3 Background U.S. Domestic Economy
Motor vehicles and equipment account for about 9 percent of the total manufactured goods (U.S. Department of Commerce, 1998) About 4 percent of manufacturing employment (U.S. Department of Commerce, 1998) About 5 percent of personal consumption was spent of motor vehicles and parts; greater than $250,000 million (BEA, 1998) Major end user of key materials such as alloy steel, aluminum, and synthetic rubber creates derived demand (Womack, 1998) Source: Interoperability Cost Analysis of the U.S. Automotive Supply Chain, Smita B.

4 Background Manufacturing Supply Chain Tiers
Original Equipment Manufacturers “Big Three” (Daimler Chrysler, Ford, GM) First Tier hundreds of companies some large, some small Infrastructure Suppliers Subtier thousands of companies mostly small Source: Interoperability Cost Analysis of the U.S. Automotive Supply Chain, Smita B.

5 Background Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG)
The Automotive Industry Action Group is a globally recognized organization founded in 1982 by a group of visionary managers from DaimlerChrysler, Ford Motor Company, and General Motors. The purpose: To provide an open forum where members cooperate in developing and promoting solutions that enhance the prosperity of the automotive industry. AIAG's focus is to continuously improve business processes and practices involving trading partners throughout the supply chain. Source: About AIAG, 8/21/ Copyright 2002 Sterling Commerce, Inc.

9 Automotive Supply Chain Tier – Present Status
Migration Migration occurs over time and tier Collaboration sophistication increases with time Upper tiers can move lower tiers to greater sophistication only as fast as aggregate costs for migration can be consumed Service File Collaboration Sophistication Message Yesterday Today Tomorrow Lower Middle Upper Automotive Supply Chain Tier – Present Status Adoption Migration E5v2 Bisync FTP SMTP E5v1 ebXML Collaborative Framework ebXML Message Service 8/21/ Copyright 2002 Sterling Commerce, Inc.

10 Automotive Supply Chain Tier – Present Status
Migration Historically, cost for sophistication decreases over time; more comes free with what ever you are buying Waiting for low cost solutions may mean lost opportunity Service File Collaboration Sophistication Message Yesterday Today Tomorrow Lower Middle Upper Automotive Supply Chain Tier – Present Status Adoption Migration E5v2 Bisync FTP SMTP E5v1 ebXML Collaborative Framework ebXML Message Service 8/21/ Copyright 2002 Sterling Commerce, Inc.

11 Automotive Supply Chain Tier – Present Status
Issues Increasing sophistication can increase complexity, which drags time to cost reduction because of increased implementation cost Return on investment is hard to justify against existing long lived working solutions; legacy solutions inhibit migration to new solutions Service File Collaboration Sophistication Message Yesterday Today Tomorrow Lower Middle Upper Automotive Supply Chain Tier – Present Status Adoption Migration E5v2 Bisync FTP SMTP E5v1 ebXML Collaborative Framework ebXML Message Service 8/21/ Copyright 2002 Sterling Commerce, Inc.

12 Automotive Supply Chain Tier – Present Status
Issues The promise of ebXML was for small and medium organizations: the lower tiers of the automotive supply chain ebXML: Needs to support ‘transient channels’, ie IP dialup, where there is transient connection at one end Service File Collaboration Sophistication Message Yesterday Today Tomorrow Lower Middle Upper Automotive Supply Chain Tier – Present Status Adoption Migration E5v2 Bisync FTP SMTP E5v1 ebXML Collaborative Framework ebXML Message Service 8/21/ Copyright 2002 Sterling Commerce, Inc.

13 Direction Adoption and Initiatives Proposal
The going forward solution announced by Covisint Automotive Manufacturing Data Exchange (AMDX) Forth coming announcements by AIAG and Original Equipment Manufacturers It will take time – tactical implementation of pieces of the ebXML framework to achieve a long term strategic solution Proposal AIAG Message Routing Work Group has proposed Transient Channel be considered as an addition to CPP/CPA to address requirements for ‘dial up’ 8/21/ Copyright 2002 Sterling Commerce, Inc.
