In the automotive industry, OEMs rely heavily on a carefully vetted supply chain of tiered suppliers to provide critical components on time and within spec. Whether you are a Tier 3 supplier processing raw materials, a Tier 2 supplier producing a myriad of individual components, or a Tier 1 supplier providing finished goods or sub-assemblies directly to the OEM themselves, it is critical you fulfill your role seamlessly to remain a preferred supplier.
In an industry with tight margins and a low tolerance for delays, it should come as no surprise that Vorne has been invited to speak at numerous events as OEE experts in the automotive industry.
