Leveraging Arbitrage for Global Operational Efficiency PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 23-slide 3 Pillars of Globalization PowerPoint presentation, presents the concept of "Arbitrage" as a key pillar in globalization strategies. It emphasizes the importance of selling the same product in different markets through alternative, cost-effective methods while enhancing operational efficiency. The overview defines arbitrage as a systematic approach aimed at increasing effectiveness and reducing costs by identifying less expensive materials, manufacturing techniques, logistics practices, and funding sources.

The details section outlines several critical points. First, it notes that some companies engage in cost reduction tactics, such as outsourcing, which can often be a reactive rather than a proactive strategy. This highlights the need for a more deliberate approach to globalization. Companies looking to optimize their operations must consider arbitrage as a way to refine their operating models, focusing on throughput, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

The slide further elaborates on the arbitrage approach, which involves analyzing production flow and the entire cost chain. This analysis aims to uncover opportunities for better sourcing, improved sales conversion, and enhanced go-to-market strategies. It suggests that a comprehensive view of all components—materials, factory locations, and personnel—is essential for creating a cohesive and efficient operational framework.

The example of GE Healthcare illustrates the practical application of this concept, demonstrating how the company leveraged arbitrage by substituting proprietary hardware with commercially available alternatives. This case serves as a tangible illustration of how effective arbitrage can lead to significant operational improvements and cost savings. Overall, the slide effectively communicates the strategic value of arbitrage in a global context.
