Survey Methodology• Who we ask: SupplierBusiness has researched the automotive supply
base for over a decade. In that time the company has gained an extensive global network of contacts. We select and email suppliers, inviting them to participate in an online survey
• Why suppliers respond: The survey provides an excellent opportunity for
suppliers to express their thoughts on their relationships with OEMs. The survey results are covered in Automotive News Europe and SupplierBusiness Analysis (a specialist magazine dedicated to automotive supply base issues). The results are will also be presented at the annual Automotive News Europe Congress. Respondents also receive a copy of the results
• Type of questions: The questions are designed to elicit qualitative
answers. We are trying to find out how suppliers feel about the OEMs, which is subjective. We do not expect suppliers to perform any research before responding

• Supplier choice: At the start of the study we ask respondents to identify which OEMs they work with. Subsequent questions are filtered so that OEMs are ranked only by suppliers that have dealings with them. This applies to all questions except those asking to rate “attractiveness”. Suppliers can have a view on how attractive an OEM is, without having already worked with it

• GM and Ford consistently becoming less demanding since 2006. Of those, Ford North America has improved the most in the opinion of suppliers
• BMW, which appeared to have adopted a more aggressive purchasing strategy in recent surveys has not become significantly more demanding this time. This probably explains, in part, the automaker’s return to the top of the attractiveness chart
