Analysis of the critical supply of carbon fiber components in a luxury firm of the automotive industry

The following thesis is based on the work performed during an internship in Ferrari S.p.A., which was conducted in the Supply Chain and Logistics department in the Gran Turismo division, from March 2020 to September 2020. The main topics of the work focus on the implementation of a new management and monitoring system for the critical supply of composite materials, in particular carbon fiber components. Such analysis passes though several steps of data collection, from the inside and outside of the company, towards the elaboration and interpretation of Key Performance Indicators, in order to spot potential critical issues, evaluate suppliers and implement corrective or preventive measures. Moreover, because of the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic, it is shown a brief methodology in order to monitor the readiness to recover of suppliers during a situation of global emergency.
