It takes a great deal of planning and engineering refinement to make an automotive production process run like a finely tuned machine. The complexity and sheer number of supplier relationships creates many opportunities for low-occurrence errors and inefficiencies. Managing the proper timing and inputs for your level one and level two suppliers, making sure your pay-on-receipt systems get the proper information at every point in the logistical process, ensuring the right units of measure were used, rebates accounted for … the list is long.
