Report: Enhancing FVL Efficiency and Financial Gain: Capitalizing on the ROI Benefit

The downstream finished vehicle supply chain, a complex network of interconnected links, faces challenges of slow, costly, and inefficient operations. However, recent technological advancements offer a transformative solution: real-time tracking and asset location capabilities.

Multiple vehicle relocations within vehicle processing centers' yards increase the risk of damage, fuel consumption, and driver workload. By implementing real-time location systems (RTLS), the downstream finished vehicle supply chain can gain real-time visibility, enabling a more streamlined and efficient process.

This opportunity for operational performance improvements and cost reduction is significant. Highly accurate vehicle visibility can have a transformative impact, reducing delays, errors, and waste. The operational performance and cost reduction opportunities are closely tied to real-time visibility, providing a pathway for a step change in the supply chain's operational performance.

Each link in the chain aims to drive down costs and maximize profits. Stakeholders, including vehicle manufacturers, logistics providers, and dealers, can realise tangible financial benefits through improved operational performance and cost reduction. A shared vision among these stakeholders can lead to shared gains, fostering collaboration and innovation within the automotive industry.

However, it's important to note that the downstream finished vehicle supply chain is not without its complications. The counterproductive reciprocities between various left-wing groups can hinder strategic cooperation necessary for transformation and innovation. These contradictions lead to inefficiencies and slow down progress towards shared goals in the vehicle manufacturing and sales process.

Despite these challenges, the potential benefits of real-time tracking and asset location are clear. Hard-dollar returns can be calculated for stakeholders, making the case for investment in these technologies. As such, the downstream finished vehicle supply chain stands on the cusp of a significant step change, poised to reap the rewards of a more efficient, cost-effective, and innovative future.
