SESSION 4A: A tier supplier’s perspective

Logistics for tier suppliers has become a very lean affair, with continuous cost, delivery and quality pressures, combined with volume increases, faster turnaround requirements for new launches, and a pressing need to find the new people that can meet all these growing challenges. How are suppliers adapting to meet these demands? What are the most important service provider requirements? How can the industry attract the right talent? Is collaboration the ‘silver bullet’? What challenges exist for tier suppliers in delivering faster turnaround at lower cost? How will better visibility of production planning and information sharing create a leaner environment for tier suppliers? This session will look at the best ways for tier suppliers to satisfy the evolving demands of their customers, as the automotive sector continues to reinvent itself.
