When Shawn Fain took the helm of the UAW in March with a pledge to renegotiate contracts, we knew change was in the air. What we didn\u2019t know was whether the process would culminate in a strike or how long it would last. It hardly matters, however, because these types of things are beyond our control.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the Auto Supply Chain Prophets, we prefer to focus on what we <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> control. That\u2019s because change, in itself, isn\u2019t a problem and doesn\u2019t become one unless you\u2019re unprepared. The best way to prepare is by keeping a pulse on our ever-changing industry, deploying the right digital technologies when and where you need them, and taking a proactive approach to resilience planning.

The six-week strike was the longest in 25 years and will continue to have a profound impact on our industry in several ways, some less obvious than others. The most immediate priority, however, is ensuring you\u2019re ready to hit the ground running in a post-strike world, so we\u2019ll put a pin in the ripple effect until <\/span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/autosupplychainprophets.com\/episode\/uaw-strike-supply-chain-turmoil-and-their-role-in-the-ev-journey\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Episode #42<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Episode #41, we caught up with <\/span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/bill-hurles-455265b8\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bill Hurles<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, former Executive Director of Supply Chain at GM. With more than 38 years of experience in the automotive industry and currently serving as Executive Director of the Global Supply Chain Resilience Council, Bill has been through more operational restarts than most of us and knows a thing or two about getting a facility back online quickly and efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The time to begin preparing for restarts is before a strike, or any crisis, is technically over, explains Bill. Leaders need to plan ahead for changes in production volumes and schedules, and the best way to do that is by forging strong relationships with suppliers and breaking down operational silos that prevent companies from responding to disruption with speed and agility. Technology, including tools like <\/span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/solutions\/qad-cloud-edi\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Electronic Data Interchange<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (EDI) that facilitate effective communication, is also your friend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe better an organization can work to eliminate silos, the more efficient they&#8217;re going to be, the communication is going to be better, people are going to be able to anticipate what is being done, and can then thereby react quicker,\u201d explains Bill.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though the strike is over, the aftermath is just beginning and we all know it isn\u2019t the only disruptive force in our industry right now.

As Paul explains in <\/span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/blog\/2023\/11\/electrifying-changes-how-the-uaw-big-3-strike-is-reshaping-the-automotive-world\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this blog post<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, change isn\u2019t new in the automotive industry, but the pace at which it\u2019s occurring is unprecedented and disruptive events like strikes or new technologies are changing the way companies compete.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe heart of the issue comes down to the battery facilities and the union&#8217;s desire to unionize those facilities for a couple of different reasons, but most importantly because that&#8217;s the future of the industry,\u201d says Paul. \u201cAnd if they aren&#8217;t tied to those vehicles of the future, they really don&#8217;t have as strong of a future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paul makes a really good point because the UAW-Big 3 strike means different things for different companies and their employees. While production came to a standstill at the Big 3, it kicked into high gear for other players and created a wider window of opportunity to compete. This is of particular importance because, as we\u2019ve discussed previously, emerging suppliers and automakers in the electric vehicle (EV) value chain are under incredible pressure to bring new technologies to market as quickly \u2013 and affordably \u2013 as possible. If they don\u2019t, someone else will, and that competitive advantage diminishes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paul was one of the very few analysts who forecasted, at the time, the end of the strike stating it would be over by Halloween (it ended the day before) and the reasons why. Additionally, he stated the latest strike, which certainly won\u2019t be the last, is also raising the compensation bar for everyone in the industry, which could alter the economics behind planned investments in EVs and battery factories. Paul urges leaders to recognize that the 20-year cycle of disruption isn\u2019t going to end any time soon, and they need to prepare with adequate <\/span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/documents\/white-papers\/scenario-planning-in-supply-chain-planning.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">scenario planning<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, supply chain resilience and future-focused strategies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat you have to be thinking about is where is disruption going to come from and why?

Setting reasonable expectations is important for boosting retention rates, especially among younger generations, explains Thomas. In addition to using digital tools that create a positive experience for incoming workers, leaders should ask culture-related questions, such as how a candidate would handle challenges in the workplace, during the interview process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Click <\/b><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/autosupplychainprophets.com\/episode\/preparing-the-next-generation-of-supply-chain-leaders-through-innovative-education-gamification-and-talent-focus\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>here<\/b><\/a><b> to listen to the full episode.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Episode #44: Building a Future-Ready Supply Chain through Digitization, Sustainability, and Diversity<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re always operating in the fast lane in the automotive world, so much so that it\u2019s easy to put important, yet less visible, priorities on the back burner.
