STUTTGART: Porsche is changing its supply-chain strategy and opening its own auto-parts storage facilities to cope with shortages amid the Covid-19 pandemic, the Autombilwoche trade newspaper reported, citing the division’s sales head Uwe-Karsten Staedter.

The firm is looking to store enough parts for its models to meet requirements for two weeks of production.

To ease the pressure on suppliers, Porsche is also helping them financially, said Staedter.
