Supply chain implications of modularization

This paper explores the development of modular supply within the automotive sector with particular emphasis on the impact that modularization is likely to have on the value‐adding processes of key component suppliers. In addition, a reclassification of the term “first‐tier” supplier is proposed with a view to exploring the attributes necessary for such suppliers to succeed within the emerging modular environment.
