Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Globalization has shifted to a level where market competition is tougher. Therefore, multinational companies focus on cutting cost along the company’s supply chain with heavy scrutiny on procurement. Developing countries have become very attractive from which to strategically procure commodities because of low cost labour, especially from the People’s Republic of China. The business complexity, ethics and current market situation in China are often too modestly emphasized. Yet, these elements have a significant impact on the sourcing decision because it indirectly influences the total landed cost of a commodity but is not taken into account. Therefore, the total landed cost on which sourcing decisions are made, does not reflect the actual total landed cost of a commodity. In many cases multinational companies sourcing from China do not realise the impact of the hidden cost involved and do not reach the expected cost savings as calculated. The purpose of this study is to explore why more attention must be paid to hidden cost when automotive commodities are procured from China. This, as well as the research methodology used in order to obtain the data, is explained in chapter one. Chapter two of this thesis illustrates the change in a company’s supply chain and discusses this in a global sourcing context. The sourcing commodity, which is the point of focus in this study, is automotive commodities sourced from China and is discussed in chapter three. Based on China’s increased presence in global sourcing of automotive commodities, chapter four focuses on China’s integration into the global supply chain. The influential factors that have an impact (hidden cost) on the actual landed cost of commodities sourced from China are described in chapter five and identified as guanxi, indirect business logistic obstacles, quality of goods and supply, management, the labour market and training, and Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). In chapter six the influential factors, as described in chapter five, are analysed through a case study of Daimler Chrysler China Limited. Chapter seven is a comparative study of Japan’s miracle economy from 1960-1980 and the current economic trends in China to determine whether it will be feasible to procure automotive commodities from China in the future with regards to the economic indicators.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Globalisering het verskuif na ʼn vlak waar mark kompetisie meer gekonsentreerd is. Daarom fokus multinasionale maatskappye ernstig daarop om kostes langs die aanvoerketting van die maatskappy te verminder deur te konsentreer op die aanskaffingsproses. Ontwikkelende lande het uiters aanloklik geword as bestemming in die strategiese aanskaffingsproses van goedere weens lae arbeidskoste, veral vanaf Sjina. Tans word die besigheidskompleksiteit, etiek en die markkondisie in Sjina meestal onderbeklemtoon. Daarenteen het die faktore ‘n gewigtige impak op die aanskaffingsbesluit omdat dit die totale koste by aankoms indirek beïnvloed. Gevolglik reflekteer die totale koste by aankoms, waarop aanskaffigsbesluite gegrond word, nie die werklike koste van aankoms van goedere nie. In menige gevalle behaal multinasionale maatskappye nie die verwagte kostebesparing soos bereken vir goedere wat vanaf Sjina aangeskaf word nie omdat die multinasionale maatskappye onbewus is van die impak wat die versteekte koste op die totale koste by aankoms het. Die doel van hierdie studie is ‘n ondersoek na die redes waarom daar meer beklemtoning moet wees op versteekte koste wanneer goedere uit Sjina aangeskaf word. Dit, sowel as die navorsingmetodes wat gebruik is om die inligting vir die studie in te win en akkuraat deur te gee, word verduidelik in hoofstuk een. Hoofstuk twee bespreek die verandering in 'n maatskappy se aanvoerketting in ʼn globale aanskaffingskonteks. Hoofstuk drie fokus op redes vir Sjina se toenemende verteenwoordige rol in die globale aanskaffing van goedere en op die aanskaffing van motorvoertuigparte uit Sjina. Met betrekking tot die globale aanskaffing van goedere word die integrasie van Sjina in die globale aanskaffingsketting in hoofstuk vier bespreek. Die beïnvloedende faktore wat 'n impak (versteekte koste) op die werklike koste by aankoms van die motorvoertuigparte wat aangeskaf word vanaf Sjina het, word bespreek in hoofstuk vyf en geïdentifiseer as guanxi, indirekte besigheidslogistiek hindernisse, die kwaliteit van goedere en die aanskaffing daarvan, bestuur in Sjina, die Sjinese arbeidsmark en opleiding in die werksplek, en intellektuele eiendomsreg. In hoofstuk ses word die beïnvloedende faktore (soos bespreek in hoofstuk vyf) geanaliseer deur ʼn gevalle studie van Daimler Chrysler Sjina Beperk. Hoofstuk sewe is ʼn vergelykende studie tussen Japan se wonder ekonomie van 1960-1980 en die huidige ekonomiese tendens in Sjina om te bepaal hetsy dit moontlik sal wees om motorvoertuigparte aan te skaf vanaf Sjina in die toekoms met betrekking tot die ekonomiese indikatore.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: South Africa is currently facing serious socia economic challenges. The AIDS pandemic and wide scale unemployment exacerbates the social dichotomy that is a legacy of the apartheid era. Currently, 50% of the population lives below the poverty line. According to the Growth, Employment and Redistribution policy (GEAR), it would take an accelerated growth rate of more than 6% to enable the socioeconomic challenges to be addressed. The automotive industry is one of the largest manufacturing sectors in the South African economy. In 2002 the industry's overall contribution to GDP was in the order of 6,4%. Due to the size of the industry and the contribution to GDP, the industry has been identified as an arena for sustainable growth. The automotive industry has been extensively transformed from an inwardly focussed entity to an industry that is globally competitive. The Motor Industry development plan has been the driving force behind the restructure initiative. The MIDP was responsible for reforms across the board, including the abolishment of a prescribed local content requirement which poses the challenge to the component sector, of how to overcome the limited local demand for components. The MIDP, through its system of reforms, has assisted in allowing industry role players to successfully penetrate world markets. The component secror is no exception. Assessing the future of the global industry, Mercer Management Consulting predicts that the industry as a whole will invest €2 trillion in capital spending over the next 11 years and the annual automotive production will climb from ±57 million units to about 76 million units in 2015 with an annual growth rate of 2.6%. (Dannenberg & Kleinhans, 2004:88) The study predicts a shift in .focus within the industry such that automotive manufacturers will place emphasis on brand-specific elements while their component manufacturers are predicted to become a growth engine and carry the major portion of the capital investment in their new role as "little automakers" (Dannenberg & Kleinhans, 2004:90). The Mercer study indicates that there is definitely the capacity for growth in the automotive industry specifically the component sector. Various factors are key to the success of global market penetration Le. an innovative and cost effective product, adherence to quality and environmental standards, flexibility of production etc one trait that is notable is the fact that the majority of successful exporters have formed strategic alliances with multinational companies, thus making their penetration of global markets easier. For the South African component manufacturers to capitalize on the future prospects that will become available there needs to be a restructure and transformatlon initiative that addresses the need for development and collaboration. The current reality is that there exists a small number of large enterprises with the majority of component manufacturers being small and medium enterprises, working autonomously. Government as well as many local and international role players have demonstrated their support of the manufacturing sector by providing development and financing avenues. If the sector is to be successful, it is imperative for component manufacturers to take the initiative, pursue finance and development options and create a synergistic network of world-class suppliers who adopt the most up to date technologies to produce high quality, cost effective global market offerings.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Suid-Afrika staar tans ernstige sosio-ekonomiese uitdagings in die gesig. Die VIGS pandemie en grootskaalse werkloosheid vererger die maatskaplike diskrepansie, 'n oorblyfsel van die Apartheid era. Tans lewe 50% van die bevolking onder die broodlyn. Volgens GEAR (die Groei, Indiensneming en Herverdeling beleid) sal dit 'n versnelde groeikoers van meer as 6% verg om die sosio-ekonomiese uitdagings aan te spreek. Die motorindustrie is een van die grootste vervaardigingsektore in die Suid- Afrikaanse ekonomie. In 2002 was dié industrie se totale bydrae tot die BBP in die omgewing van 6.4%. As gevolg van die grootte van die industrie en sy bydrae tot die BBP is dié nywerheid geïdentifiseer op die gebied van volhoubare groei. In die motorindustrie was daar reeds grootskaalse omskakeling vanaf 'n binnewaartsgefokusde entiteit na 'n globaal kompeterende nywerheid. Die Motorindustrie Ontwikkellingsplan (MIDP) was die dryfveer agter hierdie herstrukturerings inisiatief. Die MIDP was verantwoordelik vir hervormings oor die spektrum heen, insluitende die afskaffing van voorgeskrewe plaaslike inhoud beperkings wat 'n uitdaging was vir die onderdele sektor, of maniere om die beperkte aanvraag na plaaslike komponente te oorkom. Die MIDP het deur sy stelsel van hervormings plaaslike nywerheidsrolspelers gehelp om die wêreldmagte suksesvol binne te dring. Die onderdelesektor is geen uitsondering nie. In 'n vooruitskatting van die globale industrie, voorspel Mercer Management Consulting dat die totale nywerheid €2 triljoen in kapitaalbelegging oor die volgende 11 jaar sal spandeer en dat die jaarlikse motorproduksie sal toeneem vanaf. 57 miljoen eenhede na ongeveer 76 miljoen eenhede in 2015 met 'n jaarlikse groeikoers van 2.6%. (Dannenberg & Kleinhans, 2004:88) Die studie voorsien 'n verskuiwing van fokus in die industrie waarvolgens motorvervaardigers klem sal plaas op handelsnaam-spesifieke elemente terwyl dit voorspel word dat hul onderdeelvervaardigers die groei-enjin sal word en die grootste deel van die kapitale belegging sal dra in hulle nuwe rol as "klein motorvervaardigers" (Dannenberg & Kleinhans, 2004:90). Die Mercer studie toon dat daar definitief kapasiteit is vir groei in die motorvervaardigingsindustrie, spesifiek die onderdelesektor. Verskeie faktore is die sleutel tot sukses vir die binnedringing van die globale markte, met ander woorde 'n innoverende en koste-effektiewe produk wat voldoen aan die kwaliteits- en omgewings-standaarde, produksie buigbaarheid, ensovoorts. Een opvallende karaktertrek is die feit dat die meerderheid van suksesvolle uitvoerders strategiese bande gesmee het met multinasionale maatskappye wat hul indringing van die globale markte vergemaklik. Vir die Suid-Afrikaanse onderdeelvervaardigers om te kapitaliseer op toekomstige geleenthede, moet daar 'n heropbou- en transformasie inisiatief wees wat die vraag na ontwikkeling en samewerking aanspreek. Die huidige realiteit is dat daar 'n klein hoeveelheid groot maatskappye is teenoor die meerderheid onderdeelvervaardigers van klein tot meduim grootte maatkappye wat outonoom funksioneer. Die regering sowel as talle plaaslike en internasionale rolspelers het hulle ondersteuning vir die vervaardigings-sektor uitgespreek deur die verskaffing van ontwikkelings- en finansiële bystand. Vir die sektor om sukses te behaal, is dit belangrik vir die onderdeelvervaardigers om inisiatief aan die dag te lê, finansiële en ontwikkelingsopsies op te weeg en die stigting van 'n medewerkende netwerk van wêreldgehalte verskaffers wat die mees moderne tegnologie inspan om hoë kwaliteit, koste effektiewe, globale markaanbiedings daar te stel.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The research report takes an in-depth look at the automotive industry and their major participants in the upstream value chain. The different parties involved are the automotive manufacturers (OEMs) and their suppliers. The overall goal of the following report is to identify suitable business models for small to medium sized (SME) automotive suppliers. As the automotive value chain currently undergoes an evolutionary change towards a diminishing vertical integration of the OEMs, it becomes a challenging issue to reconfigure the responsibilities of the suppliers. Thereby OEMs and their suppliers have to cope with a shift from a functional to a process orientated value chain. During this reorganization of the OEM-supplier interface, enterprises realign their strategic intent towards their core competencies as well. Besides the shifting value chain, both suppliers and OEMs have to cope with a consolidation in their industries. This consolidation is impacted by stagnating traditional markets, an ongoing globalization of the value chain, and an increasing productivity pressure in the automotive industry. Looking at the automotive supplier, it becomes obvious that the suppliers are on the one hand challenged by productivity pressures and on the other hand have the opportunity to take over more business of the automotive value chain. The growth potential requires changes in the area of supply chain management and new types of collaboration in the supply network. This prospective development is mainly influenced by a trend towards the outsourcing of entire processes by the OEMs and the increasing need for future innovations in the automotive industry. After discussing the above mentioned issues, the report analyses the role of suppliers with respect to their main customers, the automotive OEMs. Based on the findings business models for suppliers are assessed and key success factors for small to medium sized suppliers are proposed and evaluated. The findings of the evaluation are translated into suggestions for most suitable business models of SMEs. The report concludes with recommendations for the strategy building process indicates problems concerning the shifting value chain, and points out the importance of further research in the field of the small to medium sized automotive supplier industry.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studieverslag ondersoek die motorvoertuig industrie met verwysing na die hoof deelnemers 'n die opwaartse waarde-ketting. Die partye betrokke is die motorvoertuigvervaardigers (OEMs) asook hul verskaffers. Die oorhoofse doel van die verslag is om gepaste sakeplanne vir klein en medium grootte (SME) ondernemings te identifiseer. Die motorvoertuig industrie se waardeketting ervaar tans 'n drastiese veranderingsproses - gekenmerk deur afnemende vertikale integrasie vanaf die OEMs - wat voortdurende nuwe uitdagings veroorsaak vir die innoverende verskaffer. Beide die OEMs en hul verskaffers moet dus aanpas met hierdie verandering - van funksioneel na proses-georienteerd - in die waarde-ketting. Tydens hierdie herstrukturering van OEM-verskaffer interaksie, moet deelnemers verseker dat die strategiese bedoeling in fyn ooreenstemming is met hul basiese bevoegdhede. Behalwe die verskuiwing in die waardeketting, moet OEMs asook verskaffers aanpas met samesmelting in hulle industrieë. Hierdie proses van samesmelting word beinvloed deur kwynende konvensionele markte, voortgesette globalisasie van die waardeketting, asook toenemende druk om produktief te wees in die motorvoertuig-industrie. 'n Ondersoek in motorvoertuig industrie verskaffers toon dat daar enersyds geweldige uitdagings ervaar word soverre dit produktiwiteitverbetering betref, maar andersyds daar ook geleendhede gebied word vir die verskaffer om verder te integreer deur oornames in die waarde-ketting. Om groei potensiaal te verwesenlik noodsaak dit veranderinge in die veld van verskaffingskettingbestuur, asook nuwe metodes van samewerking in die verskaffingsnetwerk. Hierdie moontlike tendens van integrasie word hoofsaaklik beinvloed deur 'n geneigdheid van OEMs om volledige prosesse te sub-kontrakteur asook deur die toenemende aanvraag vir voortdurende innovering in die motorvoertuig industrie. Laastens ondersoek die verslag die rol van die verskaffer vanuit die oogpunt van hul hoof kliënte, die OEMs. Na aanleiding van die verslag se bevindings word verskaffers se sakeplanne en modelle beoordeel en evalueer en word sleutel suksesfaktore vir die SME verskaffer voorgestel. Die uitslae van die evaluasie word verder verwerk tot in voorstelle wat gepas is vir die sakeplanne van meeste SMEs. Die verslag kom tot voltrekking met aanbevelings in die strategie bouproses rakende die veranderende waardeketting, en dui ook op die noodsaaklikheid van verdere navorsing onder die SME motorvoertuig industrie verskaffers.

Full textWhat factors influence the economic sustainability of local suppliers in emerging markets in the automotive value chain? The answer to this question is not only influenced by the direct and indirect customers of the automotive component suppliers, but it is also influenced by factors on the macro-, meso- and micro-levels of the supplier‟s environment. In order to investigate the research objective, the South African automotive industry is chosen as a case study in the global automotive value chain. The literature review indicates that variables that influence the economic sustainability of suppliers can be found on the global and regional levels of the automotive industry, as well as on the industry and corporate value chain levels. As the theory does not offer a holistic approach for a problem solution, the identified factors are assembled in a conceptual model that measures the economic sustainability of automotive component suppliers with respect to financial dimensions. The conceptual model is structured according to the macro-, meso- and micro-level influences, and also recognises the impact of governance structures on the government, market, industry and corporate levels. The suggested conceptual model is subsequently tested for totality and alignment with industry features using qualitative methods and is furthermore validated by using quantitative modelling data from primary research in the supplier component industry. The analysis of the quantitative data shows that the majority of factors influencing the economic sustainability of local component suppliers can be found on the micro- and meso-levels (corporate value chain and industry value chain), whereas the qualitative data implies that economic sustainability is mainly influenced by factors on the macro- and meso-levels (industrial policy and labour market). This finding shows that there is a discrepancy between the measurable influences and the automotive component suppliers‟ perception of the research problem. Nevertheless, it can be stated that the conceptual model, as supported by the stakeholder group, can be used for further research. Alongside the development of the conceptual model, the industry data is used for a discussion about the status of the South African automotive component supplier industry in order to point out strengths and issues as well as to identify factors that should change or improve to enable a viable future for suppliers.

Resumo: No mercado é possível encontrar grande variação de dispositivos de retenção de crianças, parte destes dispositivos é desenvolvida para acomodar crianças de diferentes grupos de massa definido nos requisitos legais Brasileiros, Europeus e Americanos. Existe sobreposição entre os grupos, permitindo que a mesma criança utilize dispositivos de retenção de diferentes grupos. Este trabalho tem como propósito comparar o comportamento do manequim, que simula ocupante de três anos de idade com 15 kg, em teste dinâmico similar ao da ECE R44 com dispositivo de retenção de criança instalado conforme Grupo I, com cinto de segurança cinco pontos, e quando instalado conforme Grupo II, com cinto de segurança veicular de três pontos. Para suportar as conclusões obtidas foi utilizado dado dos testes de certificação do dispositivo de retenção de criança Grupo I e II. O dispositivo de retenção de criança utilizado neste estudo é certificado conforme INMETRO portaria 38, sendo ancoradas ao equipamento de teste pelo cinto de segurança três pontas conforme indicação do fabricante. Os testes dinâmicos foram executados com trenó que desacelera em função do tempo conforme curva padrão da ECE R44. Esta dissertação conclui que a resposta dinâmica do manequim depende do projeto de instalação do dispositivo de retenção de criança ao veículo e que considerando a menor movimentação da cabeça do manequim e menores lesões da cabeça, aceleração do peito, região pélvica e púbica, o dispositivo de retenção testado instalado conforme Grupo II apresentou melhor desempenho nos testes dinâmicos que o dispositivo instalado conforme Grupo I, portanto o transporte de criança de três anos de 15 kg é mais seguro com o dispositivo de retenção Grupo I
Abstract: Many CRSs models are available in the market; several are developed to accommodaté different mass group children. There is overlap among the mass groups and as consequence the same child can use a different mass group CRS. The purpose of this paper is to compare the dummy kinematic in a dynamic test similar to ECE R 44 with the same CRS design installed according to Group I (five points harness) and installed according to Group II (vehicle's three point safety belt). To support the conclusions the data of CRS Certification test for Group I and II were used. The chosen CRS is certified for Brazilian market according to INMETRO administrative rule 38 and is anchored to the vehicle by its three point safety belt according to the CRS manufacturer's recommendation. The dynamic tests were performed on Sled subjected to the ECE R 44 standard acceleration vs. time curve. The harness loads and vehicle safety belt loads will be gathered and dummy kinematic were recorded with high speed digital cameras. The results are tabulatéd and compared with focus on the relevant performance differences. This study conclude that dynamic dummy response depend on the CRS design used to install the device to the vehicle and considering the lower ATD head excursion, the lower injuries at head, pelvis, pubic and chest acceleration the tested CRS installed according to Group II (five points harness) present better safety performance on dynamic tests than tested CRS installed according to Group I (vehicle's three point safety belt)

Full textNowadays, the manufacturing enterprises are constantly looking for costs reduction, driven by rivalry and competition, which are strong globalization characteristics. In the Toyota Production System (OHNO, 1988), are highlighted the seven wastes which can exist in a manufacturing process and that, consequently, generate costs to the product without, however, adding value to it. Some commonly found wastes are the work-in-process (WIP), raw material or finished products flow wastes. The layout study aims to optimize the layout of facilities inside a process to minimize, among others, the materials flow. This study aims to present a real case of a huge auto parts manufacturer enterprise located in Curitiba, PR, which spends millions a year on layout changes. The object of study is the assembly line of a specifical component that this company manufactures. Using Heuristic methods, it proposes an approach for the layout optimizing of this assembly line. This approach was divided in two stages: in the first one, the cell formation problem (in order to improve the computational time, as well as the solution quality) was solved in order to associate machines to parts. In the second stage, the layout optimizing problem is solved, considering the combination of machines to parts (made in first stage). In both stages the hybrid meta-heuristics approach (tabu search), as well as the Exact method so called Branch-and-Bound (this on first stage), were tested to solve this problem. The results found on layout of facilities were quite promising.

Full textThe automotive industry is the third largest sector in the South African economy and it plays such an important role in the economy, that it is often viewed used as a barometer of the health of the economy. Despite the relatively large number of automotive component manufacturers (ACMs) in South Africa, manufacturing a wide range of automotive components, and the incentives offered by the government to increase the local content of vehicles manufactured in the country, the majority of vehicle manufacturers as well as after-market wholesalers and retailers in South Africa source a greater proportion of their automotive components from foreign suppliers. This may be due to a number of reasons, and in this regard, this study investigated the nature and extent to which ACMs in Gauteng, South Africa, used innovative strategies to remain competitive. A quantitative research design was used, and a self-administered questionnaire was sent to all of the ACMs located in Gauteng. Some of the main findings from the study was that only 48.9% of the respondents had a Research and Development (R&D) department; ACMs ranked their clients, who include motor vehicle manufacturers and original equipment manufacturers, as the most important source of innovation, with existing employees being ranked second, suppliers ranked third, and competitors ranked fourth. The importance of a highly skilled workforce was highlighted by the finding that almost three quarters of the respondents agreed with the statement that new ideas and suggestions from employees had been implemented. Although the local motor vehicle manufacturers purchase most of the automotive components from ACMs located outside South Africa, the finding that 82% of the ACMs surveyed have been in operation for more than 10 years, with 72% of these organisations in operation for more than 15 years, indicates that most local ACMs are financially profitable and have adapted to global competition.

Automotive Industry is a field with high-cost and technology-intensive characteristic and also plays a leading role in industrial sphere. Taiwan automotive and auto-parts production have embedded into international division of labor system since joined World Trade Organization (WTO) in January 2002. Automotive firms emphasizes on expanding export trade market in order to maintain a stable growth. There are nearly three thousand auto-parts suppliers in Taiwan and three hundred of them are in Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), the others provide after-sale service in both domestic and international market. Due to growing global consciousness about environmental protection and related regulation establishment by international organizations, requests of green purchase becomes a trend. This triggers auto-parts suppliers to realize the importance of building competiveness in the green management. Domestic automotive industry has always put efforts in committing green management. However, since previous experiences shows it still chose auto-parts suppliers based economical cost and shipping pace over environmental factors, the lack of environmental factors evaluation makes the implements of green suppliers selection still have a long way to run. How automotive industry provides general or special auto-parts suppliers to enhance their competiveness while getting green suppliers movement in action will become the focus of this research paper. Through conducting Delphi Survey in field expert, this research builds up a system that can apply on the selection of green auto-parts suppliers and also exercising Analytic Network Process (ANP) based on Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DMATEL) to analyze the data of the survey from auto-parts suppliers selection. The results indicate, without focusing on specific suppliers, “cost”, “pollution control”, “eco-design” and “management commitment” are key standards that influence suppliers’ selection. In addition, the cause-effect diagram shows that by approaching “management commitment” and “pollution control” sector can efficiently improve the achievement of key factors. Since “management commitment” is inclined more to the “factor” that influences other standards and also the most in need of improvement as project item, starts from improvement in “management commitment” has its rational incentives. This research thus suggests suppliers must implement the management commitment on “pollution control” and “eco-design” sector, also support the environmental protection policy in order to elevate their competitiveness on green suppliers selection. In aspect of suppliers selection, because green suppliers selections belongs to grey system theory and considering that automotive industry may have special preference on cost and technology depending on various auto-parts suppliers, this research conducts the combination of “Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DMATEL),” “Analytic Network Process (ANP)” and “Grey Relation Analysis (GRA)” to evaluate automotive industry’s overall preference towards five identical auto-parts suppliers. Furthermore, the research diagnoses and analyzes individual importance and performance towards the best three of the suppliers. The research results indicates automotive industry can provide improvement suggestion about the distinguishing features of each special auto-parts suppliers to pursue the goal of having competitiveness enhancement in green supply chain.

Full textThe South African Automotive industry contributes 7% of the country’s GDP. It is part of the global automotive industry as most of the local original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are linked to or owned by global manufacturers. The South African automotive component suppliers are also part of this international automotive market by virtue of supplying components to these automotive OEMs. The purpose of the study is to investigate the influence of costs, quality and on-time delivery on South African automotive component suppliers’ customer relationship. Qualitative research (semi-structured interviews) was used to conduct the research. In this study, the findings indicate that costs, quality and on-time delivery have an influence on South African automotive component suppliers’ customer relationship. The study concludes by highlighting the importance of competitive priorities such as costs, quality and on-time delivery in mediating relationship between South African automotive component suppliers and their customers or original equipment manufacturers

Full textAccording to du Plessis et al., (1994:67), the history of protectionism in trade goes almost as far back as that of trade itself. There are various arguments for the numerous benefits, which can be gained from free trade such as, efficiency and welfare gains. But, despite these benefits, governments have had counter arguments as to why protectionism is justified. Examples of these traditional arguments for protection are, the infant industry argument, the terms of trade argument, protection to increase employment in an industry, a tariff to offset foreign dumping and a tariff to improve the balance of payments. All of these arguments have important gains for the protected economy but could be considered beggar-thyneighbour policies since they are at the expense of the unprotected economy. Various trade instruments are used by governments to intervene in its countries trading activities. These trade instruments are categorised into, tariff, non-tariff barriers and export taxes and subsidies. Both tariff and non-tariff barriers are used to interfere on the import side of trade, whereas export subsidies and taxes are used to interfere with the free flow of exports. Tariff barriers include specific tariffs, ad valorem tariffs, import subsidies, preferential duties, most-favoured nation treatment and offshore assembly provisions. Nontariff barriers include import quotas, "voluntary" export restraints, government procurement provisions, local content provisions, administrative classification and restriction on service trade (du Plessis et al.,1994:67-70). An example of a protected industry in South Africa is the motor industry. The initial protectionist programmes used by the motor industry were characterised by local content policies. These programmes resulted in a heavily protected motor and component industry. In recent years, policymakers have attempted to reduce the level of protection in the industry through the Motor Industry Development Programme (MIDP), in line with the General Trade and Tariff Agreement (GATT). This programme is not only attempting to reduce the use of trade instruments but, also to become globally competitive. This dissertation attempts to evaluate the effects that protectionism, in the form of the Motor Industry Development Programme, has had on the Motor Industry's component suppliers.

To enhance the competitive advantage, the large companies in the manufacturing industry have to train and assist their suppliers which have long-term cooperation relationship through “Supplier Development Program (SDP).” Many researches had pointed out SDP indeed helps the companies bring out the positive benefits. While the advance of supply chain management, enterprises foucs on core competencies and outsources more design and manufacture. Havig the idea of the relationlization of the supplier base, buyer enterprises maintain the fewer key suppliers and increase the dependence on them to continue providing competitive sub-systems and components. Suppliers in turn are reliant on their customers for improvement suggestions and innovation information. With the transition of the buyer-supplier relationship, SDP more emphasizes on the the bilateral interaction rather than buyers’ unilateral resource investment. This paper discusses the suppliers’ attitude and will to participate in the SDP initiated by the buyer enterprise, and analyzes the interaction between SDP and the suppliers’ interior activities from the perspective of the supplier. This research is based on case studies of six 1st.-tier suppliers in Taiwan automobile industry. The case studies reveal that the purchasing standards of the automobile factury affect the suppliers to adopt the strategies. The participation degree of SDP of 1st.-tier suppliers in Taiwan automobile industry is very enthusastical. SDP can assistance the suppliers in their operation management, customer management, and innovation management. SDP improves the suppliers’ business performace in quality as well as cost, and have little direct impact on supplier technology capability.
Molokoane, Lymon. "The sustainability of the South African automotive export leather sewing industry." Thesis, 2006. http://hdl.handle.net/10321/99.
Full textThe South African automotive leather export sewing industry was established in about 1991, when domestic firms were exposed to international markets. The industry’s success was largely attributed to the relatively cheap labour, infrastructure, leather and tax incentives given by the South African government. Interest in investment shown by multinational companies has resulted in significant growth in the industry today. However, at one time, the socio-political status in South Africa meant that the environment in which the industry developed was artificial. Economic, political and cultural conditions were not conducive to export manufacturing due to international sanctions. Consequently, the leather export industry was provided with an opportunity to integrate into the international arena primarily through the Motor Industry Development Programme (MIDP). The MIDP initiative allows South African automotive companies to offset import duties against exports. This duty offset programme aims to encourage firms to focus on high volume production runs and import less popular models that are expensive to produce locally. However, with the inclusion of the Eastern European countries into the European Union, it is expected that the market will become highly competitive. It has already been predicted by Ballard (2002) in a study on the South African leather business that the automotive leather sewing export industry is an “easy-come-easy-go” industry, with its success not linked to any intrinsic advantages South Africa possesses, but due to rebates from the Motor Industry Development Programme. Although South Africa has a number of advantages such as relatively cheap labour, material in leather hides, and a good infrastructure, the automotive sewing industry has yet to establish its efficiency when exposed to open market competition. Therefore, to create a perception of stability for international investors, the industry must seek contact with outside partners for market access, technology and process know-how through collaboration and benchmarking. This study therefore aims to develop a discourse related specifically to the sustainability of the leather export sewing industry as it approaches deregulation.

This research focuses on how the governance mechanisms work and affect firm performance for both manufacturers and their suppliers in a vertical strategic alliance (VSA) and contributes to the following: 1) It advances the understanding of governance by refining the concept into a comprehensive set of mechanisms deployed in VSAs and unfolding their individual characters in governing suppliers. 2) It pioneers in incorporating the supplier’s strategic concerns in the framework and testing the complements of governance mechanisms for better supplier performance. 3) It provides an extensive empirical analysis on the offshore VSA operations of global assemblers in China. The study is unique in moving from a relatively coarse concept of governance “mode” to scrutinize 8 different governance “mechanisms” and in discovering the supplier’s alliance strategy to balance the academic overemphasis on the manufacturer’s view. The execution context is an extensive questionnaire survey toward the auto assemblers and their tier-1 suppliers in China and Taiwan because the auto industry provides relatively stable VSAs for the governance mechanisms and the complements to evolve while China, who attracts global assemblers to establish local supply chains, makes the offshore comparison possible. The final sample contains 188 assemblers and 365 suppliers and the findings yield important strategic implications. Firstly for assemblers, the 8 governance mechanisms, explicit contract, formal reinforcement, informal reinforcement, co-pricing, independent pricing, risk-sharing, R&D involvement and equity control, are fully examined as to the antecedents and the impact on assembler performance. The individual roles of the mechanisms are also revealed and discussed. Secondly for suppliers, different learning mechanisms are identified to associate with different knowledge types, which, when coupled with the appropriate governance mechanisms, are proven to link with better supplier performance. Thirdly, the growth strategy of the supplier is tested and discussed. The supplier is advised to consider several factors in their pursue of different knowledge types. And finally, this research confirms that the Japanese assemblers maintain the keiretsu in their VSAs in China meanwhile more offshore influences are identified on countries of origin, home-town relationships, local knowledge, and JV equity share.

Full textThe opening of the first dedicated Supplier Park by Seat adjacent to its Abrera assembly facility in 1992, in many ways, marked the beginning of a global trend. Since then, more than forty parks in various configurations have been established around the world. Initially, this trend was mostly confined to Europe but the Supplier Park concept quickly gained momentum in newly industrialised countries like Brazil and, more recently, the USA and South Africa (Reichhart & Holweg, 2007: 52). The world’s automotive industry is a vital part of the workings of the global economy and the wellbeing of the world’s citizens (OICA, n.d.). According to the International Organisation of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA, n.d.), the world’s automotive industry manufactured over 66 million cars, vans, trucks and buses in 2005 which is equivalent to a global turnover of close to € 2 trillion. If vehicle manufacturing were a country, it would be the sixth largest economy in the world requiring the direct employment of nearly eight million people in manufacturing the vehicles and the parts that go into them. This is more than 5% of the world’s total manufacturing employment. In addition to these direct employees, many more people are employed indirectly in related manufacturing and service provision industries (OICA, n.d.).
