Abstract

Currently, the British automotive industry still has its own benefits within economic situations. As an instance, its automotive infrastructure field is still driving the world. In the case of automotive innovation and framework, the UK also has the ability to drive and collect. According to data from the “European Automobile Association and the British Automobile Manufacturers and Traders Association”, the production of British cars in 2012 was 1.58 million, an increase of 7.7% compared to 2011, while automobile production has maintained steady growth. In 2012, 2.5 million units were supplied. During the same period, German car production declined by 8.1 percent and Spain by 16.6 percent. France lost another 12.3 percent. By 2013, the annual offer for British cars reached 1.6 million units, which has returned to levels well before the financial crisis. The overall development from the Supply Chain to the Extended Supply Chain has been carried out by various enterprises for some time. As one of the largest and dominant organisations in the world, the automotive industry can greatly influence the development of a better society. Although another combination has emerged in the field of original supply chain management, no reviewing department can fully cover the front-line research of the automotive industry. To fill this gap, this research considers the sustainable management of supply chain in the automotive industry, which was adopted around 1995 and 2017. Therefore, the research has performed a persuasive bias analysis and studied the material and their contents. According to the “Icam DEFinition for Function Modeling (IDEF0)”, content analysis is categorised according to several key business structures, which is a common way of separating business structures. The survey provides useful principles for building the automotive supply chain of the surveyor and combines robustly-distributed research theft clauses and recommendations for future investigations.Keywords: sustainable SCM, Automotive Industry, Green SCM, Electric Vehicles

Abstract

AbstractPurpose: Globalized networks of suppliers and manufacturing hubs may fail in the face of high impact and unpredictable events such as Hurricane Katrina, the 9/11 terrorist attack, the Fukushima disaster and the COVID-19 pandemic—known as black swan events. I examine how 3-D printing, a now widespread and powerful technology, may be relevant in this context.Originality: I show 3-D printing in the manufacturing sector will simplify complex and globalized networks thereby making them more resilient to black swan events. The findings of this review article are important for managers and chief supply chain officers in that they can better simplify the chains through the adoption of 3-D printing infrastructure, thereby insulating their businesses from the cascading effects of black swan events.Design/ Methodology/ Approach: The study looks into secondary data (collected from authentic data sources both public and private) sources. The thorough literature review to examine how the design of supply networks can be simplified to improve resilience to black swan events through the use of 3-D printing helps to better substantiate our argument.Findings: I find support for the hypothesis that the adoption of 3-D printing infrastructure in manufacturing supply chain infrastructure leads to simplification of the networks. It facilitates simplification through economies of scale, customization, co-production, better demand prediction, freedom in shape design, allowance for manufacturing postponement, fewer nodes and integration of functionalities to reduce steps in the chain. These contribute to improved resilience through a variety of mechanisms.

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to fathom the importance of battery supply chain including battery swapping and recycling as well as the charging infrastructure as nodes in the electric vehicle (EV) supply chain in India. It also delves into the ways in which Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles or FAME II is addressing these issues.Literature Review: One of the key obstacles in the way to the speedy adoption of EVs is range anxiety. A healthy and expanding network of charging infrastructure has a very important role to play in penetration and propagation of E-mobility. Fame II is also committed towards creating charging infrastructure besides providing demand incentive. The problem of battery waste generation which is an obvious fall out of e-mobility adoption is intended to be addressed through battery recycling and battery swapping – both are at a nascent stage in India with significant potential for growth.Design/ Methodology/ Approach: The study looks into both primary data (gathered through survey) and secondary data (collected from authentic data sources both public and private) sources. The mix of empirical research and direct face-to-face interview with consumers helps to better substantiate our argument.Findings: Adoption of E-mobility is unavoidable so is battery waste generation. Battery recycling and battery swapping can be the two technologies that assume enormous importance with the expansion of EV market in India. Range anxiety, another key concern of the potential and present EV owners, can be taken care of by ramping up charging infrastructure – a key area of focus of the Indian Government in its FAME I II schemes.
