Before COVID-19, global supply chains ticked a lot of boxes: lower labor and operating costs, wider product ranges and greater reach to new markets. But the vulnerabilities and visible failures of global supply chains during COVID-19 were there for all to see. Lead times expanded exponentially. Manufacturing capacity stalled. Ports became congested. Transportation ground to a halt. Excessive reliance on one location or one supplier caused a domino effect of expensive downtime along the line.

Needless to say, we are paying the consequences of this shortcoming. The worst part of the recent LOG4J vulnerability was not the exploit itself, but the absolute lack of visibility on which products and services it affected.

The automotive supply chain is surrounded by rising uncertainty. Global freight, material and energy networks face significant imbalances and congestion. The industry is struggling with whiplash between shutdowns and pent-up demand in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic – resulting in constraints in the upstream supply of components, higher logistics costs and production losses, as well as depleting finished vehicle inventory.
