Abstract
The automotive industry’s supply chain has been extensively researched but has tended to focus on the component production sections of the chain. Indeed, the automotive industry needs a structured model that encompasses the entire fragmented, uncertain and complicated industry. For this reason, the SCOR®model was chosen in this study because it contains well-defined and standardized processes and metrics for performance measurement and comparative analysis of the entire supply chain and not only internal processes. In this context, the objective of this paper is to concretize the application of the SCOR®model in an automotive company by following the steps and guidelines described by the supply chain council that designed this model. Then, several contributions and benefits of the application of this model in the automotive sector will be raised based on this case study and especially on the interviews conducted with the various practitioners and specialists in the supply chain. On the other hand, a list of limitations and difficulties encountered during and after the implementation of this standard will also be collected. Although this study is primarily oriented towards a university audience, it can also be interesting and useful for practitioners, who will be able to gain an understanding of the purpose of the existing research and to have access to a real-life example of the application of this model in the automotive sector.
Highlights
The automotive industry has complex supply chains because of the nature of the products they make up
The Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR)® model provides a framework of the common supply chain, standard terminology, common measures with associated benchmarks and best practices
It is in its growing life cycle phase and is leveraging to become a standard in the automotive industry that has complex supply chains due to the nature of the products manufactured
Summary
The automotive industry has complex supply chains because of the nature of the products they make up. Faced with the increase in supply and the strong pressure on prices, reinforced by the power of Asian groups (Toyota, Hyundai, etc.) and the arrival of new players from emerging countries (Geely, Tata Group, etc.), many companies seek to optimize their value chain in order to remain competitive [3] In the supply chain of the automotive industry, many factories are working together to manufacture a product (car, motor, etc.). As Humphrey and Memedovic [4] have pointed out, the automotive sector is global and specified as a capitalintensive industry with vertical integration and economies of scale [5]. He was responsible for the development of technological innovation and management, as well as the original major change in industrial production processes [6,7]
