Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 75.00, , course: Doctor of Philosophy, language: English, abstract: In this research, SCM practices in automobile industry in India were a descriptive cum analytical research. It needs an understandable specification of who (automobile companies in India), what (SCM practices ¿ SRM, CRM, LM and ICT), when (until year 2019), why (found gaps) and way (survey- questionnaire, F2F Interview, through email) of the research. The figure-50 has shown the brief research design of the study. During the literature review, it was found that Indian automobile companies were not able to minimize their supply chain cost effectively & efficiently and there were gaps in expectations (agreement) and perception (adoption) level of SCM practice. To understand and analyses these gaps, this research was carried out. Indian automotive industry (Both automobile & components) contributes almost 7.5% of total GDP and one of the biggest job creator sectors directly or indirectly. India is gradually taking the lead and growing its global competition. India is lagging behind in terms of commercial vehicle production if we compare it globally, therefore, it needs more focus, collaborations and investment to catch up the market share at global space. SCM contributes to overall value creation for any organization including automobile and hence firms are focusing on strengthening their supply chains more efficient and competitive. Current supply chains are facing multiple disruptions like Covid-19 pandemic, technological disruptions like 3D Printing, IoT, AI/machine learning, internet things such as movable machine (robots) for warehouse operation, etc. and challenges such as visibility, cost reduction, innovation, supplier relationship, customer relationship, risk management, security & safety in logistics, ICT infrastructure, and customer expectations.

In the contemporary automotive manufacturing industry, service providers are continuously working to improve system optimization in order to remain competitive in the market and deliver quality products to satisfy their customers. With this comes the possibility of failure, rejection and reworking of the components or services in the system, which can incur high costs and impact the reputation of an organization. This book uses Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) to assess, investigate and predict the Risk Priority Number (RPN) of potential failures for three companies within the manufacturing industry:A metal component supplier in the automotive sectorPart manufacturer for the automobile and engineering industriesManufacturer of suspension components for commercial vehiclesIntegrating human expertise and artificial intelligence on a single platform, the authors use fuzzy logic as a tool to overcome the vagueness associated with traditional methods of assessing potential failures. The book also details the procedure and scales of how to conduct FMEA, offering guidance on how to input and rank each risk within manufacturing processes across a range of sectors's. Each of the three real-world cases offer suggested improvements for the companies themselves, alongside takeaways for researchers and professionals within the fields of manufacturing and supply chain management.

Modern Manufacturing Organizations are applying advanced manufacturing technologies like Just-in ¿Time philosophy in Manufacturing and to enhance the manufacturing operations through process modification. The right time delivery of the product is important for this organization to retain itself in competitive world. Some JIT practices are capable of performing through strategic implementation towards manufacturing performance improvement. JIT means what and when the costumer want .So, as the literature suggests there is lot of work done on JIT approach level but research is still lacking to check the performance at strategic level or at the level of importance of different JIT practice in the manufacturing organizations in Punjab. So an attempt has been made to determine impact of strategic implementation of JIT practices and its impact on manufacturing performance in manufacturing industry of Punjab. The performance of manufacturing strategies like JIT needs to be accessed at strategic level.Modern Manufacturing Organizations are applying advanced manufacturing technologies like Just-in ¿Time philosophy in Manufacturing and to enhance the manufacturing operations through process modification.

Les organisations manufacturières modernes appliquent des technologies de fabrication avancées, comme la philosophie du juste-à-temps, et améliorent les opérations de fabrication en modifiant les processus. La livraison du produit au bon moment est importante pour cette organisation afin de se maintenir dans un monde compétitif. Certaines pratiques JAT sont capables de fonctionner grâce à une mise en ¿uvre stratégique visant à améliorer les performances de fabrication. JIT signifie ce que le client veut et quand il le veut. Ainsi, comme la littérature le suggère, il y a beaucoup de travail fait au niveau de l'approche JIT mais la recherche manque toujours pour vérifier la performance au niveau stratégique ou au niveau de l'importance des différentes pratiques JIT dans les organisations de fabrication au Pendjab. Une tentative a donc été faite pour déterminer l'impact de la mise en ¿uvre stratégique des pratiques JAT et son impact sur la performance de fabrication dans l'industrie manufacturière du Punjab. La performance des stratégies de fabrication comme le JAT doit être accessible au niveau stratégique.

Chapter 4 presents a detailed survey to determine the present status of continuous improvement strategies in the Indian manufacturing industry, to assess the important barriers that effect the implementation of CI strategies, and to also assess the role of key enablers leading to improve the performance of manufacturing operations.
