▼ Many companies are questioning the value created from
logistics outsourcing. This is especially evident in contract
logistics (specialised warehousing), given the increased
commoditisation of transportation and distribution today. A clear
need emerged to understand the value creation characteristics at
play between third party logistics (3PL) providers and clients, and
this formed the basis for this research. More specifically, the
research sought to identify the elements driving the quality and
functionality of value creation. The research focused on the South
African
automotive industry limited to Original Equipment
Manufacturers (OEM’s) that had outsourced, were currently
outsourcing or were planning to outsource their specialised
warehousing. The research consisted of a phased approach in which
key
industry players (clients and 3PL’s) were interviewed to
understand and expand on the nature of the problem. A questionnaire
was then sent out to the OEM’s and quantitative analysis was
undertaken on the data collected to answer the stated research
propositions It was found that client satisfaction was achieved
through long term strategic relationships with 3PL’s rather than a
short term transactional approach. The value creation that was
driving client satisfaction was being achieved through behaviour
that sought stronger relationships, cooperation and strategic
partnering with each other. Although there was a clear
understanding on what the value creation characteristics were, the
execution was unclear. Overall, the majority of OEM’s that took
part in this study indicated satisfaction with their 3PL providers.

▼ Abstract
This report provides an overview of the Mexican
automotive market. In particular, it analyzes the 11main OEMs active in Mexico and 40 of the largest Tier 1 & 2 suppliers. It also analyzes the context of the market, including the current environment and future trends.
The report opens with a brief introduction followed by an explanation of the academic framework (CAGE) that the analysis is loosely based on. Next is an explanation of the methodology used to gather the report information. The methodology describes some of the challenges faced during the research phase, as well as the most useful sources of information. This section also outlines any underlying assumptions used for predictions and estimations.
Following the methodology is an explanation of a data sample. The first data set is the Production & Contact Information, which provides a list of the parts produced at each of the companiesâ facilities and its contact information. The second data set is the OEM & Tier Combination, which maps the connections between the OEMs and their respective suppliers. The third data set outlines the
automotive clusters, and the final set provides a table of
industry investments. Unless otherwise stated, all of the information in this section is specific to the Mexican market.
Next is a general overview of Mexicoâs economy, then a more in-depth discussion of its
automotive sector. Some of the topics discussed are manufacturing costs, procurement market, and foreign trade. Following this is an analysis of the
automotive manufacturing clusters in Mexico. Each cluster is identified by its geographical locations, the companies active in it, and the parts produced in it. The most important or significant cluster are also mentioned.
After the clusters comes a section on financial investments. Each of the 11 OEMs is profiled with a list of any planned or recent financial investments in Mexico. The report concludes by highlighting three of the major current trends in the Mexican
Automotive Parts
industry.

▼ The influence of recycling on aluminium alloys and
subsequent influence on the microstructure and corrosion
performances have been investigated. The investigation was
commenced by taking two block cast, recycled aluminium alloys
(AA5050 and AA6011) and rolling them into 1mm gauge plate. In the
case of AA6011, the plate was subjected to subsequent solution heat
treatment and artificial aging steps, in order to attain certain
temper specifications. To replicate the
automotive paint bake
industrial practice, a sample was subjected to a 2% tensile stretch
followed by heat treatment for 30 minutes at 180˚C. Microstructural
observations revealed Al-Fe-Mn-Si intermetallics to be the dominant
secondary phase in both alloys. The size, distribution and
composition of these were unaffected by artificial aging. Mg2Si was
found in a coarse, localised form in both alloys also, albeit in
much less amounts in AA5050. The presence of this phase was likely
due to poor homogenisation during thermomechanical processing.
HR-TEM of AA6011 revealed needle/rod shaped precipitates, aligning
in the [001]Al lattice direction. This is consistent with β’’/β’
hardening precipitates consisting of magnesium and silicon.
Circumstantial evidence was found for the copper-containing Q phase
precipitate also. An additional, unidentified precipitate was
observed, nucleating on the {111} habit plane of the aluminium
matrix. The high iron content of AA6011 retarded the precipitation
hardening response by capturing elements associated with hardening
precipitates in the Al-Fe-Mn-Si intermetallics. Electrochemical
corrosion experiments revealed the materials had a high
susceptibility to localised corrosions, with the open circuit
potential and breakdown potential possessing similar values.
Atmospheric corrosion experiments showed that artificial aging had
a large influence on the preferred corrosion mechanism. Non-heat
treated samples showed susceptibility for pitting corrosion. This
was particularly true for the –T4P temper, which showed large scale
pitting. Heat treated samples saw an introduced susceptibility to
intergranular corrosion. This was attributed to precipitation at
grain boundaries, which would then form a microgalvanic couple with
adjacent depleted zones. In the case of the –T8P temper, tensile
stretching introduced defects into the sub-grain microstructure.
This resulted in intergranular corrosion fronts of increased width,
where grains with higher stored energy undergo preferential
dissolution alongside the grain boundary attack. Overall, the
detrimental effects of high iron content need to be overcome before
AA5050 and AA6011 can be seriously considered for use in the
automotive industry. However, the corrosion performance of
AA6011–T8P is encouraging.

▼ SmarTEC is the abbreviated trademark for TenCate’s smart advanced textiles and smart advanced composites. In this master thesis, advanced textiles are defined as textiles with high-end performing functions for a broad range of industrial applications, and advanced composites are defined as engineering polymers reinforced with high-performance fibres. The strength of SmarTEC will derive from its properties, and are classified into a flexible, functional, protective, technological, emotional, and communicating value. The weakness of the material is its woven appearance, high production costs, and protective image.
The
automotive industry will drastically develop in the forthcoming years. With respect to the worldwide market, the mature European
automotive will be leading in technology, whereas the Chinese
automotive market will achieve a foremost market size and growth in general. Furthermore the market will become liable to new entrants, high degree of rivalry, and a shift of mutual power in between suppliers. The future macro developments and trends that will surround the
automotive industry are classified into the terms global usership, ecology, and connectivity. With respect to the
automotive customers, people will predominantly require improved functionality, efficiency and emotional interaction during their driving experience.
The application areas of SmarTEC into a future automobile are a result of abovementioned material values and the developments and trends within and around the
automotive industry. The showcase that will embody these application areas is the KG-1 Projecta for 2030 – in the long-term – and 2020 – in the short-term. A projecta is a general term for demonstration projects that will be used for product-technical and communicative purposes. The design of the KG-1 projecta 2030 mimics the vertical and horizontal movement of a human body, whereas the design of its intermediate equivalent of 2020 derives from the ergonomics of the human body – with the focus on the individual positioning of the driver and passenger.
The commercialization process of SmarTEC is a combination of new material and new technology commercialization. Significant aspects in here are the semi-manufactured article, price per unit, exposure, market research, and partnerships. Furthermore, the commercialization of SmarTEC is an example of diversification, which is a growth strategy of introducing a new product into a new market.
The strategy plan of commercializing SmarTEC is called SmarTEC Commercialization Spiral. The recommended tactics form a spiral around the original business model of TenCate, divided into three milestones, according to time. The purpose of the first milestone – representing the year 2010 – will be finding acceptance for SmarTEC at possible
automotive launch customers. Recommended tactics will be: (1) open a market group Mobility SmarTEC, (2) start open innovation projects, and (3) expose SmarTEC on trade shows with the help of the KG-1 projectas. The second milestone – representing 2020 – will…

▼ i newlineAbstract Total Quality Management (TQM)
has become a frequently used term in discussions concerning
quality. The international and national competitive environment is
in a process of constant change by the globalization of markets and
the increased interdependence of economic agents. This process of
change has brought increased demands on the organizations
competitiveness and customers have gained a central role in the
organizations focus. TQM is considered to be an important
management philosophy, which supports the organizations in their
effort to obtain satisfied customers. However, there exist
extensive numbers of examples of failed or badly performed
implementation process of TQM. This is a problematic phenomenon,
which negatively affects organizations in their development towards
business excellence and ultimately survival in a competitive
environment. Furthermore, diversity among researchers exists
regarding the actual benefits of TQM. The issues regarding the
critical success and barrier factors of TQM implementation, when
considering the incentives for the large organizational change a
TQM implementation implies, is important. The developments related
to Indian companies, concerning quality of products and services,
need to be examined on a comparative global scale. It is,
therefore, imperative for the Indian automobile sector to
understand and analyze the complex interactions and the dynamics of
factors affecting TQM, and factors which are the outcome of TQM
over a longer time horizon. This will allow India to evolve a
development plan through the integration of all the identified
dominant factors interacting or being acted on. The present
research focused on assessing TQM implementation initiatives in
selected Indian automotive industries to explain and identify
similarities and differences in the implementation approach,
benefits achieved, critical success and barrier factors of TQM
implementation.

▼ This study was designed to assess the role of secondary education in the employability of operators in the South African
automotive industry. Five types of secondary education are referred to, namely, a secondary education including Mathematics and Science as subjects; a matriculation with Mathematics as a
subject; a secondary education inclusive of Science as a
subject; a technical type Grade 12 qualification and a general form of secondary education. A two-phase aptitude testing selection process, employing three sub-tests from the Differential Aptitude Test (DAT-K) and five from the Trade Aptitude Test (TRAT) batteries, was utilised to assess whether there were significant differences in aptitude test scores of applicants with different types of secondary education. These aptitude measures were administered to 2 463 preselected respondents. Descriptive statistics such as median, mode and frequency distribution graphs were used. Statistical analysis was also carried out, using the Chi-square test of independence, to determine the differences in aptitude test results obtained by the groups in the study. The study‟s findings revealed that the type of Grade 12 qualification held by applicants is an important criterion to be considered in the selection of
automotive operators. The findings specifically indicated that a secondary education that included Mathematics and/or Science as subjects resulted in notable performance in the aptitude instruments employed in this study. The findings are broadly relevant to the South African
automotive industry and are of value to human resource practitioners, educators, social scientists and other researchers.

automotive supply chain. Car manufacturers have to change their strategies from push to pull models and from traditional manufacturing to just-in-time manufacturing. These changes force Tier suppliers and OEMs to move closer together and cooperate more efficiently. Due to its economic and geographical advantages, Mexico became a popular destination for car manufacturers. Over the last years, car production in Mexico has steadily increased.
Through primary and secondary literature research, telephone interviews and email I determined if and how recent global trends in the
automotive industry affect the Mexican market. In order to answer this research question I explored if OEMs and Tier suppliers in Mexico relocate to work together more efficiently.
voestalpine, an Austrian steel company and
automotive supplier serves as a case study for this Master thesis. It is interested in improving its positioning in the Mexican
automotive market.
The analysis consists of three parts. First, it is shown that OEMs prefer global suppliers in Mexico. Second, recent waves of investment prove that Tier suppliers follow OEMs to the Mexican market. Third, OEMs and Tier suppliers are located close to each other forming
automotive clusters. The final recommendation for voestalpine is to follow recent trends and increases its focus on the
automotive industry in Mexico in the clusters Guanajuato, Jalisco, Nuevo Leon and Estado de Mexico.

This work project provides evidence on the positive effect of trade liberalization
on productivity growth in the Brazilian automotive industry. I use data before
and after trade liberalization. The positive effect of trade liberalization found
here supports the idea that the adoption of higher tariffs on imports in this sector
is not justified. This idea is also supported by the fact that production increased since trade liberalization. Higher tariffs on imports of vehicles are one of the
measures of the recently announced plan Brasil Maior. According to the results
found here, the effect of this new protectionist measure might be the loss of
productivity and efficiency of the industry in the long run and the supply of
expensive products in the domestic market.

▼ The
automotive industry is one of the world's most important economic sectors in terms of revenue and employment. The
automotive supply chain is complex owing to the large number of parts in an automobile, the multiple layers of suppliers to supply those parts, and the coordination of materials, information, and financial flows across the supply chain. Many uncertainties and different natural and man-made disasters have repeatedly stricken and disrupted
automotive manufacturers and their supply chains. Managing supply chain risk in a complex environment is always a challenge for the
automotive industry. This research first provides a comprehensive literature review of the existing research work on the supply chain risk identification and management, considering, but not limited to, the characteristics of the
automotive supply chain, since the literature focusing on
automotive supply chain risk management (ASCRM) is limited. The review provides a summary and a classification for the underlying supply chain risk resources in the
automotive industry; and state-of-the-art research in the area is discussed, with an emphasis on the quantitative methods and mathematical models currently used. The future research topics in ASCRM are identified. Then two mathematical models are developed in this research, concentrating on supply chain risk management in the
automotive industry. The first model is for optimizing manufacturer cooperation in supply chains. OEMs often invest a large amount of money in supplier development to improve suppliers’ capabilities and performance. Allocating the investment optimally among multiple suppliers to minimize risks while maintaining an acceptable level of return becomes a critical issue for manufacturers. This research develops a new non-linear investment return mathematical model for supplier development, which is more applicable in reality. The solutions of this new model can assist supply chain management in deciding investment at different levels in addition to making “yes or no” decisions. The new model is validated and verified using numerical examples. The second model is the optimal contract for new product development with the risk consideration in the
automotive industry. More specifically, we investigated how to decide the supplier’s capacity and the manufacturer’s order in the supply contract in order to reduce the risks and maximize their profits when the demand of the new product is highly uncertain. Based on the newsvendor model and Stackelberg game theory, a single period two-stage supply chain model for a product development contract, consisting of a supplier and a manufacturer, is developed. A practical back induction algorithm is conducted to get subgame perfect optimal solutions for the contract model. Extensive model analyses are accomplished for various situations with theoretical results leading to conditions of solution optimality. The model is then applied to a uniform distribution for uncertain demands. Based on a real
automotive supply chain case, the numerical…

▼ Initial and subsequent market entry mode choices of multinational enterprises (MNEs) depend on MNE managers’ perceptions of the potential to capture additional competitiveness by internalizing their unique firm-specific advantages (FSAs), also called ownership (O)-specific advantages, together with the host countries’ country-specific advantages (CSAs) also called location (L)-specific advantages (Dunning 1988; Hennart 2009; Rugman et al. 2012). During the last decade we observe a significant shift of automotive production in Europe from the West to the East, and Turkey has been one of the major beneficiaries of this change. In this paper we analyze the roots of Turkey’s evolving CSAs and try to understand their differing impacts on market entry strategies of MNEs in the automotive industry with the help of the diamond model (Porter 1990). We apply a longitudinal approach in our empirical study and focus on developments in the period between the years 2000 and 2010. We find out that Turkey’s national diamond has improved over the decade led by improving political leadership and stability, as well as institutional reforms and consequent economic stability following the banking crisis in 2001. We also find out that the country’s diamond has strengthened by the implementation of the customs union in 1996 and the beginning of membership negotiations with the European Union (EU) in 2005. Despite the fact that these developments have led to a fast growth of the automotive industry in Turkey, we notice that MNEs have responded differently in their market entry strategies, and these differences rely on the match of their strategic positions and market entry motives with CSAs. Based on our observations we make clear propositions that link market entry choices to generic strategies and market entry motives. We recommend further similar longitudinal research in different countries and industries to test our findings.

▼ The influence of recycling on aluminium alloys and subsequent influence on the microstructure and corrosion performances have been investigated. The investigation was commenced by taking two block cast, recycled aluminium alloys (AA5050 and AA6011) and rolling them into 1mm gauge plate. In the case of AA6011, the plate was subjected to subsequent solution heat treatment and artificial aging steps, in order to attain certain temper specifications. To replicate the automotive paint bake industrial practice, a sample was subjected to a 2% tensile stretch followed by heat treatment for 30 minutes at 180˚C. Microstructural observations revealed Al-Fe-Mn-Si intermetallics to be the dominant secondary phase in both alloys. The size, distribution and composition of these were unaffected by artificial aging. Mg2Si was found in a coarse, localised form in both alloys also, albeit in much less amounts in AA5050. The presence of this phase was likely due to poor homogenisation during thermomechanical processing. HR-TEM of AA6011 revealed needle/rod shaped precipitates, aligning in the [001]Al lattice direction. This is consistent with β''/β' hardening precipitates consisting of magnesium and silicon. Circumstantial evidence was found for the copper-containing Q phase precipitate also. An additional, unidentified precipitate was observed, nucleating on the {111} habit plane of the aluminium matrix. The high iron content of AA6011 retarded the precipitation hardening response by capturing elements associated with hardening precipitates in the Al-Fe-Mn-Si intermetallics. Electrochemical corrosion experiments revealed the materials had a high susceptibility to localised corrosions, with the open circuit potential and breakdown potential possessing similar values. Atmospheric corrosion experiments showed that artificial aging had a large influence on the preferred corrosion mechanism. Non-heat treated samples showed susceptibility for pitting corrosion. This was particularly true for the -T4P temper, which showed large scale pitting. Heat treated samples saw an introduced susceptibility to intergranular corrosion. This was attributed to precipitation at grain boundaries, which would then form a microgalvanic couple with adjacent depleted zones. In the case of the -T8P temper, tensile stretching introduced defects into the sub-grain microstructure. This resulted in intergranular corrosion fronts of increased width, where grains with higher stored energy undergo preferential dissolution alongside the grain boundary attack. Overall, the detrimental effects of high iron content need to be overcome before AA5050 and AA6011 can be seriously considered for use in the automotive industry. However, the corrosion performance of AA6011-T8P is encouraging.

▼ Magnesium has a phenomenal specific strength, making
it ideal for use in the
automotive and aerospace industries, but
its poor room temperature ductility limits its use to cast parts.
The poor ductility is a result of the highly anisotropic plastic
deformation response of the HCP crystal system. The Peierls stress
for non-basal deformation modes is several times larger than for
basal slip, in some cases as much as an order of magnitude larger.
As a result of this discrepancy, non-basal deformation modes are
unlikely to be activated during arbitrary loading in a
polycrystalline sample. The ultimate goals of this study are to
examine the deformation modes to gain a better understanding of the
mechanisms involved with ductile failure in Mg, and to provide a
mechanistic explanation for the improvement in ductility seen with
the addition of rare earth (RE) solutes.To that end, we first model
the cross-slip behavior of screw (c + a) dislocations between
first- and second-order pyramidal planes. In addition to
determining the core energy and the critical resolved shear stress
(CRSS) for the dislocations, we also identify a metastable compact,
undissociated dislocation core as a possible transition state for
cross slip between pyramidal I and pyramidal II planes.Next we
calculate the interaction energy between a (c + a) edge dislocation
and a solute substituted on some atomic site near the dislocation,
and then use the calculated interaction energy to apply a solid
solution strengthening model to determine the change in the CRSS
for the glide of edge \ca dislocations along the pyramidal II
plane. We also calculated the change in CRSS for the basal
dislocation and compared. From the solutes effect on the CRSS
values, we find that the addition of yttrium solutes is not
expected to prevent (c + a) slip as hard as it prevented basal
slip, effectively increasing (c + a) activation relative to basal.
The other major result from this study is that we show how the
direct substitution of solutes into the dislocation cell causes the
dislocation to shift, sometimes significantly changing its
geometry, and necessitating a modification to the method used to
determine the interaction energy.Finally, we do the same thing for
the twinning dislocation. In this case, the interaction energies
were calculated using an approximation that scales the directly
calculated interaction energy map of one solute to another solute
based on smaller, more manageable calculations. We find that like
the (c + a) dislocation, the addition of Y solutes makes glide of
the twinning dislocation easier. However, it is possible that the
strengthening effect on the twinning dislocation could be
underestimated (possibly due to a change in defect geometry that we
do not consider), or the strengthening effect on basal slip is
overestimated. This study also indicated that the solutes
considered may be expected to cause changes in geometry in the
defect structures they are put into, necessitating directly
calculated interaction energies for this geometry in order to…

This thesis is concerned with the development of a novel technical solution that is aimed to improve
the quality of cable crimp terminations in the electronics industry. The automotive, aero and military
vehicle industries are of special interest due to their stringent requirements for guaranteed quality
assurances in relation to their safety-critical products. The emphasis is on handheld crimping tools,
where a new scheme for measuring the relevant crimp force is proposed using a small embedded
computer to process information; so as to make an on-instrument statement regarding the crimp
process quality.
The thesis includes a detailed review of the current technical practices in the cable termination
business, with a particular emphasis on the quality estimations for crimped connections using the
crimp force monitoring (CFM) scheme. A comprehensive study of the state-of-the-art crimp force
monitoring schemes and technologies is presented.
A gap in the tool chain is identified whereby the industry has a preference for the use of hand tools in
some selected processes; but the CFM scheme cannot be currently integrated directly with such hand
tools. The bulk of the work in this thesis is thus focused on the development of a technical solution
that will address this need for integration of hand tools with the CFM scheme. The concept is to
develop a fully embedded subsystem that can be attached directly to a hand tool and this system will
perform all of the signal processing and the statistical analysis so that each crimped joint can be
trusted to meet the relevant stated quality parameters.
In the course of development work a fully functional prototype subsystem is developed for the CFM
solution, for application to hand tools. Analytical and statistical measurement and assessment
algorithms were developed to a standard, which allows a final quality rating to be applied to crimped
joint connections. Such algorithms are designed to be embedded directly onto the instrument’s
microcomputer.
The new system has been evaluated and tested in the course of this research project and it has
currently been accepted by a number of industries for a planned volume qualification assessment.

▼ Thailand is the 13th
automotive manufacturer, and it is also the important part and component manufacturer in the world. After 2000, Toyota and GM established the R&D Centre and Production Base in Thailand. Now, Thailand has become âDetroit of Asia.â
How could we find the developmental model of Thailand
automotive industry? Maybe it cannot be explained by one theory. So we try to select three theories, different ideology, to find the path of industrial development in three periods.
Finally, we find the path of
automotive industrial development in Thailand. Triple Alliance of dependency development theory let the
industry updrade and become more and more important. And then, international division let Thailand became the key role of supply chain in the world. Laissez faire and compare advantage are the characteristics in this period, so we know the developmental model of neo-classical economic theory let Thailand shining in the world.

▼ Istorija i filozofija prirodnih nauka i tehnologije
/ History and philosophy natural science and
technology
Ovaj rad je posvećen istraživanju jugoslovenskog
iskustva u izgradnji automobilske industrije zasnovane na zapadnoj
tehnologiji u periodu između 1954. i 2008. godine. Najveći deo rada
obuhvata istraživanje organizacionog i tehnološkog razvoja Fabrike
automobila „Crvena zastava” (skraćeno Zastava), jer se početak
stvaranja jugoslovenske automobilske industrije vezuje za 1954.
godinu kada je Zastava potpisala sa FIAT-om Ugovor o ustupanju
licence. To je ujedno bio prvi Ugovor potpisan između jedne zapadne
kompanije sa jednim preduzećem iz istočnoevropske socijalističke
zemlje nakon Drugog svetskog rata. Zastava je od svog osnivanja
izgrađivala mrežu domaćih kooperanata. U pretežno agrarnom društvu
(od 1950-ih i ranih 1960-ih), većina njenih kooperanata nije
raspolagala sa znanjima o industrijskoj proizvodnji niti znanjima o
tehnologiji koja bi zadovoljila zahteve za proizvođače delova za
automobile. Zato je bila prinuđena da se najviše oslanja na uvozne
delove. Prvi kooperanti Zastave su osnovani u okolini Kragujevca, a
kasnije se kooperantska mreža proširila na celu Jugoslaviju.
Zastava je bila nosilac izgradnje fabričkih pogona u nerazvijenim
regionima, kao što su Makedonija i Kosovo, u koje je ulagala
sopstvena sredstva uz dodatnu finansijsku pomoć fonda za razvoj.
Snabdevanje Zastave neophodnim komponentama bilo je praćeno
problemima, kao što su zastoji i uska grla u lancu snabdevanja.
Rešenje za navedene probleme traženo je u uspostavljanju vertikalne
integracije i umrežavanja u cilju stvaranja jedinstvene
jugoslovenske automobilske industrije. Nakon ekonomskih reformi
1960-ih, jugoslovenska privreda se postepeno otvarala prema
međunarodnom tržištu. U periodu do 1974, Zastava je potpisala više
važnih ugovora o poslovno tehničkoj saradnji sa FIAT-om, što je
rezultovalo proizvodnjom prvog nacionalnog automobila „Zastava
101”. Pored toga, Zastava je bila je posrednik u proširenju FIAT-a
na istočnoevropsko tržište, a imala je i značajnu ulogu u razvoju
saradnje između FIAT-a i proizvođača automobila iz Sovjetskog
Saveza i Poljske. Uloga posrednika omogućila je jugoslovenskoj
automobilskoj industriji da poveća izvoz na međunarodna tržišta. To
je bio period kada je proizvodnja automobila u Kragujevcu dostigla
svoj vrhunac - nivo srednje razvijenog preduzeća po evropskim
merilima. Njeni automobili su se izvozili širom sveta, od tržišta
„trećeg sveta”, EEZ i Istočne Evrope. Razvoj i osavremenjavanje
proizvodnje u Zastavi postao je model za ukupan razvoj industrije,
modernizaciju i ekonomski razvoj Jugoslavije. Zastava je bila
sposobna da u potpunosti zadovolji zahteve domaćeg tržišta za
automobilima, i da obezbedi izvoz automobila na različita
međunarodna tržišta. U relativno kratkom vremenskom periodu,
Jugoslavija kao zemlja sa najnižim stepenom motorizacije u Evropi
uspela je da postane jedna od vodećih zemalja zahvaljujući pre
svega domaćoj proizvodnji automobila, što je bio redak slučaj u
zemljama…

▼ Abstract
As the manufacturing industry is getting more competitive the need for new supporting
technologies is increasing. Recently, the market for Virtual Reality (VR)
has expanded significantly and become more accessible for consumers, with driving
forces being the gaming industry and Industry 4.0. Therefore this technology will
need to be researched and evaluated to further understand if and where it can be
used and implemented. To do this, a method needed to be developed. The aim
and purpose for this thesis was set accordingly, to find a method for evaluating new
technologies and to see what the result from the implementation would be from a
sustainability perspective. The thesis includes a case study at an automotive company
where the method was developed and validated. The purpose and aim were
fulfilled by creating a new and functioning method to evaluate new technologies
within manufacturing engineering and identifying application opportunities. The
method includes three major steps: a data collection, mapping of the findings and
a verification of the result through a physical test.
By following the created method resulted in an identification of three improvement
areas: analysis, communication and visualization. Within these three areas a
set of 17 activities, at the case company, were found. The findings shows that an
implementation of VR in these activities would result in improvements for the case
company. Recommendations to the case company are to implement VR in the found
activities, for example communication and ergonomics. Further research could include
integration of VR peripherals, where haptic feedback should be prioritized,
and to then study the effects on cost, quality, time and user experience.

▼ A responsividade aglutina princípios calcados em produtividade, flexibilidade e uso intensivo de tecnologia, capacitando empresas de manufatura a lidar com incertezas e operar de forma rentável no mercado globalizado. A manufatura busca na responsividade meios para sobreviver e crescer num ambiente de contínua mudança e incerteza, norteado pela concorrência global, exigências crescentes dos consumidores e avanço da tecnologia. O ciclo de expansão da indústria ainda tem fôlego para crescimento. O setor automotivo tem participação considerável na economia e gera efeito em cadeia na atividade industrial mundial. A indústria automotiva historicamente é uma precursora na reformulação de estratégias e no aprimoramento da eficácia operacional, através da adoção de tecnologias cada vez mais flexíveis e adaptáveis às oscilações do mercado competitivo. Este setor é um dos mais importantes do Rio Grande do Sul e do Brasil e sua dinâmica impõe condições responsivas às empresas. Ao assumirmos que a responsividade é o fator chave para alcançar e manter a vantagem competitiva no ambiente de manufatura, verificar como ela é utilizada, principalmente em empresas do setor automotivo, torna-se uma importante questão a ser tratada. O objetivo da pesquisa é analisar o conjunto de dimensões que representam a responsividade nas empresas de manufatura do setor automotivo. A pesquisa é qualitativa descritiva e aplicou o método de estudo de caso, através de uma investigação de casos múltiplos, realizada em quatro empresas com representatividade na cadeia automotiva do Rio Grande do Sul. A pesquisa utilizou como fontes de evidências: entrevistas, observações diretas e análise de documentos. Nas entrevistas, por se tratarem de perguntas abertas, foi utilizada a técnica de análise de conteúdo. As observações diretas, assim como a análise de documentos, ajudaram a complementar as informações obtidas nas entrevistas. Para interpretação do material obtido, foi utilizada a técnica de triangulação de dados. Inicialmente, cada empresa foi analisada individualmente, e depois houve a comparação dos casos para verificar similaridades ou diferenças para posterior produção de resultados mais confiáveis e generalizáveis. Através dos casos estudados constata-se que, apesar das diferenças de porte, nicho de atuação, valores e qualificação, entre outros, as empresas de manufatura do setor automotivo se valem de princípios comuns que resultam em ações e práticas responsivas.
The responsiveness merges principles based on productivity, flexibility and intensive use of technology, enabling manufacturing companies to deal with uncertainties and operate profitable in the global market. The manufacturing identifies in responsiveness ways to survive and grow in an environment of continuous change and uncertainty, guided by global competition, increasing on consumer demands and technology dissemination. The industry expansion cycle has yet impetus for growth. The automotive sector has considerable involvement in the economy and generates a chain effect on the…

▼ O processo de desenvolvimento de produto (PDP) é reconhecido por influenciar diretamente a competitividade das empresas. O sucesso do desenvolvimento pode contribuir, entre outros resultados, no aumento da participação de mercado, conquista de novos clientes, redução de custos e melhora da qualidade. O PDP realizado entre montadora de veículos e fornecedor requer atenção especial no que diz respeito à gestão do processo e à interação entre as empresas. Isso porque, em muitos casos, fornecedores detêm o conhecimento tecnológico do produto e processo de produção do mesmo e a montadora detém o conhecimento das necessidades de performance do projeto. Dentro destas duas instituições, montadora e fornecedor, ocorre um movimento que envolve competências, responsabilidades e a atuação de diversas áreas funcionais. Todo este processo requer integração, comunicação e estrutura, para que possa ocorrer de maneira organizada. Montadoras americanas desenvolveram uma metodologia que busca suprir algumas das necessidades de integração no PDP, o Planejamento Avançado da Qualidade do Produto (APQP). O objetivo deste trabalho é discutir esta metodologia, identificando condições em que o APQP contribui para a gestão do processo de desenvolvimento do produto. Este trabalho foi desenvolvido por meio de estudos de casos da indústria automotiva, entre os quais dois estudos com maior profundidade. Em um segundo momento, foi pesquisado um grupo maior, de 20 fornecedores de um mesmo projeto, para avaliar se as conclusões obtidas nos dois casos mais aprofundados eram representativas para um grupo amplo. Nos casos estudados, foi possível identificar que atrasos por parte da montadora dificultam a gestão do processo. O fornecedor, ao trabalhar próximo do cliente, obtém informações que possibilitam administrar atrasos e prazos comprimidos, muitas vezes antecipando-se a formalizações da montadora. Isso tem custos adicionais, mas revela que o APQP pode contribuir positivamente na interação, fornecendo subsídios para um alinhamento constante. Porém, não impede que falhas internas na montadora sejam evitadas.
The product development process (PDP) is recognized for having direct influence on companys competitiveness. The success of PDP can influence other objectives, some of them: market share increasing, new customers, cost reduction and quality improvement. The OEMs (Original Equipments Manufactures) and automotive parts manufacturers PDP require special attention on the process management and interaction between the companies. These because, in many cases, suppliers hold the technical knowledge of the product and production process and the OEMs hold the requirements and project performance knowledge. Inside those companies, OEMs and auto parts suppliers there is a process which involves competencies, responsibilities and work from several functional areas. The success of those projects requires integration, communication and a well organized structure to make it happen on an organized way. Auto makers have developed a methodology to supply some…

▼ Over recent years, international trade flows of
automotive products have experienced rising trends. Thus, the need
to gain a better understanding of trade theories that could explain
such trade flows. Until recently, the theoretical and empirical
distinction of intra-
industry trade (IIT) into patterns of
horizontally differentiated (by variety) intra-
industry trade
(HIIT) and vertically differentiated (by quality) intra-
industry
trade (VIIT) has become crucial because each IIT pattern may
potentially be influenced in different manners by country and
industry factors (Greenaway, Hine&Milner, 1995). The objective
of this thesis is twofold. Firstly, to measure the empirical
significance of IIT in the automobile
industry between South Africa
and its bilateral trading partners and to decompose total IIT
(TIIT) into VIIT and HIIT patterns. Secondly, to develop empirical
models to investigate potential country- and
industry-specific
determinants of IIT patterns in the South African automobile
industry. The empirical strategy adopted in this thesis is a
gravity model spanning the period 2000 to 2007. The automobile
industry is a principal industrial sector in the South African
economy contributing notably to trade, investment, employment and
national output. The structure and conduct of the
industry is
aligned with several elements of IIT theories and thus represents
an important and fascinating case of IIT patterns to investigate.
Therefore, the findings of this thesis will be valuable to trade
policy analysts and manufacturers in the local and global
automotive industries. According to the objectives, the
significance of IIT is estimated using the trade overlap index and
the empirical separation of total intra-
industry trade (TIIT) into
VIIT and HIIT is conducted using the threshold method. The
empirical results reveal the presence of significant levels of IIT
in
automotive trade flows between South Africa and its bilateral
trading partners. In accordance with theoretical expectations, the
empirical investigation signifies the existence of high shares of
VIIT dominating TIIT in the South African automobile
industry.
Moreover, the empirical analysis postulates that, within VIIT, the
domestic automobile
industry potentially produces and exports high
quality
automotive products proposing that such VIIT can be partly
explained by fragmentation and international production processes.
Next, gravity models are estimated to investigate the determinants
of IIT patterns in the automobile
industry. The econometric results
of the gravity models of VIIT, HIIT and TIIT are statistically and
economically significant in the context of the fixed effects method
of estimation and in accordance with new trade theories. The
empirical results reveal that relative difference in economic size,
trade openness, foreign direct investment (FDI) and tariffs
stimulates VIIT, whilst distance, economies of scale and
automotive
assistance negatively affect it. Conversely, relative difference in
economic size, FDI and
automotive assistance negatively…

▼ Differences amongst competitor value chains are a key source of competitive advantage. The design of the vertical integration strategies is one way to distinguish the value chain of a strategic business unit from its competitors. In Kenya, there are a number of environmental factors that have affected negatively the motor vehicle industry. The market reforms that allow importation of used vehicles in Kenya coupled with the low purchasing power in the country has made the industry very competitive. Currently, used car imports account for 70% of the market. Consequently, the motor industry in Kenya must configure its value chain in a manner that ensures a successful competitive position.
The objective of this study was to establish the vertical integration strategies practised in the automotive industry and to identify the challenges associated with the strategies practised. A census survey was carried out on the new vehicle dealers (or franchise holders). Interviewer administered questionnaires were used to collect the data required. The data collected was analysed using measures of central tendency in order to provide a description of the trends in the industry with respect to vertical integration strategies. Content analysis was carried out to establish the challenges associated with vertical integration.
The design of vertical integration strategies practised in an industry can be distinguished by examining four dimensions namely; the stages, the breadth, the degree and the form of vertical integration. This study has described the industry in these four dimensions of vertical integration and has revealed the challenges associated with the practise of vertical integration strategies in the industry. The industry has raised four main issues that influence the crafting of its vertical integration strategies namely; assurance of quality, assurance of delivery, cost and ability to raise capital requirements. The industry can be said to have adopted vertical integration strategies that reflect a balance between the strategic benefits of vertical integration and the strategic costs of vertical integration.

▼ A presente dissertação integra a estrutura curricular do curso de Mestrado em Engenharia Industrial, Ramo Gestão Industrial, da Universidade do Minho. Foi desenvolvida em contexto industrial na empresa Coindu S.A, empresa dedicada ao confecionamento de capas de estofos para automóveis, localizada em Joane – Vila Nova de Famalicão.
O projeto teve como principal objetivo a melhoria do desempenho da secção de corte automático de tecido através da implementação de metodologias Lean.
As empresas em todo mundo que aspiram elevar o seu desempenho a níveis de excelência têm por obrigação analisar a eficiência dos seus processos e como tal a adoção da filosofia Lean Production acompanhada por metodologias adequadas permite manter uma monitorização constante dos processos e consequentemente aplicar as melhorias necessárias.
Após uma introdução geral da empresa Coindu partiu-se para uma análise detalhada da área de estudo – setor de corte automático de tecido. Foi sugestão da empresa desenvolver o projeto neste setor produtivo uma vez que surgiu a necessidade de se medir o seu real desempenho e proceder à sua melhoria com recurso às ferramentas Lean. Desenvolveu-se uma análise e diagnóstico do estado atual do setor identificando-se como principais problemas o reduzido número de indicadores chave de desempenho (Key Performance Indicator) e os elevados tempos de setup.
As propostas de melhoria basearam-se na implementação de ferramentas e técnicas Lean como Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) e o Single Minute Exchenge of Dies (SMED). Paralelamente desenvolveu-se uma ferramenta informático de auxílio para o cálculo e monitorização do OEE. Em termos quantitativos todas as implementações tiveram um efeito positivo. As perdas associadas à mudança de referência apresentam um custo médio mensal de 2700€. A implementação do SMED proporcionou uma melhoria de cerca 17% do tempo de mudança de referência do setor. Em termos de indicadores iniciou-se o cálculo e respetiva monitorização dos KPI´s disponibilidade, performance e qualidade, os três fatores que possibilitam o cálculo do OEE, conseguindo-se uma evolução em termos percentuais de 70,5% para 71,8% do valor do OEE.

▼ Cross-company product development projects are often managed without clearly
defined project goals and without an alignment of these goals to an organisations
strategy and objectives. With a shift towards more decentralised and distributed
development teams, and an increasing level of collaboration, project transparency is
reduced and status measurement more difficult due to a lack of transparency. To
overcome these difficulties, the quality of collaboration in the automotive manufacturing
industry needs to be improved. The understanding of unifying goals and of the mutual
purpose to produce new products is essential for efficient and effective collaboration.
A methodological study in the automotive industry as part of this research lead to the
conclusion that a strategic scorecard method based on the Balanced Scorecard
concept by Kaplan and Norton is capable to improve cross-company project
management and reduce existing difficulties in typical product development
collaboration, such as communication or collaborative risk management. A common
definition of project goals, leading and lagging indicators to measure the status, and
defining corrective action are core elements of the Collaborative Project Scorecard
concept.
This thesis identifies the current problems and difficulties in automotive project
management and explores solutions to improve its efficiency and effectiveness based
on the Collaborative Project Scorecard. It is shown how the concept is derived from
business strategies for an improved alignment of project goals with business
objectives. A project impact analysis facilitates the development of project strategy
maps to increase transparency of goal impact interdependencies. Furthermore, based
on the results of workshops, surveys, and interviews the Collaborative Project
Scorecard concept is applied to typical automotive product development projects and
the identified advantages and limitations are evaluated by an application to a crosscompany
project of an automotive supplier and a manufacturer. The development of
the Collaborative Project Scorecard is followed by a software implementation of the
results. The integration of a collaborative project management model that has a focus
on time, task and communication management enables the project manager to create
operational indicators that can be controlled on a strategic level by the Collaborative
Project Scorecard. Additionally, it is shown how risk management and performance
assessment are supported by the concept. Advantages, benefits, and limitations of the
methodology are identified and further application scenarios suggested.

▼ The car exhibition in Beijing in 2006, many multinational companies design car style for the Chinese customers. Why would the multinational company yield in the Chinese market? Why the multinational companies just enter the Chinese market after China joins the world trade organization? How the Chinese government manages these multinational automobile companies in China? How does the Chinese government draft the competition strategy of the automobile
industry? What influence the multinational company will cause to the
automotive industry of China?
The conclusion of this paper is the multinational companies strengthen the control to the joint venture in the ownership, organization and the technique transfer. Chinese government uses protectionism; prop up the large automobile enterprise.
