Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify and analyse the most valued practices of sustainability, as well as factors related to environmental, financial, and operational performance considered in the process of selecting and developing suppliers to members of supply chains in the Brazilian automotive sector. Design/methodology/approach – The method used was a literature review examining the subject and exploratory-descriptive field research. The data collection instrument was a survey of companies using a five-point Likert scale. The data were treated by descriptive statistics. Findings – The practices most valued by companies involve eliminating or reducing the use of hazardous substances. These practices are evaluated in the selection, development, and environmental performance assessment of suppliers. Operational performance was most valued by companies, with highlighted practices including the amount of products delivered on time, commitment to quality management, delivery time, and order compliance rate. Research limitations/implications – The investigation and its findings are still relatively exploratory. Future research can investigate automakers’ requirements of suppliers in its supply chain in terms of sustainability and the actions of suppliers to meet these requirements. Originality/value – There are few sustainable practices that are valued by companies within the supply chain of the automotive sector. Major changes are needed because companies must respond to increasing demands by government regulations, whose goal is sustainability. Such pressures are of little importance to the companies in the automotive supply chain located in Brazil.

Abstract:
Purpose There is a great reliance on fiscal incentives to sustain the automotive industry competitiveness due to several structural problems, among them the inefficiency of the supply chain. This paper aims to compare the supply chain structure of traditional automotive industry with the supply chains from South Korea and China. Based on strategic decision and transaction cost theory, this comparison seeks to exploit the factors that led to the inefficiency of automotive supply chains. Design/methodology/approach The authors used a qualitative approach and applied a multi-method research. They conducted semi-structured interviews with six executives from automakers representing the selected countries, carried individual meetings during one workshop and used secondary data from several sources. Findings Concepts identified in the research such as reliability, supply chain governance and automaker competencies led the authors to propose that the traditional automakers have higher transaction costs when compared to the new automakers due to the horizontal structure of their supply chain. While new competitors have vertical upstream supply chains, which indicates better profitability, traditional automotive industry is horizontal, depends on fewer Tier 1 suppliers and is disconnected from Tier 2, impacting negatively in the transaction costs and supply chain management. Practical implications This study suggests that automotive executives rethink the current upstream supply chain model by identifying the competencies required for their current and future competitiveness and implementing a vertical integration of these competencies. Originality/value This research exploited the inefficiency of supply chain as one of the explanations for the low competitiveness of the national automotive industry.

Abstract:
Suppliers have a particular role to play in assuring competitiveness in supply chains. This article investigates the relationship between first and second tier suppliers in automotive supply chains in South Africa. Automotive component suppliers (first tier suppliers to assemblers (OEMS) such as Toyota) should make an extra effort to retain their suppliers (second tier), particularly suppliers of strategic parts, to assure the best value adding by the suppliers in the highly competitive supply chain landscape. To assure best value from suppliers they need to be retained in an active trusting, long term, collaborative relationship. The more the customer trusts the supplier, the higher the perceived value of the relationship and the more likely parties will work together to retain the business relationship. The aim of this quantitative study amongst first tier suppliers is to obtain more insight into the relationships and the hierarchical correlation between the relationship value, trust and supplier retention in automotive supply chains in South Africa. With a regression analysis it was found that both trust and relationship value are substantial predictors of supplier retention, but trust is more important for supplier retention.

Abstract:
In this article, we draw on the global production networks (GPNs) and global value chains perspectives to examine the regional development effects of economic upgrading in the Czech automotive industry between 1998 and 2008. We investigate how the position of Czech-based automotive firms in GPNs affects the intensity of upgrading and the amount of value captured for the benefit of the host regions through wages, corporate taxes revenues and reinvested profits. Based on the statistical analysis of firm-level data aggregated at the micro-regional level, the intensity of economic upgrading and value capture is measured for groups of regions and for different tiers of the automotive value chain. The results suggest large differences in profitability and value capture between the regions hosting vehicle assembly firms and those hosting component suppliers.

Abstract:
As the world economy has become increasingly integrated the spectre of transnational supply chains has become a central feature of globalisation. The smooth and unfettered working of transnational supply chains has facilitated efficiency increasing changes to business operations (such as just in time inventory management). The automotive sector worldwide has been at the forefront of internationally integrated supply systems. The European Union (EU) has, in part, been structured to reduce friction in Europe-wide supply chains through the single market. Transnational supply chains are at the heart of United Kingdom (UK) – EU trade, and the UK’s departure from the EU’s single market (Brexit) will increase friction in international trade. This case study of the UK’s automotive sector uses a social network approach to analyse supply chain linkages between the UK, EU and other trading partners, and how these could be impacted as a result of Brexit. We use data from Trade in Value Added (TiVA) and World Input-Output Database (WIOD) to map supply chains, estimate total value-added in exports and examine how Brexit is likely to impact the competitiveness of UK exports. Results confirm that the UK’s automotive sector is closely integrated with the EU. To offset the loss of UK’s export competitiveness after Brexit, trade facilitation measures complemented with a duty drawback scheme could be an option in the short run. Policy measures are, however, unlikely to replace the benefits of duty-free and frictionless access enjoyed under single market trading arrangements. This suggests that the UK automotive sector, which is primarily comprised of globally active firms, may have to reconfigure supply chain arrangements and in the long run alter how decisions pertaining to locations are made. Keywords: Brexit, global value chains, input-output linkages, WIOD.

Abstract:
Manufacturing companies have traditionally focused their design and development activities on realizing technical and engineered aspects of physical artifacts based on performance requirements. The ever-changing business climate, with its increased pace during the past decades, has forced industries to continuously innovate their approach toward the development of new products. Pressured also by global competition, manufacturing companies need to reconsider the traditional concept of realizing value via goods production, and shift towards realizing value through product-service combinations. Companies have begun to recognize that gaining competitive advantage and expanding market shares is not achievable purely through continuous technical improvements. Rather, it is necessary to develop a closer relationship to the customer to gain a deeper understanding of expectations, needs, and perceived value. From a development perspective, the overarching problem within complex systems such as those in which cars, aircraft, and excavators are manufactured, or healthcare is provided, is that the focus on customer value is likely to become blurred since it is difficult to understand the impact a change in any single component in the overall system has on value, and to determine a new function’s impact on future scenarios. The main goals of this thesis are to provide an understanding of key challenges when considering the value different design alternatives provide in the conceptual phases of product development taking the automotive industry as case study, and to explore how to support a multi-disciplinary design team in making value-conscious decisions when dealing with new product-service offerings. The research approach has involved data collection through participation in, and facilitation of, product-service design workshops in the automotive industry. Also, it has involved follow-up meetings and interviews, as well as a review of literature on state-of-the-art methods in early conceptual design phases, which describes the advantages and disadvantages of the different frameworks. The primary finding of the study is that determination of the impact of different PSS design options on customer value becomes more challenging since new elements are introduced (e.g., new business models and services). The design team requires more holistic competences in order to more fully understand changing contexts; and new methods and tools are needed in order to establish a base to define, discuss and assess what “uncontested customer value” is, and link it to the different product-service elements of the system. Secondly, this thesis proposes a conceptual approach for value simulation and assessment of different design options, where the iterative use of personas and scenario generation is combined with value modeling and computer-based simulation techniques, enabling a quick “what-if” analysis of the various options, facilitating the identification of promising combinations of product and service elements that provide higher customer value.

Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references
The purpose of this study was to analyse the Automotive Industry in Southern Africa, to assess how best Lesotho can contribute to this supply chain. This analysis was done to better understand the sector, to identify Lesotho's potential to produce car seat covers for South African automotive assembly plants, and find the best trade policies and programmes to support value chains in the sector. The plan was to assess the possibility for Lesotho made automotive components manufacturers to supply the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs - the main automotive assembly plants), and use the South African Automotive Industry as the entry point for the Lesotho components to penetrate the Regional Automotive Value Chain. The main focus of this study was the manufacturing of car-seat covers to supply the seven Original Equipment Manufacturers namely: Volkswagen, BMW, Renault, Toyota, Daimler Chrysler, Ford and Mercedes Benz. The impact of Motor Industry Development Programme (MIDP) and Automotive Production and Development Programme (APDP) on the industry was assessed. The impact of the APDP on relocation of components manufacturers to other Southern African Customs Union (SACU) countries was assessed, Lesotho being used as a case study. It set out to find out if Lesotho firms have the potential to contribute to the automotive value chains through manufacture of car seat covers.

Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2011.
What 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.

Abstract:
The internationalization of Chinese companies is a new reality. This is even more innovative if we isolate Chinese private firms and in particular those having businesses in developed countries as targets. If the first internationalizations of Chinese private firms to developed countries showed us less than optimal results; the latest show mixed outcomes. Interestingly, some of the latest firms with positive results are breaking through stable and complex global value chains, such as the automotive industry, to become first tier suppliers to transnational assemblers and even acquire large and apparently more capable first-tier global suppliers in developed countries. Based on the relevant literature, namely: automotive global value chain (Holweg et al., 2009; Humphrey & Memedovic, 2003; Sturgeon & Lester, 2004; Sturgeon & Van Biesebroeck, 2011; Thun, 2001); developing countries firms internationalization (Boisot & Meyer, 2008; Buckley et al., 2007; Child & Rodrigues, 2005; Dunning, 2006b; Luo & Tung, 2007; Mathews, 2006); and Chinese business system (Redding & Witt, 2009; Whitley, 1992, 1999b; Witt & Redding, 2013a, 2013b; Zhang & Whitley, 2013); this is not expected. This is why we decided to thoroughly understand the dynamic capabilities of one of such firms. Using an in-depth case study the analysis was performed with an integrative tri- perspective approach using institutional, industrial and firm levels. The starting point was on the understanding of the dynamic capabilities that the Chinese firm had since its incorporation until become a first-tier supplier to a transnational assembler followed by its internationalisation. Delving deeper into the internationalisation of the organisation, the study analysed, using the business system framework, how the Chinese firm was able to acquire and manage its new acquisition, which had superior tangible and intangible capabilities, and successfully overcame the predictable clashes that such a setting creates. This is in line with the call for exploratory research (Deng, 2012; Meyer, 2014; Narula, 2012; Ramamurti & Singh, 2009) due to the still infancy of the problem under study, the anecdotal descriptions, and the lack of reliable quantitative data. Our findings show us a Chinese firm with specific and divergent dynamic capabilities since its incorporation, when compared with the expected and typical companies, that should have emerged from the Chinese business system. A clear focus in a unique industry associated with the ambition, yet constraints, to become a global company, combined with the necessity of an industrial upgrade, and a deliberate strategy that allowed the firm to become a turnover company of €1 Billion in less than ten years. Furthermore, the long-term vision of the group and the use of a supportive partnering strategy for the post- acquisition period has been an essential component of the firm's success. Finally, we found that the firm has been joining disperse competences and resources it was lacking, using different dynamic capabilities, by grouping and directing them into a specific well-stated vision. From a theoretical perspective, these findings are particularly important since they do not support the institutional arbitrage literature nor accommodate the current different theoretical extensions on international business literature. From an empirical sense we explain that firms are not fate to integrate in a post M&A period and describe how this can be achieved.

Abstract:
Allied Motion Technologies Inc. is a global group that develops, manufactures,assembles and sells electric motors with associated transmission and electric driveadapted to customers in industries such as vehicles, manufacturing industry, medicaltechnology, defense and security, etc. Allied Motion, Bromma in Stockholm, hasdevelopment and installation of, among other things, control servos and gearboxes forstorage trucks and other components for the automotive industry. Allied Motion seesan integration of IATF 16949:2016 as a necessity to further enter the automotiveindustry. At present, they therefore need to understand where they are in relation tothe optimal situation to certify themselves against IATF 16949:2016. The purpose ofthe project is to provide support for Allied Motion's management for decisions onplanning and starting work on certification of the automotive quality standard IATF16949:2016 by creating the conditions for systematic integration work. The projecthas developed a tool for systematic and continuous mapping and analysis ofrequirements compliance IATF 16949:2016 that has been used and tested during theproject. Results and analysis show that certification against IATF 16949:2016 isjustified for Allied Motion but there is a need to create sense of urgency. Decisionsmust be made on how and when to implement IATF 16949:2016 and a project mustbe defined and resources dedicated. Activities in future projects with integration areall about modernizing the current operating system while gradually adding IATF16949.
Allied Motion Technologies Inc. är en global koncern som utvecklar, tillverkar, monterar och säljer ett brett utbud av elmotorer med tillhörande transmission och elektrisk drivning anpassade för flera branscher såsom fordon, tillverkande industri, medicinteknik, försvar och säkerhet. På Allied Motion, Bromma finns utveckling och montering av bland annat styrservos och växellådor till lagertruckar och andra komponenter till automotive-industrin. Inom automotive-industrin finns ett ständigt växande krav på leverantörer att arbeta efter kvalitetsledningsstandarden IATF 16949:2016, som 2016 ersatte ISO/TS 16949:2009. Allied Motion ser en integrering av IATF 16949:2016 som en nödvändighet för att ytterligare komma in i automotive-branschen. Syftet med projektet är att bidra med underlag till Allied Motions ledning för beslut om planering och start av arbetet mot certifiering av automotive-kvalitetsstandarden IATF 16949:2016 genom att skapa förutsättningar för systematiskt integreringsarbete. För att nå syftet har följande frågeställningar använts: 1. Hur kan en integrering av IATF 16949:2016 motiveras? 2. Hur ska Allied Motion gå till väga för att göra fortlöpande gapanalys mellan nuvarande verksamhetssystem och IATF 16949:2016? 3. Hur ser ett övergripande startupplägg ut för att komma igång med integreringsarbetet? Den teoretiska bakgrunden startar i begreppet värdekedja, vilket kopplas till hur kvalitetskrav sprids uppströms genom värdekedjan. Kvalitetsledningssystem är centralt för aktörer som verkar i industrin och här ligger mycket av arbetet med att bemöta de snabbt förändrade kundkraven. Integrering av IATF 16949:2016 görs för att säkerställa att aktörer inom industrin arbetar på rätt sätt. Projektets metod bygger på PDCA och iterering av arbetsmomenten i syfte att ha ett systematiskt sätt att arbeta. Projektet har tagit fram och testat ett verktyg för systematisk och fortlöpande kartläggning och analys av kravuppfyllnad IATF 16949:2016. Verktyget fungerade väl för strukturering och analys, men kompletterades med en riskbedömningsmodell för analys uppifrån och ned av befintliga processer. Följande slutsatser har kunnat dras för respektive frågeställning:1. Certifiering mot IATF 16949:2016 är motiverat på grund av bland annat ökade krav på aktörer i automotive-värdekedjan att vara responsiva på snabbt föränderliga kundkrav samt möjlighet till positionering.2. För att genomföra fortlöpande gapanalys kan tillvägagångssättet med spårbarhetsmatris som testats i detta projekt användas i kombination med riskbedömningsmodellen.3. Ett övergripande startupplägg innehåller ett förtydligande av befintliga processer, mappning och riskbedömning av befintliga processer utifrån IATF 16949-krav, samt identifiering av övergripande gap och bedömning av åtgärder. För att komma vidare finns ett behov av att skapa sense of urgency, fatta ett formellt beslut, definiera ett projekt och avsätta resurser. Projektaktiviteterna handlar både om att modernisera nuvarande verksamhetssystem och samtidigt gradvis integrera IATF 16949.

Abstract:
The research project investigates whether automotive component manufacturers located in South Africa are taking advantage of their participation in global value chains to functionally upgrade. Two factors, namely position in the value chain and global connectedness are assessed in terms of their effect on the propensity for firms to innovate and upgrade. Continuous pressure from value chain leaders to reduce costs coupled with increasing competition from other low-cost, developing economies means that South African automotive component manufacturers have to upgrade to improve their competitiveness and maintain their positions in the global value chain. This quantitative study analysed data collected through interviews from 76 companies in the National Association of Automotive Component and Allied Manufacturer‟s database of firms. The results support previous literature and demonstrate that indigenous innovation does occur under certain conditions. Whilst participation in global value chains seems to stimulate innovation, it does not necessarily guarantee that innovation will occur nor does it mean that innovation will automatically result in upgrading. Questions that require further investigation include among others the upgrading trajectory firms over time and a deeper understanding of the mechanisms used by innovation leaders to absorb and deploy the knowledge and technology obtained from global interactions.

Political and economic sanctions between 1970 and 1994 isolated the inward-oriented economy of South Africa from global trends. A variety of factors, such as a challenging new global competitive environment, production overcapacity, falling protectionist tariff barriers in a period of liberalisation, world-class manufacture and globalisation, are contributing to the reform of the economy and the automotive industry. The South African automotive industry therefore faces a major reform in trade policy. The South African government introduced the Motor Industry Development Plan (MIDP) in 1995, to create the necessary levels of competitiveness, promote world class manufacture practices, increase levels of investments and exports that would consequently lead to the successful reconstruction and development of this sector of the South African economy. Subsequent research has shown that the successful adoption of world-class manufacture (or lean production) processes in the South African automotive industry is necessary not only for survival, but also for increased competitiveness of the industry and the improved economic performance of automotive firms. However, complicated links exist between the adoption of world-class manufacture for improved levels of operational competitiveness. for firm-level success, on the one hand, and long-term sustainability of the industry, on the other hand. Combined firm level economic success and long-term sustainability of the industry depend on factors such as international trends, connectivity to global value chains, modern technological capabilities, lean production and enterprise systems, substantial investments, increased exports, world-wide quality standards, as well as customer satisfaction, human resource development, advanced education, skills development, worker participation, government policy and institutional support. This is borne out by a recent study of the auto component sector, utilising a lean , production 'market driver' toolkit. The study found that although component manufacturers significantly improved their operational competitiveness, they have not necessarily experienced improved economic performance levels. More important is connectedness and integration into global value chains, via intermediaries, mergers and acquisitions. The changing political economy of automotive value chains is also important in shaping fum-level operational success and industry sustainability. In this research paper, we review global automotive industry trends which influenced the introduction of the government's visionary MIDP. We then discuss their impact on the performance of the South African assembly and component sectors at industry and finn level. This leads to a series of recommendations for improved performance to world-class manufacture, world-wide quality standards and global competitiveness

Combined firm level economic success and long-term sustainability of the industry depend on factors such as international trends, connectivity to global value chains, modern technological capabilities, lean production and enterprise systems, substantial investments, increased exports, world-wide quality standards, as well as customer satisfaction, human resource development, advanced education, skills development, worker participation, government policy and institutional support. This is borne out by a recent study of the auto component sector, utilising a lean , production 'market driver' toolkit. The study found that although component manufacturers significantly improved their operational competitiveness, they have not necessarily experienced improved economic performance levels. More important is connectedness and integration into global value chains, via intermediaries, mergers and acquisitions. The changing political economy of automotive value chains is also important in shaping fum-level operational success and industry sustainability.

Abstract:
This book offers a political economy explanation for the striking cross-national differences in strategies and performance among East Asia’s automotive industries. Some countries—China, South Korea, and Taiwan—have successfully pursued “intensive” growth strategies by increasing local value added based on domestic inputs and technological competencies. Malaysia has attempted but failed to pursue this path. In contrast, Thailand has become a champion of “extensive” growth, relying on foreign assemblers and their suppliers to achieve an impressive expansion of production, assembly, and exports. Latecomer Indonesia has followed Thailand with some success, whereas the Philippines has remained an automotive backwater. Through cross-case and within-case analyses of the seven countries, the book argues that variation is a function of the institutional and political contexts in which firms operate. Different strategies require different institutions and institutional capacities. Intensive development is especially institutionally demanding. Effective institutions emerge when political leaders face severe claims on resources (security threats and domestic pressures for welfare improvement) in the absence of easily accessible revenues to satisfy such needs. Brief comparisons with Brazil, Mexico, and other developing countries confirm the utility of the analytic framework. This explanation is superior to neoclassical accounts. It is consistent with but provides more insight than other prominent approaches to development: national innovation systems, global value chains, and developmental states. New challenges facing auto assemblers and suppliers, such as the transition to electric and autonomous vehicles, will call heavily upon the institutional capacities highlighted in this book.

Abstract:
This paper aims to elaborate the challenges and possibilities in automotive winter testing in Sweden, in particular the use of fleet management framework and steering robots, which have shown to be an interesting area for future automotive winter testing. Data was collected from a number of interviews, workshops and surveys. Automotive manufacturers (OEMs), Tier 1 suppliers and service providers (e.g. test track owners and winter test entrepreneurs) contributed to the data collection. In general, service providers want to approach their customers in the value chain to provide new or extended services. From the data, the automotive industry is constantly pressed by shorter projects, fewer prototypes and the lack of state-of-the-art test methods. Service providers find the use of remote technologies, such as fleet management, an important part of their service, especially connected to the safety of test-drivers and overall test track safety. Service providers also consider further research in the area of fleet management and remote technologies as a base for future services. The automotive industry states that the possibility to replay the last run from logged data in the vehicle enhances the services. The use of steering robots during winter testing can provide an opportunity to run repeatable and standardized testing. However, the views here vary a lot between companies regarding the usability of the steering robots during winter testing. This indicates that further research on the issue of providing standardized winter testing is necessary. Work to extend a fleet management framework and a pre-study of the usability of steering robots in winter testing have begun, using the studies presented in this paper as a basis for this work.

Abstract:
Globalization pressures lead companies of the capital-intensive goods industry to follow the example of the automotive industry and develop global platform-based products. One of the most difficult task is to cover all kinds of local standards, laws, and regulations within the platform. Supplementary strong variations in the purchasing power of customers, education of work forces, and availability of technology or mere fashions in local markets have an impact on regional business processes. Thus, undesirable and unplanned redesigns become necessary during the localization of a global product family into its regional markets. Hence, this paper discusses a platform process, which incorporates life cycle and value chain thinking into the product structuring process. This process is supported by a Component Box platform model offering robustness for component re-use and flexibility for local differentiation. Moreover it facilitates the collaborative product development by an enhanced transparency throughout the entire process.

Abstract:
Nowadays, manufacturing enterprises face enormous environmental challenges, due to complex and diverse economic trends, including shorter product life cycles, rapid advances in science and technology, increased diversity in customer demands and globalization of production activities. Consequently, the cost is highly affected by environmentally related factors. Energy efficiency is one of the main factors, which together with waste management, affect manufacturing decisions. The complexity and diversity of the factors that determine energy efficiency require intelligent systems for their optimization at each “manufacturing level”. Manufacturing decisions should be taken as fast as possible and with the highest possible accuracy. Artificial intelligence/machine learning tools have made significant progress during the last decade and are suitable for such applications. The main objective of the current study is that an architecture for the development of a networked, online, decision support tool, be provided towards achieving sustainable value chain management. The main idea behind the proposed design is that stakeholders be assisted in taking decisions towards improving the energy and eco-efficiency of the entire value chain or parts of it. This is suggested within the context of a multi-objective optimization procedure, taking into account other important decision making attributes, such as flexibility, quality and time for the final reduction in the overall cost. This architecture incorporates real time information modules that interact with online monitoring systems, using any available information within the value chain and the existing IT tools. A partial realization of the proposed idea is implemented in the form of a user friendly software tool (the MetaCAM tool). This based, decision support tool aiming to optimize a current production line or to propose alternatives for the manufacturing of a product. The tool performs optimization based on a set of predefined criteria, namely energy, waste, cost and time. For each of these criteria, the end-user selects the desired weight factor in order to drive the optimization procedure accordingly. The tool presents the characteristics of the setup of the proposed optimized line and maintains all used data and calculations in order to be reused when necessary. For the tool’s validation, three real case studies from different industrial sectors have been used. The first case study comes from the domestic appliances sector (refrigerator door panel), the second one from the automotive sector (a two seat bench for light commercial vehicles) and finally, the third case study derives from the aeronautics sector and deals with the production of the loading ramp hinge of a military aircraft.

Abstract:
In this paper we examine the main transformations that are affecting European automotive industry and which challenges, in particular due to the transition to new forms of propulsion, the industry is going to face. The automotive industry is central to the European economy and the nature of the Global Value Chains are rapidly shifting. While individual countries have developed economic plans to address this, a broader EU wide plan is critically important to addressing the employment and environmental effects of these shifts.
