Parts & Pitfalls: The Road to Production
In this episode, Selby & Hamish delve into the intricate world of automotive supply chains, uncovering the complex journey a car’s components take before they hit the road. From sourcing the right parts at the right quality to managing the delicate balance of just-in-time manufacturing, the process involves countless steps—and even more potential pitfalls.
We discuss the critical steps in getting parts to their destination on time, minimising stock holding costs, and ensuring quality at every stage of production. We also cover some of the biggest recall stories in automotive history and what happens when things don’t go according to plan.
Tune in as we explore how supply chains keep car manufacturing running smoothly (most of the time!) and the surprises that can happen along the way.
