DUBLIN, Ireland — Research and Markets, an international market research provider, recently released “Automotive Suppliers: 2004 Global Best Practices Statistical Yearbook,” a report on automotive supplier benchmarking.
The report provides automotive supplier benchmarking data enabling Tier 1-2-3 and aftermarket suppliers to pinpoint how they perform against industry best practices in areas such as cost control, quality, human resource management and R&D.
Data provided in the report was compiled from five years of a global best practices automotive supplier benchmarking program that included more than 70 major automotive component manufacturers. These include a range of European and U.S.-based multinationals such as Becker, DaimlerChrysler, Dana, Delphi, Faurecia, Federal Mogul, GM, Lear, Timken, Toyota, Visteon, Denso, Dunlop and ZF Lemforder.
The database generated from the study covers both emerging and developed markets, as well as multinational and locally owned companies. Data measured in the report is grouped under six lean production market drivers — cost control; quality; value chain flexibility; operational flexibility; human resource development and product development.
