3. Introduction
• Many companies, as part of their global portfolio, are manufacturing or considering
manufacturing in low-cost countries.
• Historically, the critical driver of this decision has been low-cost labor however this underplays
the total potential value in a low-cost strategy. For example, products exported from Mexico to
the United States today only include on average 5% Mexican value added, a lot of effort for a
marginal impact.
• When total costs, changing market dynamics, and supply risks are considered many
companies have been retrenching from their initial decisions. But is the pendulum swinging
too far the other way today?
• The Issues are:
– What are they keys to developing a successful Low Cost Country Strategy?
– What are the critical steps to ensuring benefit, managing risk and continuity?
– What role does Sourcing and Procurement play?
• We will explore two cases and the critical lessons learned.

4. Driving a Strategy
• What is the driver behind my strategy?
– Low Cost? -- Expanded Capabilities?
– Market Access? -- New Growth (Acquisitions)?
• How do I choose to source or site LCC capabilities?
– Macro Economics -- Sub-Regional Dynamics
– Financials and Business Attractiveness
– Availability of local or proximate supply
• How do I manage risks?
– Political and Economic Risk
– Business and Financial Risks
– Supply Chain Risks
– Supply Risk

Massively Changing Market Dynamics
• China, Vietnam, India, Turkey Mexico and Brazil are
countries experiencing unprecedented and exponential
economic growth which offer unique opportunities (and
risks)
• After a period of decline in Chinese exports caused by
the financial crisis of 2008 exports from China to the
western world have once again reached unprecedented
speed in 2011.
• Tension in bilateral relations between the EU and China
and the US and China
• Chinese government modified its exchange rate policy
by shifting from a hard peg to the US$ to a link to a
basket of international currencies
• In addition, we are seeing…
– Renewed labor wage inflation on the eastern coast of
China
– Labor unrest in several factories that have made
headlines recently (Foxconn, Toyota)
– Significant increases in container transportation costs
– The imposition of new anti dumping taxes by US and
EU
These trends combined with changing
market dynamics is triggering some
strategic rethinking in companies' global
sourcing strategies

6. Case Study Background
• About a $200 Million Dollar Division of a major company was under significant economic pressure
in its traditional manufacturing structure
• The current default strategy was to source from China, but that led to competitive vulnerability
• The issue was whether there was an opportunity to leap frog competition and gain leverage
through a low cost country strategy.
• The issue was where is the world? At what economics? And what was necessary to manage
risks?
• The analysis involved four stages:
– A Macro Look at Markets for the best cost country and location to potentially position
operations
– A Micro look at comparative economics and risks by down selected location
– Supply localization for targeted regions
– Site Selection, support contacting and launch planning
