E-readiness of the Automotive Supply Chain: Just How Wired is the Supplier Sector?

This report investigates the use of e-commerce in the automotive industry, with a focus on the lower tiers of automotive suppliers.  Key research used for the effort included focus group interviews with system integrator level suppliers.  The knowledge gained from these interviews was then used to prepare a questionnaire and survey other large suppliers on the use of e-commerce in their supply chains.  This project was sponsored by SupplySolution.
