Automotive Tier One OE Supplier Qualities
1) full service engineering support
2) product development
3) global capabilities
4) modular and systems sourcing
5) warranty assumption
6) tough target costing
7) continuous improvements everywhere
8) lean manufacturing capability
• Increased globalization and competition are forcing new realities:- Cost reductions- Tiering- Downloading/outsourcing responsibility for design, sub-assembly- Consolidation- Globalization of vehicle platforms- Modularization of parts systems- Standardization of components- Strategic alliances
But the assemblers continue to restructure, and this brings new opportunities for global players…
In addition to the business opportunities, one mightstill ask, “Why Consider Canada?”
• Canada’s cost advantages of doing business:
- 15% lower overall costs compared to USA (KPMG Study)
- lower corporate taxes
- higher productivity, quality
- full access to North American markets
- business climate: tax regime, innovation policy, programs
Very important is government support for development of Canada’s intellectual capability…
• Canada’s approach to technology:
- becoming global “Intellectual Centre for automotive Research, Design, Development and Testing”
- US $700 million in auto-related R&D investment over last few years
Canada offers real advantages for automotive R&D..

- Combined federal/provincial tax credits reduce the after-tax cost of $100 of R&D expenditures to as low as $44.
-co-operative links to national labs, universities, colleges
-New last week- Ontario government will allocate US $ 330 million to automotive R & D
