Whether it's new drive technologies, mobility concepts, or the advancement of digitalization and automation, car manufacturers and their suppliers must navigate multiple transformations of varying complexity and urgency. At the same time, the goal is not just to maintain profitability – but to increase it.
Traditional approaches to profitability that focus solely on product cost optimization are no longer sufficient in an environment with lower volume targets and rapidly evolving market demands.
Instead, success requires a dual-perspective approach: (1) a holistic analysis of all production-relevant optimization levers, including products, machinery, digital tools, investment resources, and sustainability requirements, and (2) a detailed examination of processes, technologies, and operating conditions to uncover improvement opportunities across the entire supply chain.
The result: up to 30% in untapped savings – spanning modules, technologies, and cost drivers.
