often failed to deliver this and are often characterised by long lead-times, many changes of ownership, large batches, and poor process capability. With these constraints often the only way to deliver an acceptable level of customer service has been to hold large inventories and buffer stocks to cover waste in the operations process. The theme of this talk is to describe how TRW Aeronautical Systems, Lucas Aerospace has been responding to increasingly intense competitive pressures in the aerospace industry to deliver ever improving customer service levels whilst at the same time reducing cost. The company undertook a make-versus-buy review. It then identified customer-focussed value streams. Key approaches were change projects, kaizen breakthrough (monthly week-long efforts focussed on one area of the value stream), and daily continuous improvement. Key points are to maintain a value stream focus; to review the change programme weekly at the executive level; to involve senior management in kaizen events; to focus on sustaining what comes out of the events; and to use external change agents to help challenge traditions that are not readily relinquished.
