Berylls Strategy Advisors Describes Fact-Based Approach to Choosing Suppliers

DETROIT, Jan. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Carmakers have never faced more uncertainty. Choosing the right suppliers is vital to develop new technologies and keep up with short-term pressures, like economic downturn and semiconductor shortages, as well as the long-term transformation of electric, autonomous, and shared vehicles. Berylls Strategy Advisors, a global management consulting firm fully focused on the automobility industry, today issued a thought leadership paper, "Supplier Selection in Unstable Times." The paper describes a fact-based approach to choosing the right suppliers, which can substantially reduce an OEM's financial and reputational risk – potentially saving millions.

The dimensions of a data analytics-driven supplier assessment include:

• Technical concept and product characteristics
• Development, testing and industrialization of plans
• Manufacturing capabilities and supply chain
• Commercial offer
• Company profile and product history
• Project approach and team capabilities

"Unfortunately, supplier selection is often done with minimal assessment, based on long-standing relationships or a 'gut feeling.' A fact-based approach helps OEMs identify suppliers with a much better cost-to-performance ratio, likely avoiding hidden costs due to substandard quality or missed timing," said Martin French, Berylls U.S. managing director.

The benefits of using a data analytics-driven assessment to choose a supplier include:

• Timing: ensure critical milestones are met from early testing to full production
• Quality: ensure all quality gates are achieved and customer expectations are met
• Cost: avoid unforeseen costs and maintain budgets

This is the second in a three-part series on operations excellence that Berylls is issuing to address the biggest hurdles facing the automotive industry in 2022. To download the paper, visit https://bit.ly/3FFY8UP or contact Berylls U.S. at [email protected].
