“…In addition, the automotive industry is often characterized by a diversity of models, a large number of spare parts as well as shortening product life cycles [15]. Further, maintaining a high service level is essential for the automotive industry in order to secure vehicle up-time for the customer [17]. Neglecting the customers' needs could damage the profitable relationship the aftermarket provides [17].…”

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 analyzed, and the total SPSC cost for the AM and TM, were compared. Three of the fourteen parts showed potential for cost-savings, if they were produced with AM instead of TM. In this context, AM polymer parts showed greater potential than metal to replace TM as the more economical option of manufacturing from a total supply chain cost perspective. This study shows that the AM competitiveness to TM, from a financial perspective, increases for spare parts with low demand, high minimum order quantity, and high TM production price. The SPSC cost model included: cost of production, transport, warehousing, and service costs. This study contributes to the emerging field of part identification for AM and the existing literature regarding cost modeling in SPSCs.

“…The consequences of legislative measures in the after-sales market should not be neglected; therefore, the government is also an important stakeholder (Dombrowski, Engel, & Schulze, 2011b). Besides the attempt to increase the competition further, influential factors exist in order to establish lower prices for the customer.…”
