摘要
The automotive industry acts as a barometer and flagship of the national economy. First tier suppliers are essential enablers in the success of the sector. Here we identify present practices concerning information flow as perceived by typical first tier suppliers. Observations are made via "top pain analysis" facing an individual supplier and "quick scan analysis" on a range of automotive value streams. Major information flow weaknesses encountered in real-world value streams are highlighted. To conclude, we show the "well-trodden path" established for performance improvement as enabled in real-world supply chains.
