The automotive company has seen immense change as it battles the changing economic situation. Recent developments have seen the traditional model of scale-driven, push based operations being challenged by innovative operations models which facilitate more customization.

As auto companies dealt with globalization by increasing outsourcing their supply chains are now characterized by a huge network of various tiers of suppliers. Ensuring faster time to market of new products and on-time deliveries to meet demand has become a challenge in the face of reduced visibility over this extended supply chain.

The industry is also seeing a shift from push based systems to more demand driven pull based systems. This requires demand data to be communicated across the supply chain as quickly as possible. The distribution chain must also be revamped to reduce replenishment lead times in order to effectively implement a pull based system.
