Jan 2007 Mumbai
AIA Founder Member Sunil Khanna spoke about the challenge that auto manufacturers are facing today.Though there are certainly a number of automation and information technology solutions available, the automobile supply chain is still full of hurdles when it comes to passing information from ancillary units to the shop floor. If it takes just 72 hours to actually build and assemble a car in the manufacturer's shop floor why does it take 6 weeks for most cars to get delivered to the show room once the order is placed?
