The research object of this paper is the model of correlation between automobile manufacturers and auto parts manufacturers in major automobile manufacturing countries of the world. After first analyzing the characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of typical “assembly-components” relationship models in US (Ford model), Germany (Volkswagen model), Japan (Toyota model) and China (Geely model), this paper explores the degree of correlation between companies involved in these typical models, and in the end draws conclusions and points out the deficiencies of the research.
