Challenges in Spare Parts Management for the Automobile Industry

The automotive industry has hundreds of suppliers and thousands of spare parts units. Due to globalization, the automotive supply chain has been undergoing tremendous changes and the industry has been exploring innovative methods to reduce operating cost, lead time and inventory to sustain their growth in the market.

The Indian auto industry is small in size, compared to the world markets ($ 6.73 billion compared to a world market of $737 billion) but has experienced a growth rate of 20-25% in the past few years. Despite higher raw material costs, higher energy costs and poorer infrastructure in India, multinational OEMs that have entered the Indian market have managed to produce cars that have high local content and are sold at competitive retail prices, largely owing to an efficient supply chain.

The industry landscape is exposed to a set of critical challenges and trends that are leading, if not accelerating, the need to fine-tune supply chain strategies and operations even further. The increasing requirement for real-time information and effective communication across the supply network is critical for managing and optimizing the supply chain on a flexible basis, while keeping costs under control. This means there will be an increase in job opportunities for Spare Parts Operations In-Charges.
