Global Manufacturing Strategies
Manufacturing Configuration
Should manufacturing be centralized in one country or should we
have manufacturing facilities in specific zones to service those
zones or should we go multidomestic with a facility in each country
When should we have a centralized location?
When should we go for multidomestic location?
Coordination and Control
Linking or integrating activities into a unified system is called
COORDINATION
Defining organizational structure and reporting systems to ensure
timely implementation of policies is termed as CONTROL
Global Manufacturing Strategies
Plant Location Strategies
Transportation costs, duties, proximity to customers and
suppliers, foreign exchange rate risk, economies of scale in
the production process, government incentives, climate,
technological requirements of the manufacturing process.
Plant Layout Planning Strategies
physical arrangement of economic activity centers within a
manufacturing facility
Every manufacturing facility cannot have the same type
layout—local conditions such as cost of labor, cost of land,
local culture must be considered in deciding about the plant
layout
