Discussion with Sid Philar from Lucid Motors, focusing on the formation of mutually beneficial alliances, as presented in the Red Sofa Interview.
In September 2024, the Automotive Logistics & Supply Chain Global event took place, organised by Messe Frankfurt. The event was held at the Henry Hotel, Dearborn, and featured a keynote speech from Sid Philar, senior manager of Global Logistics Procurement at Lucid Motors.
Philar's discussion focused on the importance of creating win-win partnerships in the automotive supply chain. He emphasised the need for a collaborative approach in logistics partnerships, stating that strong leadership engagement, right IT investments, fair contract negotiations, ongoing communication, and regular feedback in areas like pricing and operations are crucial for effective partnerships.
Philar also highlighted the need for mutual benefits in logistics partnerships, stating that it's not just about squeezing the supplier. He noted that having teams across operations, material planning, and IT working together is essential for effective integration and standardized contracts.
