The
manufacturing system that Henry Ford established in the 19 century has
achieved great success as an integrated total value chain. However the
movement for an unbundled total value chain, accelerated by the appearance
of de facto standard or agent, require top management to shift focus to and
select its core-competence. In addition, top management has faced strict
pressures from shareholders that continuously ask to maximize
shareholders’ value and require the company to show a total capital
strategy including reduction of capital costs. As a result, the disposal of
manufacturing functions and outsourcing has accelerated and reduced both
fixed and liquidity assets, which have lead to the birth of the EMS business
model. In Japan, it is believed that there has always been a Japanese
version of EMS through Keiretsu and affiliated companies for a long time.
However this model has been challenged by the changes in the corporate
management environment such as consolidated management systems and IT
technology which have enabled e-collaboration. This conference aims to
provide the most up to date best practice of manufacturing and R&D
outsourcing focusing on the latest technology of PLM and CPC.
