A competitive landscape
Automobiles and Parts	Household Goods and Textiles

Automotive manufacturers and suppliers face increasingly difficult challenges as the industry undergoes fundamental changes. Moves by auto parts suppliers to consolidate in order to achieve competitive advantage have had limited success, as they focus on size instead of product dominance.

Successful companies need to be able to anticipate their customers’ wants and needs and deliver them. They also need to create the type of strategic alliances, mergers and acquisition that make sense in a market which has oversupply and therefore changing degrees of power and influence between the parts suppliers and buyers. New technologies and Web-enabled transparency continue to change the way cars are designed, made, sold and even used by consumers. Market leaders are beginning to move to the next generation of capability in search of competitive advantage.

TKP’s approach is to help ensure a wide multifunctional understanding of your business and your environment. Our consultants can then apply the relevant skills that can make the most difference in order to support clients in their search for improved operational effectiveness. At TKP, we have over 60 seasoned professionals who have chosen to specialise in this sector. Having access to consultants with real experience in delivery and an understanding of your specific industry challenges is critical to your success.
