| dc.description.abstract | The automotive sector in Bangladesh is growing steadily, yet its supply chain
management practices face numerous challenges that impact efficiency and
competitiveness. This study, titled “Supply Chain Management Practices in
Bangladesh: A Case Study on the Automotive Sector,” delves into the key elements of
supply chain operations within the industry, focusing on procurement, logistics,
inventory management, and distribution. Through a combination of primary data from
industry stakeholders and secondary data from relevant reports, the research explores
how local market dynamics, infrastructure limitations, and government policies
influence the automotive supply chain. The study highlights critical pain points, such
as dependency on imports, inadequate logistics infrastructure, and a lack of advanced
technology adoption, which collectively hinder seamless operations. At the same
time, the research identifies opportunities for improvement, including adopting
modern supply chain technologies, fostering stronger collaborations between
stakeholders, and developing localized manufacturing capabilities. The findings aim
to
provide actionable insights for automotive companies, policymakers, and
academics interested in strengthening supply chain efficiency in Bangladesh. By
addressing the unique challenges of this developing market, this research hopes to
contribute to the broader conversation on sustainable and innovative supply chain
practices. | en_US |
