Supply chain management (SCM) has a significant economic impact on business. It is the process of integrating supply and demand management within and between organizations. SCM links the entire manufacturing process, from raw material sourcing and procurement to efficient production, product delivery methods to distributors and customers, and even systems for returning unwanted or defective products. The purpose of this study was to look at the supply chain management issues that automotive industries in India face. Purposive sampling was used to choose 346 engineers, executives, and managers from 16 automotive and related companies for the study. According to the findings, four contributing elements to supply chain management system challenges in the automotive industry include technical and managerial support, supply chain activities, stock out, and payment mode.
