Use Case II
Discontinued product lines – How to manufacture economically?

Initial situation

Many automotive manufacturers and suppliers face the challenge of ensuring economically viable production even with declining volumes when model series are nearing completion. If internal and external conditions change only marginally, they face a dilemma: production becomes increasingly unprofitable – yet delivery obligations remain. How can this tension be transformed into a strategic opportunity?

Typical challenges:

1

High proportion of fixed costs with declining sales figures

2

The need for a reliable spare parts supply

What is needed is a solution that combines cost-effectiveness and the ability to deliver discontinued series.

To the solution

1

Reducing fixed costs through outsourcing

2
