Automotive

The transportation sector is experiencing disruption on a scale not seen since the heyday of Henry Ford. From heavy trucks to e-scooters, from electric cars to mobility as a service, from autonomous driving to responding to the challenges of climate change.

These industry trends have dramatically impacted the whole automotive supply chain. They present new challenges for manufacturers, and demand dramatic operational innovations within accelerated timelines.

Strategic sourcing, digital transformation and supply chain resilience are crucial to respond to the unpredictable supply-demand graph, without compromising on profitability.

Digital technologies are becoming pervasive. Their integration across the entire mobility value chain cannot be done piecemeal. It requires an end-to-end rethink of business processes, data architectures and infrastructure. New technology capabilities - from battery sourcing through advanced software development and testing - are needed to stay competitive.  

Sustainability is also key, as businesses are continuously challenged by global environmental regulations to drive zero-emission business models.
