Automotive and Engineering
The Automotive and Engineering Industry is a leader of technical innovation and world class manufacturing practices. With 4 of the world’s top 10 companies by sales there is no other manufacturing industry which can compete with the development budgets required to meet rapidly changing consumer demand.
From Ford and mass production to TPS and the present day, the automotive industry has led development of production and improvement methodologies. Today's producers pioneer lean manufacturing, using tools and production techniques across the supply chain to give competitive advantage.
Within automotive supply and speciality engineering, customer pressure to reduce cost throughout the product life cycle affects profit. Large penalties from powerful customers make OTIF critical.
