In the 1990s, Renault needed a partner to help it grow from a relatively small Meanwhile, Yoshikazu Hanawa met Renault director and asked automaker to a major player. for his help in Japan.

Nissan, Japan’s second largest car maker, had billions of dollars of debt and Mr Ghosn, now CEO of Nissan and Renault, led a reappraisal of the way its share of the domestic market was in decline. Its president Yoshikazu Nissan operated. Nissan’s purchasing costs were to be cut by 20% and Hanawa wanted a partner who would give a substantial cash injection. further savings made by economies of scale with the setting up of the Renault Nissan Purchasing Organisation. In 1999, Renault’s CEO Louis Schweitzer offered to buy 36.8% of Nissan’s capital for $5 billion, creating an alliance with each partner keeping its A total of 43 of the 46 products sold in Japan were unprofitable. Mr Ghosn identity and independence. ruled that no new model would be developed unless it made money.

When Nissan’s financial situation improved it bought a 15% stake in Renault More changes included the loss of 21,000 jobs, the closure of three and Renault then increased its stake in Nissan to 44.3%. assembly plants and two powertrain plants. Manufacturing capacity utilisation was to increase from 53 to 82%.

Cross-functional teams are a hallmark of the new management style. At Nissan nine such teams were set up, impacting on the goals for the Nissan Revival Plan and subsequent business commitments. They continue to form a key part of Nissan and Renault management.

But Nissan was not the only company to gain from the Alliance. Renault’s teams were soon benchmarking Nissan’s manufacturing operations and technology.

Steering Committees (SCs) handle cross-group orientations under their responsibility, propose priority subjects for the AB Members agenda and coordinate CCT/FTT/TT activities within the specific scope of the SCs. SCs decide on operational matters which cannot be solved at the CCT level and report progress to the Alliance Board and – where necessary – request arbi- trage or a decision confirmation. They support the CCTs/FTTs that are responsible for the implementation of Alliance projects.

CROSS COMPANY TEAMS The structure of joint projects and synergies is primarily based on the work of Cross-Company Teams (CCTs), made up of employees of both companies. Their mission is to act as opportunity hunters and problem solvers. They are also responsible for following up on the implementation of action items. CCTs explore opportunities for synergies between Renault and Nissan, draw up joint projects and monitor their implementation and report to the SC or Executive Vice President/Senior Vice President responsible.

22 23 MAJOR AREAS OF COOPERATION PURCHASING

RNPO (Renault-Nissan Purchasing Organization) was founded in April 2001 to optimize purchasing performance across the Alliance.

To achieve its goal, RNPO defines worldwide purchasing strategy by prod- uct family and selects the best suppliers project by project consistent with the partner companies’ QCD* objectives.

Economies of scale are sought by combining Renault and Nissan order vol- umes and by developing component standardization.

By June 2007, RNPO was covering 83% of Renault and Nissan purchases, with a workforce of 600, drawn from both companies, using shared processes and tools.

RNPO’s worldwide suppliers panel includes both global companies addressing large Alliance-wide order volumes, and local operators offering a close match to the complementary geographical coverage of Renault’s and Nissan’s individual purchasing departments.

The Alliance supplier relations policy is founded on a strong commitment, for suppliers and employees, to the values of trust, respect and transparen- cy, as set out in the Renault-Nissan Purchasing Way.
