Auto OEM - Supplier relations studied

ERJ staff report (DS)

London -- SupplierBusiness has published a new report titled, OEM-Supplier Relationship Report - 2011 edition. The 35-page report was first published in July 2011 and is available for a price of around Euro 530, depending on delivery options.

The publishers say, "Each year SupplierBusiness invite senior executives from the global automotive supply base to rate their automaker customers on 28 relational, organisational and commercial criteria. The 28 questions have been organised under five concepts (Profit potential, Organisation, Trust, Pursuit of Excellence and Outlook). The questions cover the different phases of interaction, from Request for Quotation (RFQ) through development to warranty liability management. Porsche overtook Toyota and Honda as the top ranking automaker in the 2011 SuRe index with both Toyota and Honda recording a significant deterioration in their ratings."

ERJ has not seen this report and can make no comment on the quality of the research or of the conclusions.
