Study on the optimization of Chinese automotive supply chain under unstable environment

Abstract

As a pillar industry of the national economy, the automobile industry is one of the fundamental forces in driving domestic demand and promoting economic growth. With the spread of the epidemic worldwide, various parts of the automotive supply chain have been disrupted. The current “supply cut-off” crisis in the auto industry has begun to receive widespread attention, and the impact on the global auto industry chain has already started to emerge. In the face of the increasingly unstable environment, it is worth exploring what impact the epidemic has had on the automotive supply chain, what risks are there for vehicle manufacturers and component manufacturers, and what insights this epidemic has for the upgrading and long-term development of corporate supply chain systems. Based on this, this paper will share some preliminary thoughts on the short-term supply chain response suggestions and long-term supply chain system construction in light of the epidemic from the supply chain perspective.
