5 Ways Nearshoring Drives Success in Automotive Engineering

As technology evolves, the level of outsourcing to supplier partners has increased over time, with OEMs focusing on conceptualizing and building the vehicle, its integration, brand presence and establishing seamless customer connections. COVID-19 has exposed the vulnerabilities of global sourcing and emphasizes the need to localize as well as engage closely with suppliers as long-term business partners rather than a transactional interplay. The subsidies extended by the Government for EVs also emphasize the localization of aggregates. 


Diversifying the supply chain by engaging local suppliers and building redundancy in the sourcing of critical components reduces dependence on a single source and minimises the impact of supply disruptions. A localized supplier network to source components and materials closer to the manufacturing facilities reduces supply chain vulnerabilities and minimises logistics costs.

Supplier risk management strategy is essential for automotive companies to identify, assess, and be ready to face potential risks in their supply chain. This could start with onboarding a new supplier, managing supplier collaboration, integrating supply chains, and keeping in mind the impact of natural or geopolitical disasters and any other threats to the supply chain.

Therefore, Supplier Risk Management is an end-to-end activity, beginning with assessing the technical capability of the supplier, manufacturing process and productivity of the supplier, financial strength to run the operations, sustainable quality of the product and services, and competitive pricing to support the volumes and business growth plans of the OEMs.

## Managing Risks and Compliance Processes for OEMs

As OEMs are dependent on a complex supply chain that extends across the globe, market intelligence and predictive analytics are critical tools necessary to manage risks and ensure regulatory and other compliance aspects.

Supplier audits, interactions, and industry forums provide market intelligence. [Industry 4.0](https://hindujatech.com/industry-4-0), telematics, and other software tools help with predictive analysis at the product and process levels.
The decisions we arrive at with this data model will lessen the impact of challenges and pressures the automotive supply chain causes from time to time. Any stress in the automotive supply chain will impact sourcing, extending to Logistics, Technology, Regulations, Resource Availability, Environment, etc. Data Analytics driven by AI-based logic could circumvent all these issues paving the way for seamless operations.

### Action Plans by Hinduja Tech to challenge the contingencies

  1. Increased frequency of financial audits with relevant questionnaires. The data obtained is compared with the declaration. By assessing the financial ratios with relevant questions, the exact position of the supply partner is evaluated                             

      •	For instance, the current ratio, if less than 1, indicates short-term liquidity and solvency issues

      •	Not all the time; higher revenue translates to higher profit. Hence the profitability ratio gave us insights into how the organization can generate profits out of revenue. The contribution margin is an indicator of the profit after the costs of goods sold and services provided are considered

      •	Understanding the liabilities of the company against its net worth gives us visibility of how well an organization leverages against financial risks

  2. Continuous engagement with suppliers and developing a Risk Mitigation Plan    
  3. Alternate source development across commodities and technologies      
  4. Balance the inventory levels to have stock in place if there is an unexpected delay from the supplier   
  5. Ensuring positive free cash flow to the supplier, thereby ensuring smooth flow in operations across the supply chain   
 
Also, collecting the following information about the suppliers helps HT to comprehend their capability to ensure liquidity to meet current or short terms liabilities and their ability to sustain the business in the longer run.

  1. Sources of revenue and the weightage from each of its customers. As an example, if the supplier gets 25% of the revenue from one source, it might lead to a greater risk      
  2. Banks / Financial Institutions backing the supplier and its reputation      
  3. Debts committed to the Supplier by the Lender  
  4. Outstanding Debt / Capital   
  5. Financial Structure of the Supplier    
  6. Future Financing Options

Suppliers play a crucial role in the sourcing and supply of components, and their selection and management are vital for a robust supply chain. In the context of [electric powertrain engineering](https://hindujatech.com/product-engineering-services/powertrain), suppliers, particularly in the [EV industry](https://hindujatech.com/product-engineering-services/electric-and-future-mobility), such as battery suppliers, are key partners in ensuring the availability and quality of components.

Hinduja Tech (HT) recognizes the significance of suppliers and has developed a Supplier Risk Matrix assessment sheet. This tool enables HT to assess and evaluate the strength and reliability of the supply chain. The Supplier Risk Matrix assesses various factors such as financial stability, production capacity, quality control measures, and after-sales support. By using the Supplier Risk Matrix assessment sheet, HT can effectively evaluate the risks associated with potential suppliers, identify any vulnerabilities in the supply chain, and make informed decisions in selecting and managing suppliers. This assessment helps ensure that the chosen suppliers have the capabilities, resources, and commitment to meet the sourcing needs and provide reliable components for the electric powertrain engineering projects.

By deploying the Supplier Risk Matrix assessment sheet, HT can enhance supply chain resilience, minimize potential disruptions, and foster strong partnerships with suppliers, ultimately contributing to the success of electric powertrain projects.

![SRM.png](https://storage.googleapis.com/htlwebsite/SRM_4d12a8e5fb/SRM_4d12a8e5fb.png)


### Why is Supplier Risk Management Critical?

The COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical problems like the Ukraine war, climate change, natural disasters, and others have badly impacted many companies and forced them to revisit their approaches towards supplier Risk Management. For instance, the COVID-19 pandemic is a prime example of how a health crisis can disrupt supply chains on a global scale. Similarly, Ukraine, the producer of copper, an essential input to many manufactured goods and electronics, could not cope with the promised schedules. These disruptions have required companies to gather information from suppliers with Ukrainian operations and adjust their production schedules and processes accordingly. Another recent example of an unanticipated supply chain disruption was when the Suez Canal was blocked by a giant container ship for 6 days. Recently China’s continuous cyber-attack attempts in Taiwan, the major chip source for global operations, pose a threat to hinder the global supply chain in terms of the availability of chips.

It is impossible to predict pandemics, wars, or disasters far in advance, but mitigating their impact on your organization is possible. With statistical data tests, every organisation must continuously work on identifying the vulnerable parts of the supply chain and the impact it would have on revenue generation. With the results, the organizations should identify alternate sources to have a smooth flow of operations.

### Our Strategic Matrix

Hinduja Tech works on the following 5*4 matrix, based on qualitative and quantitative data of any supplier, to assess the Risk in the Supply Chain. 

![SRMsup.png](https://storage.googleapis.com/htlwebsite/SR_Msup_030682cfe5/SR_Msup_030682cfe5.png)

 
A recommendation with a detailed action plan to mitigate the risks is offered to our customers.

### Our Supplier Management Strategy brings the following benefits

  1. Lower Supplier / Sourcing Costs – 14%-38% Reduction achieved 
  2. Reduced Supplier Risk  
  3. Improved Competitive Position in the Market

Having hired its first hundred engineers in Mexico over five years, Hinduja Tech now aims to double that number within the current year alone. Malik expresses confidence that the company can increase both its personnel and revenue in Mexico by at least 25% per year moving forward. Further, he sees significant potential for further growth given the acceleration of EV manufacturing moving to Mexico.
 
Witnessing the power of localization and outsourcing of its customers' engineering in India, the company now sees Mexico as "The New India" to follow that trend. Hinduja Tech's model aims to have approximately 70% of engineering work done in Mexico and the other 30% done remotely with specialized experts from India.
 
Imagine a Hinduja Tech Mexican engineer working in a Japanese, American, or European automobile plant in Mexico, collaborating with colleagues in India — a fascinating mix of globalization and regionalization!
Mexico has already demonstrated that it has the skilled labor force to make auto parts and assemble vehicles in huge quantities. This new opportunity is to "Move up the food chain" by providing higher-level, value-added services.
 
In this case, engineering works to capture more high-skill jobs in Mexico.
These are higher-paid, less labor-intensive jobs that require a college degree and pay middle—and upper-middle-class salaries. Mexico needs to develop these jobs to improve its standards of living.
 
The country is already making strides: while just a few years ago, few women graduated from Mexico's university-level mechanical and electrical engineering programs, Hinduja Tech's Mexico-based engineering team is currently made up of over 10% women, and the company expects that percentage to grow. Its human resources team is made up entirely of women, and the Mexico leadership team is 100% local talent.
 
Thus, Hinduja Tech stands out as a compelling example of an effective company executing this strategy, showcasing innovation and adaptability in today's evolving business landscape.
