Better quality management can plan ahead so that it's orderly. The boat still takes 10 to 14 days to get to Cali.China's major manufacturing advantage isn't actually that, though that's the fable that's sold. They learned from what America USED to do. Have your suppliers right down the street so that you can change things quickly and not have to wait days for "Just In Time" ... JIT is perhaps the biggest disaster in American manufacturing. Cuts cost at the expense of "whoops - your truck overturned, you can shut down now." Meanwhile in China, you need more, you can walk down the street and throw more on the cart. Your factory stays in production. "Clustering" is what makes it work, not rousting whipped out people two hours after they hit the pillow. |
