App: A car company like Toyota buying a steel supplier ensures steady access to raw materials.
An: This reduces supply delays, improves quality control, and lowers costs. It also gives the manufacturer more bargaining power and independence from suppliers.

Re: 22 Analyse advantages for a car manufacturer of backward vertical integration.
First advantage:
[KN] Backward vertical integration happens when a business takes over or merges with one of its suppliers.
[APP] For example, a car manufacturer might buy a tyre company to control the production of its own tyres.
[AN] This guarantees a steady and reliable supply of essential components, prevents production delays that could stop car assembly and helps the business maintain consistent quality and efficiency.
Second advantage:
[KN] Backward integration can also help reduce costs by removing intermediaries.
[APP] By owning the tyre supplier, the car manufacturer no longer needs to pay supplier mark-ups or negotiate contracts.
[AN] This lowers overall production costs, improves profit margins on each car sold and gives the company a competitive advantage through better cost control.

[KN] Backward vertical integration is when a business takes over or merges with a supplier.
[APP] For instance, a car manufacturer like Toyota might buy a tyre company to secure its supply of tyres.
[AN] This ensures a steady supply of key components which reduces the risk of production delays that leads to more efficient manufacturing, better control over quality and competition against competitor as there resources from supplier can be delayeds hence leads to lower costs for business.
