The new approach of the assembler-supplier relations in the World automotive industry is composed of long-term contracts, technical and financial support to the supplier, personnel transfer, communication, collaboration and trust-building, joint product development, emphasis on not only price but also quality, delivery, R&D capability; reducing the number of direct suppliers, increasing the out-sourcing parts, splitting the profit resulting from collaborative activities, and protecting the supplier from any decrease in the demand of assembler’s product.

This study aims to elaborate the assembler-supplier relations observed in the World automotive industry and determine the current situation of the assembler-supplier relation in the Turkish automotive industry, then make evaluation comparing the Turkish case with those countries.
Our study shows that, under its existing organisation and structure, the Turkish automotive industry faces difficulty of competitiveness in EU’s and the other developed countries markets even though the technology level is sufficiently well suited. Despite the fact that some developments have been observed in the assembler-supplier relations in Turkish automotive industry during recent years, the long-term and collaborative relations based on trust building have not been achieved yet.

In the first chapter of this study, the growth of the world automotive industry, competition, analysis of cost and productivity, and international investments in automotive industry are summarised. The second chapter reviews the production systems in the World automotive industry in a chronological order. In the third chapter, after a brief explanation about theoretical framework, the behaviour of assembler-supplier relations in the World is examined. Chapter four illustrates the development of the Turkish automotive industry with current situation of both assembler and supplier industries separately. In chapter five, the results of the questionnaire used for the purposes of this study are put forward and discussed. The related evaluations and recommendations attempt to overcome the shortcomings in the relations and enable the Turkish automotive industry having a competitive structure in the international market.
