Making the right decisions about the location of manufacturing facilities is vital in order to compete in global markets. Those who make the best choices can gain a major source of competitive advantage. This workbook offers a systematic process to help managers with such decisions as: the selection of new sites, the relocation of existing ones, choosing which sites to upgrade and which to close down.

Benefits of using a systematic process

The workbook's systematic approach offers managers:

• a facilitated decision making process
• the reassurance that important factors are not overlooked
• a transparent decision-making process, encouraging communication between project teams
• a learning tool for inexperienced managers
• reduced demands on senior management time
• improved project management

The workbook is divided into three main sections:

• the strategic considerations that underpin international manufacturing location decisions
• the approach and tools needed to tackle these issues
• worksheets which take users through the decision-making process
