dc.description.abstract |
Not every product can be successfully sourced in low-cost countries. Disadvantageous cost structures or
extremely complex workpiece designs are the most frequent reasons for failures. A design that has been
tailored to low-cost country sourcing offers the possibility of increasing potentials while reducing risks and
costs at the same time. The wbk Institute of Production Science at the Universität Karlsruhe (TH) developed
a new approach which ensures that the product design meets the requirements of the supplier. This paper
identifies the factors influencing the design, deduces basic principles and illustrates guidelines for an
adapted product design. |
