Friday, July 01, 2005Automakers, Collaboration & CRMI have seen from close quarters how the forward supply chain operation of automobile makers work – myriad issues & complexities – region, language, culture, business procedures, financing , servicing options added to that complexity on acquisitions and mergers, regulatory requirements all make this one of the most complex process in the value chain.
