The Automotive Supply Chain for manufacturing cars, trucks, and other vehicles is one of the most complex and demanding in the world. Automotive parts suppliers have consistently needed to adapt to changes in the automotive manufacturing landscape. While COVID-19 has disrupted the automotive supply chain, it has created new opportunities to establish a stronger North American footprint, utilizing automation and other new technologies. Going forward, the automotive industry may have to focus on building flexible and resilient supply chains that allow manufacturers to rapidly reorient and respond to disruptions. Risk mitigation, cost, and quality will be key factors moving forward. In the metals segment of the Automotive Supply Chain parts are becoming more complex, accuracy requirements are becoming stricter, and visibility and efficiency have never been more important.
