Procurement is the beginning of the global supply chain and is driven by customer demand for goods. In the automotive industry and not only, the timely and qualitative delivery of finished products is an important goal, the customer being 100% satisfied. This paper addresses the issue of improving the supply process in case of urgent changes, especially in the automotive industry, in the processing of electrical wiring, for a number of companies producing vehicles. The Romani car industry grew quite a bit after the 1990s. The arrival of the world’s major car companies has cemented the domestic sector in adopting best practices in the supply chain. This has led to improved competitiveness and increased quantum exports. However, the Romanian car industry must operate in a unique environment that still presents challenges for the supply chain. It is therefore necessary to continuously study supply chain practices in the automotive sector.
