McLaren: Supply chain transformation in the fast lane

Few companies have the pedigree, history and pure elan of McLaren Automotive, the British manufacturer of luxury, high-performance sports cars and supercars. 

Overseeing all the logistics holding its operations together is Logistics Director Ashley Naughton, who concedes that the most challenging aspect of the role is – aptly enough, given the dizzying speed of its products – “having to work at pace”.

“We make fast cars and we have a fast-moving business, and sometimes that's a bit of a challenge,” he adds.

Helping McLaren drive an ambitious change programme in the right direction is Capgemini, a global leader in consulting, technology services and digital transformation.
