There may be no industry that has been affected by globalization more than the automotive and transportation industry. Consumers all over the world now have more vehicle choices than ever before, and all those different choices have put tremendous pressure on vehicle manufacturers to deliver innovative vehicles with high quality as efficiently as possible. Miss the mark on any one of these requirements and it becomes easy for the consumer to make another choice.


To compete in this global environment, automotive and transportation companies must be able to:

• Develop vehicles on a global basis leveraging common architectures but meeting local requirements

• Leverage low-cost country opportunities to reduce development and production costs

• Make certain that vehicles are appealing to consumers and contain the innovations they demand

• Maintain an effective supply chain strategy that keeps costs down and captures innovation at all levels

• Maintain or improve the quality levels that have become the price of entry in the minds of consumers

• Squeeze every bit of efficiency out of the design, engineering and production operations to ensure cost competitiveness
