Global Production, Outsourcing, and Logistics Chapter 17 Global Production, Outsourcing, and Logistics

What Are The Main Production Issues For Firms? International firms must answer five interrelated questions Where should production activities be located? What should be the long-term strategic role of foreign production sites? Should the firm own foreign production activities or outsource those activities to independent vendors? How should a globally dispersed supply chain be managed, and what is the role of Internet-based information technology in the management of global logistics? Should the firm manage global logistics itself, or should it outsource the management to enterprises that specialize in this activity?

How Are Strategy, Production, And Logistics Related? Production - activities involved in creating a product Logistics - procurement and physical transmission of material through the supply chain, from suppliers to customers Questions: How can production and logistics Lower the costs of value creation? Add value by better serving customer needs? LO1: Explain why production and logistics decisions are of central importance to many multinational businesses.

How Can Quality Be Improved? Most firms use the Six Sigma program - a direct descendant of total quality management (TQM) aims to reduce defects, boost productivity, eliminate waste, and cut costs throughout the company in the EU, firms must meet ISO 9000 standards before gaining access to the EU marketplace Improved quality reduces costs

How Can Quality Be Improved? The Relationship Between Quality and Costs

Where Should Production Be Located? Firms should locate production so that production and logistics can be locally responsive and production and logistics can respond quickly to shifts in customer demand Firms should consider Country factors Technological factors Product factors LO2: Explain how country differences, production technology, and product features all affect the choice of where to locate production facilities.

Why Are Country Factors Important? Manufacturing should be located where economic, political, and cultural conditions are most conducive to the performance of that activity create a global web of activities global concentrations of activities at certain locations LO2: Explain how country differences, production technology, and product features all affect the choice of where to locate production facilities.

Why Are Technological Factors Important? Firms should consider The level of fixed costs The minimum efficient scale The flexibility of the technology flexible manufacturing technology or lean production mass customization flexible machine cells LO2: Explain how country differences, production technology, and product features all affect the choice of where to locate production facilities.

What Should a Firm Do? Production should be concentrated in a few locations when fixed costs are substantial the minimum efficient scale of production is high flexible manufacturing technologies are available Production in multiple locations makes sense when both fixed costs and the minimum efficient scale of production are relatively low appropriate flexible manufacturing technologies are not available LO2: Explain how country differences, production technology, and product features all affect the choice of where to locate production facilities.

Why Are Product Factors Important To Location Decisions? Two product factors impact location decisions The product's value-to-weight ratio if the value-to-weight ratio is high, produce the product in a single location and export to other parts of the world if the value-to-weight ratio is low, there is greater pressure to manufacture the product in multiple locations across the world Whether the product serves universal needs when products serve universal needs, the need for local responsiveness falls, and concentrating manufacturing in a central location makes sense LO2: Explain how country differences, production technology, and product features all affect the choice of where to locate production facilities.

How Are Location, Strategy, And Production Related? LO2: Explain how country differences, production technology, and product features all affect the choice of where to locate production facilities.

What Is The Strategic Role Of Foreign Factories? The strategic role of foreign factories and the strategic advantage of a particular location can change over time factories established to take advantage of low cost labor can evolve into facilities with advanced design capabilities Many companies now see foreign factories as globally dispersed centers of excellence supports the development of a transnational strategy global learning LO3: Recognize how the role of foreign subsidiaries in production can be enhanced over time as they accumulate knowledge.

Should A Firm Outsource Production? Question: Should a firm make or buy the component parts to go into its final product? Make-or-buy decisions are important to firms' manufacturing strategies service firms also face make-or-buy decisions decisions involving international markets are more complex than those involving domestic markets LO4: Identify the factors that influence a firm’s decision of whether to source supplies from within the company, or from foreign suppliers.

Should A Firm Outsource Production? Vertical integration - making component parts in-house Lowers costs Facilitates investments in highly specialized assets Protects proprietary technology Facilitates the scheduling of adjacent processes Buying component parts from independent suppliers Gives the firm greater flexibility Helps drive down the firm's cost structure Helps the firm capture orders from international customers

Do Strategic Alliances With Suppliers Make Sense? Firms can capture the benefits of vertical integration without the associated organizational problems by forming long-term strategic alliances with key suppliers however, these commitments may actually limit strategic flexibility risk giving away key technological know-how to a supplier

How Do Firms Manage The Global Supply Chain? Logistics encompasses the activities necessary to get materials to a manufacturing facility, through the manufacturing process, and out through a distribution system to the end user the goal is to manage a global supply chain at the lowest possible cost and in a way that best serves customer needs Just-in-time (JIT) systems Web-based information systems Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) LO5: Describe what is required to efficiently coordinate a globally dispersed production system.
