Klarius increases parts production to feed shortagesOperations management professionals may be interested to note the Klarius Group has stepped in to provide support to a number of car plants in Europe following the recent earthquake and ensuing tsunami in Japan.

After stepping in to maintain the continuation of the supply of vehicles, the group – which is the fastest-growing car aftermarket company in the European Union – is hoping to satisfy the demand for more than 100,000 parts per month.

Tony Wilson, chairman of Klarius, said: "While the events in Japan are terrible and our hearts go out to those struggling to rebuild and cope with the situation, we have been able to provide support for manufacturing sites in other parts of the world."

He explained the company has already provided shock absorbers and water pumps to various vehicle manufacturers and is hoping production among car plants in Japan will continue to be uninterrupted.

Japan is not the only country under threat from parts shortages. According to General Motors Europe chief executive Nick Reilly, Britain's automotive sector is also being affected by a lack of items being made in the UK.ADNFCR-3058-ID-800515225-ADNFCR
