This book was released on 2016 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study was performed to understand the definition and utilization of a key product development enabler, the tools, in the development of Electrical Distribution Systems inside a sample Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The primary purpose of this study was to take in in-depth look at the integration of the system of tools utilized by the commodity department in the development of Electrical Distribution Systems components, and then to identify opportunities for establishing a more efficient system of tools for the compliance of requirements. The study focused on the deliverables required in the fulfillment of requirements as the element for critical comparison. That comparison consisted of the utilization of the current system of tools versus the desired system of tools-a desire system resulting from the fulfillment of requirements that would constitute a "Utopia System". The mapping of deliverables to requirements, and the processing linkage among them were based in the definition of inputs and outputs already identified by the sample OEM for the development of this specific commodity; and the mapping of deliverables to the utilization of tools was enabled by experiential inputs of the author as well as insights gained from interviews with employees at the sample OEM. Structural representations allowed for a better and thorough comprehension of the mapping of deliverables and provided a foundation for understanding the challenges embedded in the desired objective: clustering existing tools for an improved and more effectual integration. Specifically, the mapping of deliverables to the utilization of the current system of tools, allowed for the analysis of efficiency levels and the identification of opportunities for redundancy avoidance. Considering the challenges and sudden changes constantly faced by those in the automotive industry, including those of this OEM, the proposal for optimizing the system of tools was based on network metric comparisons between the current system of tools and the desired system of tools. The proposal for integrating a better system of tools then concluded with a step-by-step plan that could be utilized as an approach for continuous improvement of this key enabler of the product development process-the tools. The desire of this "vision" would be that such optimization would then lead to performance metrics improvements for the EDS department and the product development organization as a whole.

Download or read book Automation in Automotive Industries written by Anna Comacchio and published by Springer. This book was released on 1999 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: G. Volpato, A. Camuffo, A. Comacchio 1.1 The background During recent years the dynamics of automotive industry and its supply chain has catalysed the attention and the research effort of a wide international group of scholars as: the International Motor Vehicle Program (JMVP) of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Permanent Study Group for the Automobile Industry and Its Employees (GERPISA) of Paris, and the International Car Distribution l Programme (ICDP) of Solihull. This favoured the publication of relevant studies and the growth of networks of academicians and practitioners interested in studying the patterns of industry evolution and in organising meetings to present and discuss issues of common interest. In 1992 some members of these research projects decided to organize a first conference in Berlin dedicated to the main theme of automation and organization in the automobile industry. In 1993 a second conference took place in Tokyo, followed by a technical visit to a few automobile manufacturers and components suppliers plants (Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, etc.).

This book was released on 2012-04-05 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Supply, Production, Logistics, grade: 5/5 , Chalmers University of Technology Foundation Göteborg, course: Distribution Network , language: English, abstract: This paper focuses on the distribution practices used by the company responsible for Volvo Cars’ spare parts and after-sale services, Volvo Car Customer Service (VCCS). VCCS has more than 1500 sales units in Europe, 400 in North America and 500 in rest of the world, with about 23000 employees at its dealers and workshops. The two main goals of VCCS are to increase customer satisfaction and to increase the volume of part sales. The empirical part in this paper is used for illustration of current distribution practices with special focus on spare parts in the automotive industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When James Womack, Daniel Jones, and Daniel Roos wrote THE MACHINE THAT CHANGED THE WORLD in 1990, Japanese automakers, and Toyota in particular, were making a strong showing by applying the principles of lean production. However, the full power of lean principles was unproven, and they had not been applied outside of the auto industry. Today, the power of lean production has been conclusively proved by Toyota's unparalleled success, and the concepts have been widely applied in many industries. Based on MIT's pioneering global study of industrial competition, THE MACHINE THAT CHANGED THE WORLD offers a groundbreaking analysis of the entire lean business system, including product development, supplier management, sales, service, and production - an analysis even more relevant today as GM and Ford struggle to survive and a wide range of British abd American companies embrace lean production. A new Foreword by the authors brings the story up to date and details how their predictions were right. As a result, this reissue of a classic is as insightful and instructive today as when it was first published.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject Economics - Industrial Economics, grade: 1.0, Otto Beisheim School of Management Vallendar (Institute for Industrial Organization), course: Strategic Competition and European Competition Policy, language: English, abstract: The present paper discusses the new legal framework for the automotive distribution, which has been set by regulation 1400/2002 of the European Commission, and clarifies the underlying rationale of this so-called block exemption. To this end, the relevant market has been analysed along the structure conduct performance paradigm. Additionally, the existing trends, e. g. the changing consumer preferences, the changing technological standards, and an increasing number of independent service chains, were investigated to integrate the dynamics into the model. In this context the meaning and the impact of the regulation have been detailed with respect to consumer welfare.The analyses have shown that the new regulation complies with the guiding principles of competition policy and thus fosters competition in the industry. This stands in contrast to its predecessors, which were influenced by lobbying of the car industry and had thus laid the foundation for a heavily regulated business. As shown in this paper, a leap towards increased consumer welfare has been made by weakening the market power of the industry. Among others, the separation of sales and services, the permission of multi-brand outlets and the ban of price discrimination can be named as examples for reforms brought forward in the regulation. Furthermore, the so-called location clause will be abolished as of October 2005, which means that dealerships are allowed to open new outlets anywhere in the common market without the consent of the manufacturer. However, in the course of disallowing vertical restraints, of which some had previously helped to secure efficiencies in the value chain, a relative welfare loss has also developed. For instance, the increased free-riding issues could inspire a development to the detriment of the consumer and the convergence of prices at a high level could be disadvantageous to consumers in low income member states. Although the regulation has already come a far way, the critique that is voiced at the end of this paper, shows that there is significant room for improvement, once the regulation expires in 2010. Key points are the price convergence towards the level of the high price countries, some inconsistencies in the regulation and a possible loss of intangible consumer welfare. In the end whether the additional welfare surplus outweighs the new welfare loss has to be decided on a per country basis.
