Description

The topic of this thesis is the role of a lead factory with emphasis on its configuration and co-ordination aspects. The basis for this dissertation was established by benchmarking 33 companies. During this project the main focus was on the relevance of lead factories in high-wage countries. The global and dynamic business environment requires many companies to pursue hybrid strategies that balance efficiency, global innovation and local responsiveness. The allocation of roles among the sites is expected to enhance the leveraging and building of competences within the manufacturing network. A literature review shows that a wide range of scientists from different disciplines have made a significant contribution to our understanding of site roles. An analysis of all typologies shows that nearly every typology includes a role that equals the definition of the lead factory. However, not a single framework presents a concrete description of configuration and co-ordination elements. In this thesis a model of a lead factory approach is deduced from existing role typologies and from a consideration of resourced- based aspects of multinational companies. This model reflects the strategic function of production as well as the multidimensional target-setting of the company. The practical contribution lies in the development of applicable configuration and coordination aspects that support companies in making the most of their manufacturing capabilities. Using the framework, the strategic relevance of manufacturing sites in high-wage countries becomes visible. The theoretical contribution lies in the conceptualization of a general framework of lead factories that integrates several factories and functions and reflects different aspects of Strategic Management.
