Sounds logical to me. I never understood this subcontracting thing with many layers. At the end somebody must do the job and has only fraction of original order

Sounds logical to me. I never understood this subcontracting thing with many layers. At the end somebody must do the job and has only fraction of original order revenue.
On the other hand if car companies would buy the few remaining components for electrical vehicles from subcontractors… well, all the cars and brands would be exactly the same with minor adjustments.
- JoachimS 5y agoGoing back 10-ish years or so, basically everybody was writing requirement specifications to be included in RFQs. Primarily sent to the multinational suppliers like Continental. Sourcing and integration was the technical focus. And project management etc. Now it is 100% in the other direction. There are engineers everywhere. Basically, if there is a space (under stairs even), there is a desk with an engineer. Doing serious design work. The new automotive cybersecurity requirements also contribute to renewed need for control and detailed knowledge of subsystems.
