Example reflection – Mind Map 

 Challenge : 

 Automotive supply chain is one of the most complex supply chains , it associated with multiple actors , a   lot of infrastructure , and money . Moreover , everyone ’s decision accounts for desired output . So , here I ’m   trying to understand 

 1 . How automotive supply chain can be digitized , what workflows are more suitable for digitization    2 . The amount of infrastructure present in the organization   3 . Technologies which are more suitable for each module / process   4 . How the process and key performance indicators ( KPI ) are being monitored ,    5 . What precautionary and diagnostic steps are management is taking , after effective monitoring of KPIs   6 . The various stakeholder and their responsibilities 

 By addressing the above points , I wanted to understand automotive supply chain eco system and scope   for technology advancements . 

 Here I ’m selecting “ Mind Map ” as a tool , as it is very much suitable for explaining a context and   environment . Here I wanted to understand about automotive supply chain , so I believe mind map is a   good for that . 

 Selection : Mind map 

 A mind map is a diagram that displays information visually . The subject of a mind map is always   located in the center of the map . From there , related ideas and keywords branch out in all   directions , resulting in a radiant structure . Mind is effective because 

 •   It ’s radiant structure directly corresponds to the way our brains store and retrieve   information . 

 •   It conveys the hierarchy and relationships between individual ideas and enables you to see   the big picture . 

 •   It makes use of mental triggers ( such as pictures , colors , and connections ) to help your brain   memorize things more easily . 

 Mind map tool can be used to organize large amounts of information , combining spatial   organization , dynamic hierarchical structuring and node folding . Software packages can extend   the concept of mind - mapping by allowing individuals to map more than thoughts and ideas with   information on their computers and the Internet , like spreadsheets , documents , Internet sites   and images . It has been suggested that mind - mapping can improve learning / study efficiency up   to 15 % over conventional notes taking 

 Constructing the mind map is easy and efficient by following these steps . 

 1 . Create the central idea   2 . Brainstorm topics and their selection   3 . Create sub topics 

 4 . Rearrange the topics   5 . Add images and formatting   6 . Add notes and research for justification 

 Application : 

 After deciding on mind map for exploring automotive supply chain ecosystem , I started listing   out various roles , responsibilities , stakeholders , and activities . The stakeholders include tier 3   suppliers , tier 2 supplier , tier 1 suppliers , original equipment manufacturers , dealers , customers ,   third party logistic providers , customs department , regular bodies etc . These all stakeholders can   be grouped into suppliers , original equipment manufacturers , consumer market , and third   parties . After grouping various people into corresponding lots , I started defining links between   each group . Also tried to visualize how supply side , demand side , and process are linked with   each other , what is happening in each sub group . 

 Then I started listing out various manufacturing activities with in OEM i.e. production & stamping   of panels , sub - assemblies , assembling & painting , machining & assembly of engine transmission ,   sensors installation , final assembly . Also listed various departments in OEM i.e. Marketing and   Sales , design wing , manufacturing operations , supply chain and logistics , industrial management ,   purchase , procurement , information technology , human resources , support staff , business   development etc . 

 Then established various links between these entities , illustrated how one is dependent on other ,   also how one is going to impact others works directly and indirectly . All put together illustrated   in below images . 

 Insight & Approach : 

 After illustrating various components in mind map along with relation between each , I developed   an overall idea on automotive supply chain ecosystem . Also , concluded on various   communications between different people , and the challenges faced by automotive supply chain .   With an over all idea of flow between actors , digitization will be efficient and eventually help us   in leveraging better technologies for specific bottle neck or issues . Here I demonstrated mind   map in block level rather than component level , which explains each detail in greater level . The   need for transparent , traceable , visible , and efficient supply chains will drive the digital   transformation in the automotive industry . As emerging technologies are disrupting many   practices , practitioners are required to assess their current stand in entire industry . It is important   for practitioners to be informed about the pros and cons ASC processes , when a firm is adopting   a trending technology it is important to conduct a study to analyses the amount complexity it   brings into along with added benefits .
