Abstract: Abstract The automotive industry represents a significant contribution to the global economies by manufacturers, suppliers, logistics companies, distributors or third parties. The Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) are nowadays more focused on leaner supply chains, which integrate suppliers and customers with the own operations. Enterprises will have to continue to innovate to adapt to changing consumer demand and regulatory changes. The OEMs are outsourcing non-core competencies to raw materials, component and systems supplier and must therefore create the optimal transparency of materials and information flows. In addition, it is visible that other activities, i.e. research & development, product development or logistics services, are carried out by third parties. The same trend is visible on the customer side (downstream). Customers wish to obtain their products immediately after the placement of orders, which has a significant impact on the entire value chain, too. Another trend is the competition on a global basis. Customers expect more value and functions for lower cost from the OEMs.
