The phenomenon of globalization has increased in recent decades due
to the opening of borders in Eastern Europe and the sudden
emergence of other countries in the global trade economy. Yet, the
process of becoming global to get access to growing markets or to
achieve quality, service, and/or cost advantages from the
reconfigured Value Chains is one of the most complex processes that
companies undertake. Global Production Networks: Operations Design
and Management addresses the challenges that companies face and
proposes a range of innovative methodological approaches when
designing and implementing global manufacturing and logistics
networks. The book provides principles, tools, and techniques to
help managers and practitioners tackle the design and management of
global manufacturing and logistics networks. It presents guidelines
based on the key activities and decisions of operations management
for companies that have begun the internationalization process over
the past few years, focusing on small and medium enterprises, and
includes case studies that show best practices and recent trends.
The author has worked closely with researchers and practitioners
throughout the world to offer a methodological answer for the
analysis and design of global networks with productive
multilocation as well as the design of plants, warehouses, and
supplier networks in new international contexts. The text also
outlines the GlobOpe (Global Operations) framework and roadmap that
outlines a logical path to identifying sources of competitiveness
when designing and managing Global Production Networks. The process
of internationalization in global markets has often been tackled
from the business point of view, but rarely from the perspective of
the production and logistics systems that support it. This book
takes an in-depth look at the strategy of production and logistics
operations, providing a roadmap for managers who need to analyze,
assess, define, and deploy the operations strategy in their
companies.
