Abstract

The keen global competition has caused many manufacturing companies to cut “fats” (or wastes/costs) through strategically moving their manufacturing bases and facilities from developed areas, e.g. Hong Kong, Europe, USA, Canada, etc., to developing countries and areas which provide favourable conditions, such as low labour costs and other cheap resources. This movement is leading to job lose and economic pressure in those developed countries. As mentioned in previous chapters, the OKP strategy could help keeping or re-establishing manufacturing business in these developed countries.
