How to Compete and Win in Auto Parts Manufacturing
|
| Executive Summary:
The auto parts industry (and Detroit's finest OEM's) are in trouble.
Profits are down, price concessions are being demanded, and manufacturing
costs are spiraling out of control. While it's never easy in auto
parts, this is clearly the worst its been in the last 25 years.
However, not all auto parts manufacturers are in trouble. Some
are doing remarkably well. PQA has carefully researched what makes
the difference between consistent success and barely surviving.
Research shows that parts manufacturers can give price reductions to
OEM customers as high as 7.65% per year on an on-going basis, while
maintaining the same profitability.
