  • Automotive Industry and COVID-19: End of the Road
    Automotive industry and COVID-19: end of the road. The corona crisis has broken the very sophisticated supply chains in the automotive industry. Because of transport restrictions and closure of dealerships, it has almost become impossible to deliver cars to customers or for customers to order cars. Supply of components is also interrupted due to closure of plants for public health reasons (the accelerated rate of corona infections) or interrupted logistics. On top comes a general drop in demand: industrial production in the sector fell already by 12% in 2019. On the other hand, companies have announced to maintain the production of spare parts (crucial for public safety) and the R&D activities related to new powertrains. To deal with the consequences for the workers, most of the companies apply the nationally agreed conventions/rules on short-time work. COVID-19 has provoked an unprecedented crisis in the sector with an effective standstill of car production in Europe and a closed retail network. This will cause a dramatic negative demand shock. Vigorous measures will be needed to avoid plant closures and the permanent loss of jobs. Volkswagen - VW brand has suspended production at its German vehicle and component factories. VW plants in Pamplona (Spain), Setubal (Portugal) and Bratislava (Slovakia) are also closed. - Audi will stop production at its factories in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm (Germany), Brussels, and Gyor (Hungary) by Monday, March 23 - Seat has halted its output - Skoda suspended production at its Czech plants for two weeks starting on Wednesday, March 18 - Lamborghini halted production in Italy - Porsche is stopping production for an initial period of two weeks, starting March 21 - Bentley is stopping production at its factory in Crewe, England, for four weeks starting March 21 - Due to shortage of supply from Europe, production is suspended in VW’s Russian factory in Kaluga and at the assembly line of VW’s contract manufacturer GAZ in Nizhny Novgorod PSA Group - PSA Group is closing its European factories until March 27.

    Magna International, Inc Canada The Challenge of Integration into Global Supply Chains Written by Charles Gastle Founding Partner Bennett Gastle Professional Corporation, Barristers & Solicitors and Heather Gastle1 The case was developed with the cooperation of Magna International solely for educational purposes as a contribution to the project entitled ―IPR Strategies for Emerging Enterprises — Capacity Building for Successful Entry to Global Supply Chain,‖ conducted under the auspices of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC). The case is neither designed nor intended to illustrate the correct or incorrect management of the situation or issues contained in the case. Reproduction and duplication of this case for personal and educational use is encouraged. No part of this case however can be reproduced, stored, or used for purposes other than the above without the written permission of the author(s) and APEC. © 2010 APEC Secretariat 20 Canada Introduction In 2009 there was a limited number of major automobile manufacturers (OEMs) such as Ford, General Motors and Toyota, and the competition for their business was intense among the major autoparts suppliers. Innovation in the design of automotive parts and manufacturing processes was crucial to securing new contracts as automobile models changed and technology evolved. Innovation and design also played an important role in achieving the price milestones established in the contracts that existed ―at will‖ with the major OEMs, which meant that they were subject to cancellation at any time. An industry marked by constant innovation required special corporate processes to recognize an innovative idea that had value and to commercialize it. Magna International Inc. 2 (Magna) was the leading automobile parts manufacturer in North America with sales exceeding $20 billion.
