It presents the scope of the automotive supply chain characteristics, provides an overview of the structure of component suppliers and focuses on the just-in-Sequence mode. The next part deals with the application of custom supply management and the example is presented in automotive conditions with direct customer market impulses. The last part of the paper presents a reason for the need to use information technology support tools to control the production and logistics processes of suppliers in a flexible car assembly line for a continuous flow of materials. The contribution focuses on the logistics standards in the automotive industry in terms of materials and information flows in the supply system, where their flexibility is a key factor for the effective management of their flexibility. The introductory part of the article is characterized by the traditional hierarchical structure of the supply chain and the concept of supplying the car assembly unit with pre-assembled modules from suppliers in simple sequence mode and according to the requirements of direct customer orders (custom construction). The conclusion addresses the issue of the use of information technology tools to support material flow management by suppliers directly to the automaker’s assembly line.
