Odolnost globálních dodavatelských řetězců se zaměřením na automobilový průmysl

Problems with the lack of semiconductors and the limited production, associated with the frequent extension of delivery times in the automotive industry, are being vastly discussed these days. This bachelor thesis debates strategies for increasing the resilience of supply chains in the automobile industry during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the thesis is to define resilience strategies and their importance in supply chain management in the automobile industry and to evaluate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the automobile industry. Furthermore this thesis describes specific resilience strategies which have been used during the pandemic by individual companies in the automobile industry. Emphasis is placed on the technologies of the Industry 4.0 and their influence on supply chain management during pandemics and post-pandemics. Much of this work was developed in collaboration with two leading car manufacturers, Hyundai and Daimler, which addressed the COVID-19 pandemic slightly differently.
