Shi Qianxi asked.
The economic impact of cars is self-evident.
Cars are indispensable for human transportation.
Apart from houses, cars are probably the most common and expensive commodity in human society.
In order to make cars affordable for ordinary people, they must be produced on a large scale, cutting costs crazily to create profit space, which makes the automotive industry one of the fields with the most stringent production and management standards in human society.
Car companies need to maintain their profits and cash flow through strict cost control and efficient supply chain operations, otherwise, they simply cannot survive. As a result, all the most advanced management models in manufacturing, from large-scale assembly line operations to lean production later, originated from the automotive industry.
