Supply Chain Resilience for the Automotive Industry

Case study
60% faster risk response, zero production downtime.
Learn how a leading automotive OEM achieved significant improvements to risk response, even through major crises. Their supplier network provides 2.1 billion parts a year across more than 18,000 Tier-1 suppliers, and a million more below them.
Key results
- Risk response time cut by 60%
- Crisis scope narrowed by more than 90%
- Zero downtime across 2.1 billion parts a year
Every tier, every part, every euro at risk
Component-level transparency is a must-have for automotive OEMs, and a prerequisite for the Tier-1 suppliers selling to them. With long lead times and low substitutability, a disruption beyond your direct suppliers can escalate fast.
Prewave traces that exposure deep into the supply chain and prices it against your own parts and revenue.
)
Know what a stopped line will cost, before it stops
In automotive, a stopped production line costs thousands every minute, and margins are already tight. Financial distress, natural disasters and industrial action can all halt supply with little warning.
Prewave prices every disruption against your own parts, stock and revenue, so your teams act on the costliest risks first and turn weeks of scoping into a same-day response.

One workflow for every due diligence law
LkSG, CSDDD and UFLPA all put automotive supply chains under scrutiny, and supplier responsiveness is the sticking point. Some companies send over 1,600 reminders just to collect basic compliance data.
Prewave scopes, assesses and documents supply chain risk in one workflow, detecting regulatory exposure deep in the supply chain from what is actually happening, not from questionnaires alone.
