挑战

Joyson Safety Systems (JSS), a global leader in mobility safety, faced several challenges in managing its supply chain risk efficiently. The automotive industry is governed by strict regulations and standards to ensure product safety, quality, reliability, and business integrity. As a tier-1 supplier of safety systems to automotive manufacturers, JSS had to ensure compliance with these laws and rules. The company also had to monitor the financial stability of its suppliers, many of whom were small to mid-sized businesses. The merger of two global automotive suppliers to form JSS in 2018 further complicated matters. The company had to deal with multiple interfaces of systems and databases, and the lack of a systematic approach to supply chain risk management. The company's risk reporting was based mostly on downloads from various regional systems, which were then consolidated manually. This led to inefficiencies and increased the likelihood of human errors.
