Abstract

With the growing number of emerging carmakers, automotive parts manufacturers have to penetrate into emerging markets. They can provide large existing carmakers with fully customized parts because of economies scale, but cannot do this for small emerging carmakers due to their small and highly volatile volume order. Once the order by an emerging carmaker is placed, a part manufacturer is exposed to high risks both of decrease in profit margin and high opportunity cost. The platform-based mass customization can be a solution for cost reduction, but the risks of volatility in volume hard to manage. Tackling this issue, we presents a method of optimizing the product portfolio to maximize profits while managing volatility of volume order by emerging carmakers at an affordable level. It is the first robust product portfolio method to keep the scaled deviation of profits at a fixed level under volume order uncertainty. Also, the effect of on the platform-based mass customization on cost is considered. This model can be a building block of conservative market penetration as well as product development strategy while minimizing the financial risks. We conducted an empirical study of a part manufacturer targeting on eighteen automobile manufacturers in North America, Europe and Asia with it powered lift gate.

자동차 부품기업들은 플랫폼 기반 대량맞춤형 제품개발과 생산을 통해 비용절감과 아시아 신흥시장 수주 확대를 목표로 하고 있다. 그러나 신흥시장은 수주량이 적고, 변동성이 높아 목표 달성이 어렵다. 본 연구는 부품기업 관점에서 신흥시장의 수주량 변동성 위험을 적정 수준으로 관리하면서, 영업이익을 극대화할 수 있는 제품 포트폴리오 최적화 방법을 제안한다. 기존 제품 포트폴리오 최적화 접근법과의 차별점은 세가지다. 첫째, 플랫폼 기반 대량맞춤형 생산에 의한 비용 절감효과를 반영한다. 둘째, 수주량 변동성을 고려한다. 셋째, 최소 영업이익률 유지라는 강건성 조건을 반영한다. 실무적으로는 신흥시장 개척의 재무 위험을 최소한도로 유지하면서, 점진적으로 시장점유율을 높여가는 동적 제품개발 전략 수립의 토대를 제공한다. 북미, 유럽, 아시아 18개 업체에 납품하는 다국적 부품제조기업의 파워리프트게이트 제품을 대상으로 실증연구를 수행했다.
