Synopsis

Abstract

This Manufacturing Insights report illustrates the increased importance of environmental concerns across automotive manufacturers. With governments increasingly introducing legislation to protect the environment, auto manufacturers now not only have to comply with new legislation, they also have to satisfy customers that are demanding increasingly Green products, as well as manage an environment where the impact of increased costs of raw materials and consumables are becoming more evident. Companies are increasingly looking to IT to support their Green initiatives, whether it is from investing in new applications or seeking the support of the vendors to assist them in deploying applications to support Green initiatives.

"We expect automotive manufacturing companies in the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ region to increasingly turn to technology vendors to support their adoption of Green initiatives either through the implementation of applications such as product life-cycle management (PLM) and transportation management or through consulting services. Going Green starts at the design phase and we are increasingly seeing companies turn to technology to help them in the complex decision process at the beginning of a project where environmental considerations must also be considered alongside cost, time, and quality," said Christopher Holmes, Vice President, Asia/Pacific Manufacturing Research, IDC Asia/Pacific
