Potential of additive manufacturing for upstream automotive supply chains
The COVID-19 pandemic impact on the global supply systems is continuously on the rise creating an increasing ripple effect across the automotive supply chain network. In this disruptive setting, Additive manufacturing (AM) is perceived by many supply chain professionals as well as by many global automakers amongst best options to handle the disruptions and boost the automotive supply chain resilience. This research is dedicated to analysis up to which extent Additive manufacturing (AM) is a miraculous remedy to automotive supply chain disruptions. To this end, we use the Indian automotive industry as case-model to identify major barriers towards AM wide deployment and derive recommendations on how AM can be successfully used to cope with automotive supply chain disruptions.
