Supply chain collaboration in Indian auto components industry

Abstract

The Indian auto components industry is gaining in significance on the global front for the foreign OEMs that source parts from India as well as the increase in demand for automobiles in India. Adoption of global best practices is shaping the industry towards having a tighter supply chain system to fully exploit the rise in local demand. However the industry is structured across three tiers with the lowest tier being highly fragmented. IT solutions are necessary to increase the visibility in the supply chain for all the players to provide accurate demand forecasts, prevent counterfeiting of products and provide quality products and services.
