Quality drives “Competitive maturity”

Today, traditional car manufacturers are suffering from disruption resulting from transformation, changes, and risks along their supply chain. Quality becomes more important due to complex requirements across all functions.

“Competitive maturity” varies strongly across sectors

The biggest challenge for companies is to become leading in all key dimensions

The last decade was characterized by mostly stable market and trade conditions, whereas the next decade will be determined by an instable and a permanent changing market environment.

Severe regulations for CO₂ emissions, more restrictive legal requirements, new local or regional tax regulations will affect all dimensions of competitiveness.

Automotive is leading in cost-out, yet can improve significantly across all other key dimensions, i.e. strategy, transformation, quality and speed

What are the next levers for the sectors to improve?

Automotive is leading in cost-out, yet can still improve significantly across all other key dimensions, i.e. strategy, transformation, quality and speed. Quality maturity is suffering especially from the transformation to e-mobility and the required changes along the total value chain.

Example: Quality has become a major concern across the automotive value chain as the # of incidents is on the rise and impact grows
