Title
Surveys on production and collaboration aspects in the automotive supply chain
Abstract
Based on desk research and interviews with decision makers of car manufacturers, suppliers and service providers in Europe several studies were worked out. The studies examine the development of the automotive industry in general and the impact of investments in new production facilities in Eastern Europe. The paper summarizes the key findings of the studies and shows that collaboration between OEM and suppliers as well as between suppliers and logistics service providers will change in the future.
