SUMMARY
Abstract
This Manufacturing Insights report illustrates the increased importance of
environmental concerns across automotive manufacturers. With governments
increasingly introducing legislation to protect the environment, auto
manufacturers now not only have to comply with new legislation, they also have
to satisfy customers that are demanding increasingly Green products, as well as
manage an environment where the impact of increased costs of raw materials and
consumables are becoming more evident. Companies are increasingly looking to IT
to support their Green initiatives, whether it is from investing in new
applications or seeking the support of the vendors to assist them in deploying
applications to support Green initiatives.
"We expect automotive manufacturing companies in the Asia/Pacific (excluding
Japan) or APEJ region to increasingly turn to technology vendors to support
their adoption of Green initiatives either through the implementation of
applications such as product life-cycle management (PLM) and transportation
management or through consulting services. Going Green starts at the design
phase and we are increasingly seeing companies turn to technology to help them
in the complex decision process at the beginning of a project where
environmental considerations must also be considered alongside cost, time, and
quality," said Christopher Holmes, Vice President, Asia/Pacific Manufacturing
Research, IDC Asia/Pacific
