Consider a domestic automobile supply chain: 1 What are the components of the automobile supply chain? What are the different enterprises in the supply chain? What are the goals of these enterprises?

1. The domestic automobile supply chain can be divided into suppliers of raw materials, parts and subsystems, automobile manufacturers, transportation suppliers and automobile retailers. Among them, automobile manufacturing also includes brand, manufacturing, marketing and other links.

2. First of all, there are suppliers of raw materials, such as steel and plastics. Then, there are suppliers of parts, such as engines and tires. Followed by car manufacturers. Then there are transport companies, such as classified land transportation, water transportation and so on. Finally, there are car retailers.

The parent company aims to improve the company's profit, which can be achieved by increasing the product value, raising the price or reducing the cost. However, there will be conflicts in the process of achieving this goal. For example, many companies try to improve customer satisfaction, so as to ensure the reliability of commodity supply by expanding inventory, while some companies think it is more important to reduce inventory costs.
