Abstract
Brazilian automotive industry has suffered structural changes, like lean manufacturing adoption, the set up of new productive chains, changes in product design, etc. In such context, this paper aims at introducing a case study carried out in an engine assembler located in Brazil, and analyzing aspects concerning Logistics and Supply Chain Management taking place in this company, in order to describe how these concepts are actually implemented in the company, and illustrate the relationship and mutual influence that exists between these areas. The case studied makes its contribution in the sense of highlighting the strong inter-relationship taking place between aspects that compose Supply Chain Management, here included logistics (location, inventory, and transportation, among others) and the characteristics of structure, relationship and alignment pertaining to Supply Chain Management. In the case studied, given the strong mutual influence among its factors, as well as the dependence on previous strategic choices, decisions made in the Supply Chain Management sphere, and thus in the logistics one, are assigned even more complexity and strategic relevance.
