Abstract

Following significant developments year on year, the Global Best Practices Statistical Yearbook is now in its 6th edition, and has become the foremost annual scientific analysis of automotive supplier competitiveness.

In an industry first, the study indicates the direct cost to businesses of not performing according to best practice in eight Key Performance Indicator areas. It also includes more global datasets and more detailed sub-sector data.

It is an invaluable tool for managers wishing to better understand their performance in relation to international best practice. It covers the entire value chain, including inventory control, internal and external quality performance, operational reliability and flexibility, human resource development and product innovation.

The Global Best Practices Statistical Yearbook helps you answer questions such as:

Are we meeting the demanding and rapidly changing standards of the global automotive industry?
Using an objective firm-level benchmarking assessment, how competitive are we really?
Do we know what defines global best practice standards in the various aspects of our operations? If so, do we meet them?
In which areas do we excel and/or fail, and where should we be focusing our attention to improve?
Does our ownership, geographical location, size or market focus influence our performance? If so, how do we compare against firms that fall into our specific profile categories?
Finally, are our measurement systems sufficiently rigorous? Do we measure all the competitiveness variables we should? If not, which measures are particularly pertinent to us and how can we begin measuring them?

Created with participation from companies such as Becker, DaimlerChrysler, Dana, Denso, Dunlop, Faurecia, Federal Mogul, GM, Lear, Timken, Toyota, Visteon, and ZF Lemförder, it consists of six sections of firm-level statistical data, grouped under six market driver indicators:

Cost control
Quality performance
Value chain flexibility
Value chain reliability
Human resource development
Product development

Detailed sixth edition changes and improvements

Reacting to customer demand, the sixth edition significantly improves coverage in several key areas:

The cost of underperforming - in an industry first, the study now includes a World Class Manufacturing costings exercise in Section 1. Based on eight of the Key Performance Indicators explored in the Yearbook, it systematically unpacks the real cost of not performing to best practice standards.
Database growth: The dataset has grown 6.8%, to 157 firms.
New sub-sector data: The growth of firm-level participation in the benchmarking programme has allowed us to increase the number of sub-sectors included in the database. The new sub-sector, plastics moulding, categorises all injection, blow and rotational moulding plants in the database together, and disaggregates them from the trim sub-sector, which is where they were previously placed. The trim sub-sector is consequently also new. It now only represents automotive component manufacturers making carpets, door panels, head-linings, visors, seat covers, etc., and no plants that principally mould automotive plastics.
Enhanced formulae, definitions and explanations: These have been further revised to ensure maximum user benefit.

The Global Best Practices Statistical Yearbook remains a definitive guide to automotive supplier manufacturing best practice, and a unique opportunity to compare your company's performance against it.
