We believe that digitalization is the center of gravity for strategic performance improvement. If done rigors and right, digitalization (synonymously “core redesign”) can generate double digit savings along the P&L – which can be utilized for future re-investments. The challenge is to evaluate and identify the right levers, and to implement those levers with speed and scale.
Until today Automotive OEMs/ Tier-1 supplier previously struggle with performance
- Traditional automotive OEMs/ Tier-1 players exhibit rather low profitability/ operating margin
- Convergence of industries (in e-Mobility, ADAS business etc.) create additional pressure on profitability, and bear risk of limited future ability to (re-)act (innovation/ cost leadership, resilience, independence etc.)
- Along R&D, COGS and SG&A, Digitalization is a prime lever to optimize profitability and increase operational excellence (overcoming organizational silos, creating end-to-end data transparency etc.)
When implemented effective & efficiently, individual savings from digitalization can amount to double digit savings (P&L expenditure)
- Shaping the P&L/ realizing benchmark potential primarily meaning footprint optimization (best-cost locations, lean processes, FTE/ overhead etc.), in line with suitable tech
- Automotive OEM/ Tier-1 players can expect highest savings from R&D and COGS (relative P&L gravity; given operations complexity)
- Digitalization around SG&A focuses on "low hanging fruits“ due to often already relatively mature/ standardized processes (accounting, IT etc.)
- Savings: Cost-out existing and/or avoid new total costs
