1 Global Best Practices Statistical Yearbook 8 th Edition Compiled by Dr. Justin R. Barnes BENCHMARKING CLUSTERING STRATEGY

2 ii Foreword The global automotive market is slowly recovering from the Global Credit Crisis, although the international automotive components manufacturing industry has not escaped unscathed. First, the nature of the recovery has been highly uneven, with a number of developed economy markets stabilising at low levels of demand, as opposed to experiencing real recovery to pre-crisis demand levels. At the same time, markets in China and India have continued to surge. This has placed substantial pressure on the global footprint of many multinational automotive component manufacturers who have found they have excessive capacity in certain markets and insufficient capacity in others. Second, despite the market recovery, automotive component manufacturers have continued to take a battering as vehicle assemblers, desperate to repair their balance sheets, have squeezed pricing, whilst continuing to demand ever stronger non-financial performance from their suppliers. The net result of these factors has been ongoing and severe pressure on automotive component manufacturers across the various sub-sectors of the industry. Whereas heightened firm-level competitiveness was once a means to secure improved margins for firms, it is now clear that the attainment of world class manufacturing levels is increasingly simply a requirement for firm-level survival as firms desperately seek to eliminate waste from every facet of their operations. Given this rather sobering context, we are extremely pleased to present you with the 8 th fully updated and comprehensive Annual Global Best Practices Statistical Yearbook for automotive component manufacturers, prepared by Benchmarking and Manufacturing Analysts SA (Pty) Ltd (B&M Analysts). Emerging from the Global Best Practices Benchmarking Programme, which is coordinated by B&M Analysts, the Yearbook has been developed over a considerable period of time and with the on-going input of a number of international experts. The operational competitiveness benchmarking tool upon which this Yearbook is based is, we believe, the most advanced and rigorous available globally, with the team at B&M Analysts, led by Dr. Justin R. Barnes, refining and advancing its content since the inception of the Global Best Practices Benchmarking Programme in This refinement continues to occur in a dynamic manner, involving on-going and intensive engagements with automotive component manufacturers across the globe. Building on the success of the first seven additions of the Yearbook we present this 8 th Annual Best Practices Yearbook with a great deal of pride, as well as confidence in its ability to add value to the operations of those automotive component manufacturers with the vision to use its data to drive their competitiveness forward. It is important to emphasise that this Yearbook has been compiled to support firms in their endeavours to achieve World Class Manufacturing performance levels. It is strongly focused on supporting firms to direct changes in those areas where performance is comparatively deficient; whilst also empowering firms with the knowledge that where their performance is strong, this should be recognised with a level of confidence. In reference to the importance of objective measurement and the establishment of clear key performance indicators (KPIs) to the recent success of Ford Motor Company, Alan Mulally, the company s highly successful CEO, is quoted in the December 11 th 2010 edition of

3 The Economist, as saying that the data sets you free and that you can t manage secrets. In essence, the argument is that no business executive can drive enhanced firm-level performance in line with customer requirements without systematically understanding the comparative and absolute performance levels of those elements of the firm that define its success and/or failure. This Yearbook provides firms with the perfect tool to do precisely this. Despite the severe contraction of the automotive component manufacturing industry over the last couple of years, we have maintained the database underpinning the 2011 Yearbook s content to a number of firms similar in size to the 7 th edition, with a total population of 358 firms. These firms are disaggregated into 10 automotive component manufacturing subsectors, as well as three firm-size, three market-focus, two economy-type and two ownershipprofile categories. The major changes made to the 7 th edition of the Yearbook have been retained in this Yearbook edition, although one further major change has been made. Based on input received from Yearbook customers we have substantially revised the manner in which data is presented, thereby ensuring that readers are able to rapidly access the information they are looking for. This represents the most important change made to the Yearbook series since its inception. We sincerely hope that your acquisition of this Yearbook leads to your company s participation in the Global Best Practices Benchmarking Programme for automotive component manufacturers in future years. Participation in the programme can be secured by contacting our London office (London@bmanalysts.com). Benchmarking and Manufacturing Analysts is moreover happy to answer any queries you may have regarding any of the data included in the Yearbook. Queries can be directed to London@bmanalysts.com. Whilst we are confident the Yearbook will be of major benefit to you, we are always looking for ways in which to improve its content and format; as such any comments pertaining to its content and structure (either positive or negative) are welcomed, and can be directed to the above address. iii

16 vi About the author Based in Durban, South Africa, where he lives with this wife and four children, Dr. Justin R. Barnes is the Executive Chairman of Benchmarking and Manufacturing Analysts. In addition to the roles and responsibilities that this encompasses, he is a member of the Executive Committee running the South African Automotive Benchmarking Club, whilst also sitting on the Management Board of the Durban Automotive Cluster, the Cape Clothing and Textile Cluster, and the KwaZulu-Natal Clothing and Textile Cluster. These are all highly successful industry development programmes in South Africa that are targeted at fostering the competitiveness capabilities of manufacturers in that particular economy. Internationally, Dr. Barnes is responsible for the Global Best Practices Programme for automotive component manufacturers, as well as a growing international benchmarking programme for clothing and textiles manufacturers. Dr. Barnes has been working in the automotive industry since 1995, when he was appointed Automotive Researcher on the Industrial Restructuring Project (IRP) at the School of Development Studies, University of KwaZulu-Natal. In 1997 he was promoted to IRP Project Manager and rapidly helped develop the IRP into the foremost firm-level industry research institution in South Africa. On the consulting side he established Benchmarking and Manufacturing Analysts in 1997 and then facilitated the expansion of its activities. Given the growth of the South African Automotive Benchmarking Club and the Durban Automotive Cluster Dr. Barnes resigned from his position at the University of KwaZulu-Natal at the end of 2002 to focus on the company s growing interests. Despite the rapid growth of Benchmarking and Manufacturing Analysts over the last one and a half decades, Dr. Barnes retains a direct academic link to the University of KwaZulu-Natal, where he is the Chair of Industrial Studies at the School of Development Studies. Academically, Dr. Barnes completed his BA Honours cum laude in 1994, his MSocSci cum laude in 1995 and his PhD, titled World Class Manufacturing as a necessary but insufficient condition for industry success: A case study of the South African automotive components industry, in To date, Dr. Barnes has published more than 20 academic articles/chapters in prominent international journals/books. In recognition of the role played by Dr. Barnes in respect of the development of the South African manufacturing sector he was named as that country s 30 th most important mover and shaker at the beginning of 2007 (Finance Week, 25 th January 2007).
