Materials Management
Materials Management: the activity that controls the transmission of physical materials through the value chain, from procurement through production and into distribution.
Logistics: the procurement and and physical transmission of material through the supply chain, from suppliers to customers.

Where to Manufacture Country factors. Technological factors:
Fixed costs. Minimum efficient scale. Flexible manufacturing (Lean Production).
• Reduce setup times.
• Increase machine utilization.
• Improve quality control
Flexible machine cells.
Mass customization

Single or few locations.
Major market locations if it better meets local demands.
[ Trade barriers and transportation costs remain major impediments]

Product Factors and Location Strategies
Two product features affect location decisions: Value to weight ratio. Product serves universal needs.
Two strategies for locating manufacturing facilities: Concentration. Decentralization.

Strategic Role of Foreign Factories
Initially, established where labor costs low. Later, important centers for design and final
assembly. Upward migration caused by:
Pressure to improve cost structure. Pressure to customize product to
meet customer demand. Increasing abundance of advanced
factors of production.
Dispersed Centers of Excellence are consistent with a Transnational Strategy

Make or Buy Advantages of Make:
Lower costs. Facilitating specialized investments. Proprietary product production technology
protection. Improved scheduling.
Advantages of Buy: Strategic flexibility. Lower costs. Offsets.

Coordinating a Global Manufacturing System
Materials management (includes logistics): Achieve lowest possible cost that meets
customer’s needs.
Power of ‘Just-in-Time’: Economize on inventory
holding costs. Drawback: no buffer inventory.

The Role of the Organization Organizational linkages are more numerous and
complex. More difficult to control costs.
Functionally separate materials management: Equal weight with other departments. Purchasing, production and distribution
are one basic task:• controlling material flow from purchase
to customer.

Role of Information Technology Track component parts to assembly plant:
Optimize production scheduling. Accelerate production, when necessary.
Creating linkages between a firm and its suppliers and shippers. Communicate without time delay. Minimizes paperwork.
