FACING COMPETITIVENESS IN GLOBAL AUTO: THE CHALLENGE TO THAI AUTO PARTS MAKERS

Abstract

A shift to worldwide production of automobiles and auto parts has enhanced the opportunities for developing countries to manufacture and assemble parts, as well as the opportunities for U.S. companies to sell more automobiles in developing countries. Likewise, the intensity of worldwide competition has heightened pressure to reduce costs, affecting all segments of the U.S. auto industry. Suppliers have been forced to cut costs by balancing just‐in‐time delivery with global sourcing.
