The Impact Of Information Technology On The Automotive Industry

So far the advances in technology for living, learning, and communicating have gone to a whole new level.

Henry Ford, an American industrialist proved, not only to America but to the world that a car can be affordable to the so called, “Everyday Man”. “Henry Ford did not invent the car; he produced an automobile that was within the economic reach of the average American” (Sorensen 1). Subsequently, Henry Ford’s assembly lines were used in World War II to make equipment for the army. His car company, Ford, still produces one of the most durable and most cost effective car on the planet. In fact, every big car franchise today uses Henry Ford’s one hundred year old assembly line in order to manufacture safe and efficient transportation for everyone. Seeing that, Henry Ford’s moving assembly line has grown more complex because the parts and variety of vehicles being built continue to evolve. As a matter of fact, more automakers continue to improve the assembly line with flexible tooling, virtual engineering and robotics in order to keep up with the demands of the twenty-first century with ambitions of making Henry Ford’s one hundred year old technology better. Above all, making the automobile less expensive was an achievement in the engineer world, and as Henry Ford said, “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress’ working together is success” (“Henry”

The automotive industry is a very important part of American history. We use automobiles every day and we have used them for over a hundred years. They are used for all types of reasons such as in the military, construction, and transportation.

Given the current economic climate, I think the automotive industry is going to be faced with a multitude of economic challenges in the next five years. As an oligopoly market, the auto industry is highly dependent on strategic decision-making, and the demand for dynamic innovation and supply at decreased-cost levels. Competition, possibilities of turning substitutes into compliments, and shifts toward higher demand in services are seemingly leading factors that face the current automotive industry in the immediate future. But first, we should not ignore the political forces at play within the market.

Another new trend changing the world is the Internet. The Internet has revolutionized everyone’s daily lives. From a foreign policy

AutoZone’s strengths are its financial stability that has allowed it become the leading automotive aftermarket retailer. As of May 2016, AutoZone has over $10 billion in sales and over 80,000 employees. Other AutoZone strengths include its over 4,400 locations and its growing numbers (“AutoZone Forbes”, 2016). Also the organization has the ability to provide products for several automobile brands which diversifies its portfolio. Some of AutoZone’s weaknesses includes profitability during a rise in the economy.In the past, it has not met targeted financial goals due to its weakness in commercial repair sales. In 2014, only 17.5% of AutoZone’s 2014 sales were commercial repair, compared to its competitors Advance Auto Parts and O’Reilly Automotive

Navistar further diversified its customer base in 2009 with the $47 million acquisition of recreational vehicle manufacturer Monaco RV.

Automotive Builders, Inc. (ABI) is a company that consistently changed its production lines and strategic goals relative to the needs of the times, starting out producing diesel engine parts for tractors in the 1940’s, switching over to the production of parts for military vehicles during World War II, and then, after the war, settling into its current placement in both the automobile and tractor industry. Due to the downturn in the economy and stiff and superior competition in both quality and price rising up from the Japanese who had recently entered into the industry, ABI is trying to find productive and innovative ways to improve sales and guarantee placement as the number one company in its

The dealers ordered the requirements through fax or phone. This resulted in confusions between the manufacturer and the dealers. The technology that integrates all the different department’s needs should be communicated properly in any organization. This was lacking in the Four Star industries.

The Global Purchasing and Supply Chain division was responsible for streamlining the supply chain and the year 2013 was a good one for the U.S. automotive market as sales rose 7.6 percent to 15.6 million vehicles. This is a substantial comeback from the levels of 2009-2010 when severe recession forced the bankruptcy of General Motors and other automobile companies and caused many other automakers to lose revenue and profits hence reducing labor and operation costs by massive worker layoffs and downsizing by closing manufacturing plants.

The world that we live in is constantly changing. There are numerous inventions and new

It has taken the world by storm and it will keep happening as long as we are around.

Knowing all of this and how far the internet has already come…I realized how much farther the internet really has left to go. In a small window of time, the internet has had an extraordinary impact on how people live their daily lives. It gives the human mind the capability to access new ideas, information and endless possibilities. Which leads to the chronological question, if this is what the internet can do now, what will the future of the internet look like? Even though the internet has already had a significant impact on society thus far, nobody saw it coming even though everybody could predict it. In a world that is constantly changing, the internet is constantly adapting. The true computer revolution has begun but only cracked the surface into the boundless levels it has the capability to reach. In the future the internet will expand in three major areas, speed, intelligence and connection.
