Note: This table shows the part procurement situation of three Japanese motorcycle assemblers, Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki, as of March 2007 when this survey was conducted. The procurement manager of each firm was asked to fill in a questionnaire, followed by an interview by VDF staff at the factory. Each circle represents one of these companies. An assembler may outsource any part from more than one supplier, so the number of circles for each part may exceed three. An assembler may procure the same part from more than one supplier in the same nationality or source country. Part procurement information from other assemblers was unavailable.
