These days, customers like to have their cars designed just as they want them but, at the same time, are not prepared to wait several months to get their dream car. Many different variants and fast delivery – these two requirements can be fulfilled only when everyone involved in the production and delivery processes throughout the world work in harmony. Globalisation is responsible for increasing complexity in supply chains. Optimising the supply chain – in terms of time, quality and costs – is thus one of the major challenges facing the automotive industry.
