Overview: Industry intends to accelerate order-to-delivery times. A recent flurry of activity in the auto industry is targeting speed-not of the vehicles themselves, but the time it takes to make and deliver them. Most automakers are reluctant to discuss-are internal changes in the order-management process, supply-chain linkages and outward-bound logistics systems that are aimed at taking time out of the order-to-delivery cycle. That's why automakers have centered many of their other time-cutting efforts around e-business and the ability to share information immediately with the entire supply chain. The paper discusses the statistics of delivery of material and the order of next lot.
