Additive Manufacturing of Slow-Moving Automotive Spare Parts: A Supply Chain Cost Assessment

Abstract: This study develops a cost model for the additive manufacturing (AM)-produced spare parts supply chain in the automotive industry. Moreover, we evaluate the economic feasibility of AM for slow-moving automotive spare parts by comparing the costs of the traditional manufacturing (TM) spare parts supply chain (SPSC) with centralized, outsourced AM SPSC. Data from a multiple case study of an OEM in the automotive industry regarding SPSC is utilized. The supply chain costs of 14 individual spare parts were analyze… Show more

“…The outcome of their studies illustrated the benefits of AM in improving SC efficiency in terms of lead time and overall costs. Levin et al [38] modeled both the additive and TM systems to compare their SC efficiency. The results of their study illustrated that AM provides a good improvement in a SC's performance.…”
