follow you forever!

4,4 come on！

I am working for a middle size manufacturer which has a revenue of CNY 1 Billion in Shenzhen China. My company has gone through following situations recently:

1, Due to the minimum wage law from local government, the labor cost has rised overwhelmingly. Due to the long distance from hometown and difficulty in buying tickets for spring festive, many factory workers refused to come back after the spring festive. Responded to above two reasons, as well as our expansion, we decide to build a new factory in Hunan province which could consume large amount of wokers in neighhood with low wage , while worrying nothing about their sudden absence at all.

2, Knowing news of Japan hit by earthquake , We responded with paying huge amount of cash to Japanese firms for their storage the day right after the earquake. Because supply chain is everything for a manufacturer.


Just for reference.

this article give some reasons for some Mulimanufacturer back to home. i think ,i is the result of our country's long rapid economic growth. it is a good time for us to development our hi-techology ,We must strengthen basic research and research in high technology, promote key technological innovation and systems integration so that technology will develop by leaps and bounds.
PS: in now days ,usa want to keep  leader in every aera is impossible, he must know it !

(4.4)  In fact ,many economists had recognised this phenomennon,with the development of  our nation and the amendment of labor law,this phonomennon will happen sooner or later.The only way out is to transfer from manufactured in China to created in China.
        At the same time,firms should take profit from the supply chain management ,especially, the other parts of supply chain except mannufacturing.
(难度增加的有点快，开始感觉吃力了)

Actually,I doubt the opinion of this article."... manufacturers will be indifferent between locating in America or China for production for consumption in America..." With the growth of China's wage,the equilibrum must appear in some day, but according to intuitive judgement, the time  will be long. If one day most of the US companies draw back the factorys, it's not so late to reach the conclusion of this article.

when the essay mentioned the wages rising prodigiously, it didnt mention the productivity.

Multinational manufacturersMoving back to America
王者归来：跨国制造商重回美利坚
The dwindling allure of building factories offshore
境外建厂的吸引力逐渐减弱

“WHEN clients are considering opening another manufacturing plant in China, I’ve started to urge them to consider alternative locations,” says Hal Sirkin of the Boston Consulting Group (BCG). “Have they thought about Vietnam, say? Or maybe [they could] even try Made in USA?” When clients are American firms looking to build factories to serve American customers, Mr Sirkin is increasingly likely to suggest they stay at home, not for patriotic reasons but because the economics of globalisation are changing fast.
“当客人们打算在中国建一间新的工厂，我会提醒他们---为什么不考虑在别的地方建厂呢？”波士顿咨询的员工 Hal Sirkin如是说。“在越南建厂怎么样？或者，可以考虑在美国本土建厂？”当遇到来自美国的咨询客户，Sirkin先生总会这样对他们说。在美国建厂不仅仅是出于爱国主义，更多是因为全球经济正在快速变化。

Labour arbitrage—taking advantage of lower wages abroad, especially in poor countries—has never been the only force pushing multinationals to locate offshore, but it has certainly played a big part. Now, however, as emerging economies boom, wages there are rising. Pay for factory workers in China, for example, soared by 69% between 2005 and 2010. So the gains from labour arbitrage are starting to shrink, in some cases to the point of irrelevance, according to a new study by BCG.

劳动套利----利用廉价劳动力，特别的是贫穷国家的廉价劳动力，能够产生丰厚的回报。虽然廉价劳动力从来都不是跨国公司境外建厂的唯一动因，但廉价劳动力却是很重要的推动因素。但是现在，随着新兴市场的发展，新兴市场的人工成本已经大幅上涨。就以中国为例，从2005到2010年，工资涨幅为69%。根据波士顿咨询的调查，劳动套利的空间已经大幅缩水了。

Labor cost is not the only thing, product demand also takes an important role in the positon decision. Profit is the firms only purpose.Global industrial chain may still be the mainstream of multinations.

it depends,
some of industries, like pollution, chemecial, mechinary industries amercia would rather leave them outside of homeland. Its cheap and will keep amercian nose cless. As far as i know, China was called "world factory" till last a few years. now, colonialism has started to seek other places, such as Vietnam, Africa, Thailand. However, it doest work well as expected. no countries has such easing regulation like China. As a result of this, procurement chains, china  main industrial sectors have been controlled by international groups already. This leads to the  Labour arbitrage more serious. The reason why America is thinking of going home, is not commodity price or whatever. It is concerning the ratio of input and output. In other word, it started to worry about Made in China's Quality in future whether it  can cater to the demand of American consumers.
Labour price are higher, and even much higher in futhers in America and Western countries. As a manager, it has to think about cost, financial issues.it is impossible to let labor intensive industries go back. The only way to figure out the cost issue  is by all means to depress labor price harder and harder....-_-

As emerging economies boom, wages there are rising

1# eros_zz For many products, labour is a small and diminishing fraction of total costs. And long, complex supply chains turn out to be riskier than many firms realised. When oil prices soar, transport grows dearer. When an epidemic such as SARS hits Asia or when an earthquake hits Japan, supply chains are disrupted.
对于许多商品，劳动力成本在总成本中比例非常小，并且正在呈现出下降趋势。长期来看，综合的供应链的风险性将超乎大多公司的意料。当油价提升，运输成本增加。当如“非典”这样的流行病袭击亚洲，或者地震袭击日本时，供应链就会中断。
这话印证了郎教授几年前的观点。

it is very  wonderful,I will pay more attention on it

As to the subject,I want to say labor cost  account  for  little  while design \ transportation is a big piece,even labor cost is rising,they  will  not  move back .for the significant resson that environmental pollution\resource degradation and so on!

1‘1 不过对于我这个大三的学生来说，还是很有难度的
