Strategic Relocation: Manufacturing Operations Analysis PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 59-slide How to Develop a Logically Structured Presentation PowerPoint presentation, presents a structured analysis regarding Cutting Edge Corporation's manufacturing strategy, specifically the potential relocation of its operations from Wisconsin to Mexico. It begins with a succinct summary of the current situation, indicating that Cutting Edge manufactures all its razors in Wisconsin, a facility established 50 years ago due to its proximity to key suppliers. However, the competitive landscape has shifted, with key competitors relocating their manufacturing to Mexico over the past 3 years.

The slide poses a critical question: Should Cutting Edge move its Wisconsin plant to Mexico? This question sets the stage for the governing thought, which asserts that the corporation should indeed close its Wisconsin operation and shift manufacturing to Mexico.

Key lines of reasoning are laid out to support this recommendation. Firstly, it highlights that overall costs in Mexico are significantly lower—75% less than in Wisconsin—allowing for a rapid recovery of moving costs within 6 months. Secondly, it emphasizes the stability of the Mexican operating environment, which is comparable to Wisconsin, thereby ensuring continuity in operations. Lastly, it points out that manufacturing technology in Mexico is more advanced, enabling Cutting Edge to leverage superior capabilities.

The slide effectively communicates the rationale behind the proposed move, focusing on cost reduction, operational stability, and enhanced technological capabilities. This structured approach provides a clear framework for decision-making, making it a valuable resource for executives contemplating similar strategic shifts.
