Car manufacturers are bracing their Supply Chain up for the future. The supply network does not follow yet, although the collaborative design of the parts supply offers tremendous saving potentials. This paper shows the actual state in the supply chain for build-to-order cars and measures to increase the agility of the automotive supply chain. The results of the research and industry projects clearly indicate that the E-SCM can also be implemented in complex industries like the automotive industry. For companies in the automotive supply chain, future business success requires not only improving their own business processes but readiness to open them to their customers and suppliers. This would increase competitiveness of the company and enable faster and more cost-effective manufacturing. On the other side it would also have measurable benefits for the customers, as it would accelerate order processing and reduce prices and delivery time. The main results of the projects can be summarized as: 10 to 8 days lead times for build-to-order cars are possible at present. Significant increase of build-to-order-percentage is in progress. Collaborative structures and IT-Systems must be developed and deployed. Network processes and supporting IT-systems must be standardized. OEMs started to work on agility - suppliers hesitate. The 5-day-car can only come true with an integrated approach including: Product Concepts; Production Concepts; Supply Chain Management.
