  14. Automotive Tier One OE Supplier Qualities 1) full service engineering support 2) product development 3) global capabilities 4) modular and systems sourcing 5) warranty assumption 6) tough target costing 7) continuous improvements everywhere 8) lean manufacturing capability

  15. But the assemblers continue to restructure, and this brings new opportunities for global players… • Increased globalization and competition are forcing new realities: • Cost reductions • Tiering • Downloading/outsourcing responsibility for design, sub-assembly • Consolidation • Globalization of vehicle platforms • Modularization of parts systems • Standardization of components • Strategic alliances

  16. In addition to the business opportunities, one might still ask, “Why Consider Canada?” • Canada’s cost advantages of doing business: • 15% lower overall costs compared to USA (KPMG Study) • lower corporate taxes • higher productivity, quality • full access to North American markets • business climate: tax regime, innovation policy, programs

  17. Very important is government support for development of Canada’s intellectual capability… • Canada’s approach to technology: • becoming global “Intellectual Centre for automotive Research, Design, Development and Testing” • US $700 million in auto-related R&D investment over last few years

  18. Relative Competitiveness of R&D Tax System After-tax cost of $1 R&D expenditure Quebec Ontario N. Carolina Illinois Ohio Michigan 0.40 0.45 0.50 0.55 0.60 Automotive education and training infrastructure that includes technical colleges, trade schools and universities. Source: Conference Board of Canada, 1999 Additional government support through programs and research organizations. Canada offers real advantages for automotive R&D.. Canada offers the most favorable tax treatment for R&D among the G-7: - Combined federal/provincial tax credits reduce the after-tax cost of $100 of R&D expenditures to as low as $44.

  19. Government support for development of Canada’s intellectual capability cont’d... • co-operative links to national labs, universities, colleges • New last week- Ontario government will allocate US $ 330 million to automotive R & D
