Creating smart productive processes in a way of obtaining products that fulfill costumer`s expectations and desires, but at the same time researching for the production of competitive vehicles with acceptable costs, has been a huge challenge for the automobilistic industry along its history. Most recently, two academic studies have tried to improve the expected results by analyzing the issue compaigns related to the build to order concept in the automobilistic industry. They are the 3DayCar and the Intelligent Logistics for Innovative Product Technologies (ILIPT). The 3DayCar focused the English industry, while the ILIPT focused the European Industry. The present thesis brings to knowledge the vehicle production processes in history and raises the basic aspects of the supply chain function for each phase of them, as well as the understanding of the purpose of the 3DayCar and the purpose, conception, perspectives and first results of the ILIPT. Finally, an analysis of the viability of using both projects at Brazilian Automotive Industry is made.
