Synopsis
Build To Order: The Road to the 5-Day Car addresses the conceptual and practical aspects for achieving the automotive industry's next goal: the rapid delivery to the customer of a bespoke vehicle only days after placing an order., Over the past 100 years the European Automotive Industry has been repeatedly challenged by best practice. First by the United States, through the development of 'mass production' pioneered by Henry Ford and more recently by 'lean production techniques' as practised by the leading Japanese producers, particularly Toyota. It has consistently risen to these challenges and has shown it can compete and even outperform its competitors with world-class products. However, the European - dustry is now faced with growing competition and growth from new emerging low-cost countries and needs to re-define its competitive advantage to remain at the forefront of the sector. Automotive growth is driven by two factors, new m- kets and new technologies. Global competition is increasing, with technology and product differentiation becoming the most important sales factors, but with c- tinued cost pressure. Within the market the winners will be more profitable and the losers will disappear. The Automotive Industry makes a significant contribution to the socio-economic fabric of the European Union. Manufacturing output represents 700 billion and research and development spending 24 billion. European automotive suppliers number 5000 member companies and represent 5 million employees and generate 500 billion in revenues. These are significant figures that generate wealth and high value employment within the EU. European firms must consistently improve their competitive position to ensure that the industry does not migrate to growing new markets., Over the past 100 years the European Automotive Industry has been repeatedly challenged by best practice.

- 5***w (1181)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book that was shown was not the book that I received. Nonetheless, when I informed the seller that it wasn't the item they advertised-/they were more than willing to make it right. Since they didn't have another copy of the title I was expecting, they promptly issued an apology; and refund full refund. I really appreciated the speed at which they were willing to make things right with this transaction. I will definitely not hesitate to do business with them again. Thank You!

- n***k (175)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAn old favourite of mine from many years ago, in the same high-quality edition I remember. Thanks to this outstanding Ebay vendor, it's now mine once again. The condition of the book was better than advertised, sold at a reasonable price, and appears nearly as new as what I bought 40 years ago. Add to that, the item being securely wrapped and speedily shipped, and I'm mightily impressed. I recommend this vendor wholeheartedly and without reservation. Thank you very much!
