car manufacturing space


Explanation:
some ideas only


Stephanie

Car manufacturing is divided into production between different TIERS: TIers one, two and three...ONE is the production line per se and motors, two is the assembly of systems {gear box etc] and three is stuff like electrical assemblies.

So without reading your whole text it is hard to know. They could mean something like
- electrical
- mechanical
- body
- design
OR

Tier 1
Tier 2

I meanm, who is the user here? One of the tier manufacturers, right?
Tier 3....

--------------------------------------------------

all the TIERS have SUPPLIERS, for instance, Ford has some 800 tier two and three suppliers.

So, you could say SUPPLIER space. It really depends on understanding how the WHOLE SYSTEM is set up and to whom the assistance is being offered: which suppliers along the chain....

agree  Charlie Bavington: Desite the fact that it sounds like something Fisher Price might make for toddlers, I think it's a good suggestion, which could cover everything from windscreen-wiper specialists to accountants.
