Outline of Research at the Start

本研究では、需要変動が激しく、かつ部品・製品の在庫費用が莫大な自動車産業において、研究開発・生産規模・供給体制の観点から従来の拠点で生産を行う部品サプライヤーが、国内外の遠隔地に立地する組立工場に対して、どのように空間的懸隔を克服し、JIT(Just In Time)生産を達成しているのか、自動車組立メーカーおよび部品サプライヤー、さらに調達物流を担う物流企業のロジスティクス戦略に着目し、ヒアリング・現地調査およびデータ分析を通じてその仕組みを明らかにする。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

As the main results of this research project, two international joint research papers were published in academic journal and book, focusing on the operations of parts consolidation centers (PCC) utilized by two Japanese and two French car assemblers, respectively, for the long-distance transportation of high value-added auto-parts from domestic suppliers to assembly plants in emerging countries. While many general-purpose and bulky parts are procured from local suppliers or from parts suppliers in the home country who have established local operations, assembler-led container transportation for high value-added parts or in-house products can reduce transportation costs and ensure a stable supply chain. The logistics services and their differences were clarified by the detailed case studies.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

電動化や自動化によって、自動車産業は大変革の時代にある。また、自動車産業は国内製造業(出荷額)の2割弱を占め、関連産業を含めるとその就業人口は500万人を超えている。本研究では、先進国の自動車組立メーカーが新興国の組立工場での生産においてどのようなサプライチェーンを構築しているのか、特に自国の部品混載センターでのオペレーションに着目し、その付加価値活動を明らかにするとともに、今後の技術集約型部品の拡大による国内物流センターの重要性を示した。
