Challenge

What are the major challenges when automotive shop floors combine components from many suppliers?

Combining components from multiple suppliers drives up inventory costs, since carmakers must stock and manage many different spare parts
Multiple supplier systems complicate maintenance, as technicians need different tools and know-how for each component
Inconsistent machine interfaces and guidelines make it harder for shopfloor workers to operate and switch between machines
