C3 Solutions releases white paper on navigating automotive supply chain disruptions

Yard and dock management software provider C3 Solutions has released a new white paper examining the persistent disruptions impacting North America’s automotive supply chains.

Titled Driving Through Disruption, the paper explores the evolving challenges faced by manufacturers, suppliers and logistics providers, including geopolitical shifts, trade policy shocks and production bottlenecks.

“For years, the automotive supply chain has been a marvel of just-in-time precision and cross-border collaboration. But in today’s environment, the rules have changed, and they’re still changing,” said Frank Couture, automotive account manager at C3 Solutions.

The paper encourages industry leaders to move away from reactive strategies and instead adopt proactive approaches centred around automation, supplier diversification, inventory visibility and smarter logistics.

“We’re not here to fearmonger,” Couture added. “We’re here to encourage reflection. Leaders across the automotive supply chain need to take a step back, reframe their assumptions and prepare to operate in a state of ongoing volatility.”

The white paper is available for download on the C3 Solutions website.
