Repurposing production to help fight COVID-19 pandemic

▪ During the outbreak of COVID-19 the UK faced rising


shortage of lung ventilators. In response, aerospace
industry led by Meggitt and automotive industry led by
McLaren and Nissan repurposed their production facilities
to speed up ventilator production.
▪ For example, McLaren used its engineering, logistics and
product development experience and technical
capabilities to speed up ventilator production. The
company was able to produce 50% of components in its
factory and used a network of 117 suppliers to better
source other components.
▪ Thanks to these efforts McLaren was able to produce 200
ventilators a day – four times the typical weekly output of

Automotive industry collaborates to speed up recovery


▪ The outbreak of COVID-19 has disrupted automotive
industry’s supply chains, with smaller suppliers taking the
heaviest hit. To accelerate production of components and
speed up recovery GM and Ford initiated fast-payment
programmes to their suppliers.
▪ In GM example, the company partnered with Wells Fargo to
provide earlier payment to suppliers. GM later pays the full
amount to Wells Fargo once components are received.
▪ European Automotive Suppliers’ Association also makes
coordinated effort to speed up industry’s recovery. In March
2020 the association members adopted Code of Business
