Players in the automotive industry must be prepared for external factors that will have a long-lasting effect on supply chain infrastructure.

Faced with unknown foreign trade risks, changes in demand patterns and product mix as well as increasing commodity costs, supply chain network planners in the automotive industry face an uphill climb.

With ongoing concerns regarding import taxes on products, components or even material, it is very challenging for them to evaluate tradeoffs for sourcing and production locations. Additionally, supply chain network planners also need to examine the effects of these factors on profits and cost structures within the limits of relevant constraints.

Automotive manufacturers need to optimize value at every step of the supply chain to stay on top of the game.
