E-parts and component outsourcing is customary in the complex automotive ecosystem. The “just-in-time” model, which is regarded as a classic practice by the automotive industry, was able to help automakers reduce inventory costs and maintain efficient factory operations, but it lacks the flexibility to adjust to the fast-changing business environment.

In addition, the rise of electric and smart cars drastically changes the collaboration model in the automotive industry. Since automobiles require stricter quality validations and the more integrated supply chain management, it is crucial to have the right business partners. The cooperation capacity, response speed, and R&D strength are now the supplier qualification highlights. Automotive manufacturers and suppliers are bound to face various challenges while developing product validation requirements.
