Thibideau and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Firms in the North American automotive industry that fail to earn access to supplier resources more effectively than their rivals are at a significant competitive disadvantage. The purpose of this study was to determine if customer coercive and non-coercive power impact preferential access to supplier resources (herein, preferred customer status), and if supplier trust of the customer moderates the relationship between these variables. Quantitative survey data from 228 tier-two suppliers in the North American automotive industry who were most knowledgeable about the exchange relationship with their customers (i.e., tier-one firms) found that: H1) coercive power from the customer in the form of threats and punishment has a negative impact on preferential access to the supplier’s most qualified employees; H2) non-coercive power from the customer has a positive impact on preferred customer status; H3) trust does not moderate the impact of coercive power on preferred customer status; and H4) trust does moderate the impact of non-coercive power on preferred customer status. Thematic analysis of one open-ended question suggests suppliers consider both the strategic nature of the customer-supplier relationship and the anticipation of profitable revenue growth when awarding customers preferred status. Analysis of the effects of supplier type found early supplier involvement in customer new product development may foster strategic supplier-customer relationships and activate supplier reciprocal investment of resources in the relationship. Three practical recommendations are derived from this study: 1) preferred customer status can be earned through non-coercive power (e.g., incentives and respect); 2) customer strategies to become a preferred customer should include initiatives to increase supplier perception of the customer’s business skills and promotion of the customer’s success in the market; and 3) customers who seek preferential access to supplier resources should have active strategies for trust-building.

Book Synopsis Outsourcing vs. Insourcing in the Automotive Industry. The Role and Concepts of Suppliers by : Christian Nitschke
Download or read book Outsourcing vs. Insourcing in the Automotive Industry. The Role and Concepts of Suppliers written by Christian Nitschke and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2005-07-03 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2005 in the subject Engineering - Industrial Engineering and Management, grade: 2,0, Stellenbosch Universitiy, course: Operations Management, language: English, abstract: The research report takes an in-depth look at the automotive industry and their major participants in the upstream value chain. The different parties involved are the automotive manufacturers (OEMs) and their suppliers. The overall goal of the following report is to identify suitable business models for small to medium sized (SME) automotive suppliers. As the automotive value chain currently undergoes an evolutionary change towards a diminishing vertical integration of the OEMs, it becomes a challenging issue to reconfigure the responsibilities of the suppliers. Thereby OEMs and their suppliers have to cope with a shift from a functional to a process orientated value chain. During this reorganization of the OEM-supplier interface, enterprises realign their strategic intent towards their core competencies as well. Besides the shifting value chain, both suppliers and OEMs have to cope with a consolidation in their industries. This consolidation is impacted by stagnating traditional markets, an ongoing globalization of the value chain, and an increasing productivity pressure in the automotive industry. Looking at the automotive supplier, it becomes obvious that the suppliers are on the one hand challenged by productivity pressures and on the other hand have the opportunity to take over more business of the automotive value chain. The growth potential requires changes in the area of supply chain management and new types of collaboration in the supply network. This prospective development is mainly influenced by a trend towards the outsourcing of entire processes by the OEMs and the increasing need for future innovations in the automotive industry. After discussing the above mentioned issues, the report analyses the role of suppliers with respect to their main customers, the automotive OEMs. Based on the findings business models for suppliers are assessed and key success factors for small to medium sized suppliers are proposed and evaluated. The findings of the evaluation are translated into suggestions for most suitable business models of SMEs. The report concludes with recommendations for the strategy building process indicates problems concerning the shifting value chain, and points out the importance of further research in the field of the small to medium sized automotive supplier industry.

This book was released on 2007-08 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2006 in the subject Business economics - Customer Relationship Management, CRM, grade: B-, University of Leicester (Management Center), language: English, abstract: The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate the importance of CRM in a specific industry for a specific company. More precisely, this work will explore the automotive supplier industry; and within that industry, the company Y will be analysed, discussed and explored. Y is a supplier of aluminium tubes and aluminium profiles to the global automotive industry. The research will encompass several key areas in an effort to present a multi-perspective work, including best practices, an overview of CRM, and key factors of success as well as an automotive industry survey that the author administered, documented and integrated into this dissertation to add an element from the real business world to the research. First, a broad overview of relevant CRM theories and their meaning will be presented in order to set the stage for a discussion of Y as a specific competitor in the automotive supplier industry and to facilitate realistic and effective comparison and contrast between industry trends and the chosen company in particular. Following the CRM theory overview, differences between business-to-business and business-to-consumer markets will be differentiated for a complete understanding of these two distinct segments of the industry. Success factors within CRM will be presented, together with the limitations and problems associated with the application of CRM. After that supplementing theories beyond CRM will be identified and discussed. A literature review will be included to add substance and relevance to the research. In the second part of this dissertation, a survey will be presented that the author composed and administered towards Y's business-to-business automotive customers. After the survey and methodology is discussed, an analysis of the results of the survey will

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NIST's Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory (MEL) is developing standards that promote interoperability among members of the U.S. automotive supply chain. This study assesses the costs of imperfect interoperability to the U.S. automotive supply chain and describes the sources of these costs. This study estimates that imperfect interoperability imposes at least $1 billion per year on the members of the U.S. automotive supply chain. By far, the greatest component of these costs is the resources devoted to repairing or reentering data files that are not usable for downstream applications.
Book Synopsis Supplier-Focused Knowledge Management in the Automobile Industry and Its Implications for Product Performance by : C. Lakshman
Download or read book Supplier-Focused Knowledge Management in the Automobile Industry and Its Implications for Product Performance written by C. Lakshman and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focuses on the impact of knowledge management in supplier relations (termed as supplier-focused knowledge management, SFKM) within the automobile industry of an emerging economy (Brazil), on financial and product performance. A model of the relationship between supplier-focused knowledge management, including its associated processes, and performance is described and the associated hypotheses are developed and then tested. Knowledge sharing through face-to-face communication is positively related to both product and financial performance, while technological knowledge sharing has a positive impact on product performance under conditions of high technological dynamism. Supplier involvement in the production process is related to product performance and use of knowledge management tools is related to financial performance. The results support the major hypotheses of our SFKM model. These results are discussed in the context of the knowledge management and supplier-relations literatures in terms of the contributions, implications for research and practice, and directions for future research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research focuses on the process of growth in the automobile industries in the ASEAN region. ASEAN is drawing attention both from the vantage point of its position as an automobile-producing region and as a potential automobile market. Thailand in particular has long treated automobile production as a national strategy, and this research puts considerable focus on Thailand's initiatives. Since 2012, the authors have been carrying out on-site surveys and have visited many of the suppliers that form the local automobile industry; this published research represents a summary of those findings. The fields of specialty of this study’s respective authors differ, so analyses have been made from a range of vectors. In particular, the focus is on the supply chain in what is generally referred to as a keiretsu.

Download or read book Sustainable Supplier Management in the Automotive Industry written by Mario Binder and published by Novinka Books. This book was released on 2010 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The omnipresent global economic crisis has had a particularly dramatic effect on the global automotive industry. It has increased the need for a 3rd revolution and the move towards mass-collaboration between all industrial players that may ultimately lead to a governance model based on partnership-focused collaborative relationships. The first two revolutions were led by the US and Japan respectively, but we propose that this time, the European automotive industry will lead the way in the 3rd revolution. This book provides an operations and supply chain management perspective while focusing on the issue of sustainable supplier management.
Book Synopsis Product Innovation and Knowledge Protection in the Relationship Between Automotive First-tier Suppliers and OEMs in China by : Thomas Hiebaum
Download or read book Product Innovation and Knowledge Protection in the Relationship Between Automotive First-tier Suppliers and OEMs in China written by Thomas Hiebaum and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The entry of China into the globalized world and onto the stage of the global automarket has presented auto manufacturers with the largest ever market opportunity. While global competitive forces drive firms to develop product innovation through their global supply chains, the approach of global auto manufacturers and their first tier suppliers has been to bring existing technology into China. Only recently has the supply chain in China become integrated into the global product innovation cycle. While innovations generated by supply channel relationships, as opposed to individual partners, are playing an increasingly important role in the success of all supply chain partners, there has been limited research in the literature on how supply chain relationships cultivate the process of such innovation generation, particularly in China. Correspondingly, this study explores how multinational suppliers can develop adaptive product innovation in order to create a sustainable competitive advantage in China and how the protection of their knowledge helps them sustain it. Drawing on the knowledge-based view and transaction cost economics, and integrating those with behavioural governance and the institution-based view this study identifies drivers of product innovation for MNC suppliers in their relationships with Chinese OEMs, investigates the influence of supplier involvement and knowledge protection on supplier product innovation and examines the outcomes in the specific context of the Chinese automotive industry from the first-tier supplier perspective. Survey results of 170 multinational automobile suppliers in China indicate support for most of the hypotheses. Specifically, knowledge protection is found to have an impact on product innovation in the context of the auto industry in China. Supplier involvement in co-design and co-development with an automotive OEM customer has an inverted U-shaped relationship with product innovation. Furthermore, trust and technological uncertainty are found to drive greater product innovation. In addition, the institutional environment moderates the effect of product innovation on performance. Overall, this study enhances the understanding of how MNC suppliers can acquire local knowledge, develop products adapted to the local market requirements and foster product innovation while retaining their knowledge and know-how and minimizing negative effects of spill-overs to the local competition in the automotive industry in China.
