With all 3 majors now declaring their exit strategies, what risk is there of a supplier going under earlier and bringing everyone down with them ahead of time??
We have seen issues in the past where issues with an odd supplier has caused production delays - I'm wondering if all the required suppliers will be able to stay in business long enough to keep feeding Ford, Holden and Toyota the parts they need for the next 3 years given they will all be facing the same fate or trying to reinvent their business to stay afloat. When you see the numbers of how many suppliers are involved to support the bug 3 and presumably a large number of them are shared across the board it is quite a worry how much has to go right over the next 3 years for the exit strategies to go to plan. I hope I am well wrong but I think it is a risk that really hasn't been considered given the top down focus to date. |
