Balancing cost efficiency with quality in automotive parts begins at the design stage. Traditionally, mirrored components for left, right, front, and back were standard, but optimizing design upfront can reduce unique parts by a factor of four. This lowers machine setup costs, enhances economies of scale, simplifies logistics, and reduces spare part storage investment. Fewer unique components streamline supply chains, cut inventory costs, and improve supply chain resilience. By reducing part variety, companies can maintain high-quality standards while driving operational efficiency and cost savings across the board.
