Current Trends and Challenges - German Automotive Supply Industry
Although recent literature finds that the transfer of production and product development activities by car producers into an increasing number of countries has recently slowed down, car producers are still enforcing globalization by other means. Main examples include the global use of common automotive platforms in different models as well as a growing interest of OEMs to source supplies from the same supplier on a world-wide basis. In order to meet their customers' demands regarding just-in-time delivery as well as local regulative requirements including customs and in-country quotas, the pressure on automotive suppliers to create a costly global presence is growing. As a result, the average number of countries in which a sample of suppliers maintains production facilities increased from 5.8 in 1988 to 15.0 in 2003. Product development activities of the same group took place in 5.9 countries in 2003 as opposed to 2.6 in 1988. Wherever financially affordable, it appears that automotive suppliers are following the internationalization of their customers either by geographical expansion or cross-border acquisitions. A second trend frequently addressed in academic literature is the growing degree of outsourcing, McIvor, Humphreys and McAleer. Automotive producers increasingly seek to outsource parts of their production facilities and to purchase full systems of components from their suppliers rather than individual parts. Von Corswant and Fredriksson (2002) show that OEMs were expected to acquire more than 65 per cent of their total turnover in 2003 as purchased materials.
While exposing them to the risk of losing control over the car as a whole, OEMs still benefit from outsourcing a significant degree of their production to a limited number of suppliers. The German Newspapers wrote that the industry therefore need more talents (in German "Karriere bei OEM – Talentmanagement ohne Extras". As a result, they are able to focus their coordination efforts on a few relationships with first-tier suppliers (McIvor et al. (1998)). For the suppliers, however, coordination efforts likewise increase as first-tier suppliers also outsource a growing part of their activities. In the end, first-tier suppliers are increasingly required not only to manage their customer demands up-stream, but also a growing number of lower-tier suppliers down the value chain.
Wait for the next article to continue with that topic.

What will happen if you put an industrial fan blowing it directly onto a opened OEM PC Desktop?
Will it affect the temp at all, given the size of the fan?
Just wondering if the CPU temp and graphic temp will drop drastically.
Thanks for advicing
ive done this...dirt n dust build up immanent...cools things down but not worth risk of damage...an open case is asking for disaster.
Take a look behind the scenes at Muir.
