Suppliers are becoming partners Number of PSA'S (Peugeot’s) suppliers 2,000
if you are not one of the 600 suppliers to Peugeot in 1995, then you are excluded from half of the French automobile market
if you cannot gear deliveries to Renault within two days, then you are excluded from the other half
suppliers are reorganizing their production lines based on the "just in time" concept mainly by relocating their plants close to the main carmakers' production units
future products (eg. those forced on auto makers by changes in pollution legislation) are being handled mainly by suppliers
