Fasteners account for a fraction of a vehicle’s total value, yet they carry a disproportionate share of operational risk.

A new case study explores how Optimas International helped a leading automotive manufacturer manage that risk as production volumes increased and supply chain complexity grew.

While fasteners represented just 0.16% of the vehicle’s total value, managing them was a substantial undertaking. With a high volume of SKUs, a diverse global supplier base and thousands of point-of-use delivery locations, all requiring careful coordination to keep production moving.

Read how Optimas delivered a connected, reliable and efficient supply chain, supporting the delivery of more than 42 million parts annually while managing a program where over 90% of the bill of materials is sourced from customer-nominated suppliers.
