The world is walking out of the shadow of the COVID-19 lockdown. However, the pandemic has long-lasting side effects on the automotive industry. In the past 18 months, the supply chain has seen several disruptions that worsened as new geopolitical events occurred. Rising material prices are hitting supplies, while logistics costs remain high, and the availability of major components such as semiconductors remains far below requirements. Moreover, the acceleration of electrification adds a layer of difficulty. Electric vehicles require many more semiconductors and rare earth materials, while the supply is still in shortage. Lately, China’s supply chain was hit with lockdowns, slowing down raw material processing and component deliveries that are critical to the automotive industry from a global perspective

Not only are we in state of constant disruption, but disruptions are here to stay. The cause of disruption may change; yesterday it may have been global health, today it may be political unrest, while tomorrow it may be trade related. Issues like inflation, material shortages, high performance pressures from customers, and capacity constraints will never be challenges businesses can overcome on their own – at least not complex or global businesses. It is an ecosystem problem, as issues can originate beyond the scope of one’s own internal network of factories, warehouses, and distribution centers.
