In this section of the discussion, the specialized processes are not adopted by all automotive industry companies, focusing on the certified city. In this regard, (10) has stated that Detroit is one of the cities named Motor city, which thrived for an industrial base before the automobile era. It portrays that industry developed with best practices develops with special processes, and the initiative undertaken escalates the reduction of the campaign, recalls, spills, and warranty claims. Thus, the special process and its initiatives are assessed to be the special assessments on best practices, and it is designed to provide specified means of continual improvement. An organisation’s assessment claims the ability to meet the customer requirements and align expectations accordingly. Further, (11) has emphasized continual improvements for reducing defect prevention in the variation of the supply chain management in the long run.
In reference to the context, (12) has stated that the basic benefits of addressing customer satisfaction have been based upon continual improvement and special treatment. The equipment addressed in the automotive industry includes the transmission, transmission housing, gearbox cases and engine cylinder heads. Apart from that, engine locks, piston rods, water pumps, wheels, flywheels, and water pumps are used as well for better production in the industry. For instance, considering the UK automotive industry, the factories mainly include hammers, screwdrivers, pliers, socket sets, and wrenches. All these types of equipment have helped in better production of the automotive industry, and the size of the automotive industry of the UK has been increasing accordingly. It states the worth, which is more than $80 billion, and the turnover mainly adds a billion values to the economy. On the other hand, (13) has stated that the breadth of all components happens to be manufactured in the automotive sector, and it is quite enormous. The automotive sector has an interdependence between the UK manufacturers and EU partners, leaving different unsolved questions to be answered with fruitful answers.
Thus, through the discussion, it can be portrayed that the industry in the UK is quite more competitive than other automotive industries in the globe. According to (14), labour flexibility is considered a clear advantage, and particularly, the OEMs are considered single suppliers with the country being more competitive. The processes mainly focus upon the collaborative scenario, and it forecasts the delivery schedule with delivery as well as invoice processing system between supplier and OEM.
