Mostert, Visteon's director of Asia Pacific Materials Management,
and Anton Liu, director of Procurement & Supply for YanFeng
Visteon (a 50/50 joint venture with Shanghai Automotive Industry
Corporation in Shanghai), will present Visteon's view on several
areas of supply chain management including: evaluating the impact
of sourcing, managing the demands of local and international
growth, coping with underdeveloped service providers, coordinating
changing transport networks, and the packaging demands of a rapidly
expanding market. China is the fastest growing automotive market in
the world, providing both opportunities and challenges for
automakers and suppliers. Mostert and Liu will discuss culture and
infrastructure in China, logistics and supply chain strategies, and
innovative approaches to maximizing opportunities in the
marketplace. Mostert is responsible for Visteon's management of the
complete supply chain in the Asia Pacific region. This role
includes leading Visteon's material planning, logistics planning
and operations procurement. On a regional level, Mostert works
closely with Visteon's Asia Pacific Commodity Sourcing Office in
Shanghai to help develop and refine commodity sourcing strategies
for the region. "As one of the largest automotive suppliers in the
world, we rely on our robust global commodity strategies to help us
leverage opportunities in the region for both local and global
benefit," Mostert says. "On the logistics front, we are working to
take advantage of past cost saving efforts of our regional
operations and combine them with the strength of our global
logistics partners. In doing so, Visteon is moving closer to
optimizing logistics in the Asia Pacific region." Liu oversees the
purchase and delivery of materials (both from global and local
sources) for the YanFeng Visteon partnership in Shanghai, China. In
this role, he leads a team of more than 60 procurement
professionals that manages procurement for the automotive trim
business. For more than 10 years, Visteon has been growing its
