Mexico Manufacturing vs. China, Factors to Consider for Site Selection

Tijuana, Baja California (PRWEB) April 26, 2012

How do corporations facing today?s challenges weigh their near-shore manufacturing options? There are important factors to consider such as low-cost manufacturing, strategic location, quality and experience, just to name a few. In this playing fields Mexico certainly makes a compelling case for itself when compared to China.

Low-Cost Manufacturing

In the last decade Chinese labor rates have increased significantly. Today the average wage of a manufacturing employee in China is between $ 1.65 and $ 1.85 per hour, contingent upon the location of the factory as well as the industry they serve.

Mexico, for the most part, has remained stable in its labor rate averaging anywhere from 1.85 to $ 2.25 per hour. Something else to consider is the hours an employee works per week, China has a 44- hour work week and Mexico has a 48-hour work week.

Other cost components are the duties and tariffs imposed on Chinese products imported to the U.S. be they finished goods or raw materials; costs can be significantly higher than those imposed on Mexican products. In many cases, because of NAFTA, Mexican raw materials pay zero duties and finished goods pay only on the value added portion of their cost component when entering the U.S. and some European countries.

Strategic Location

As the saying goes ?location, location, location? and Mexico?s location is ideal for companies selling into the North American and European marketplace. Having a manufacturing facility hours from the consumer saves on transportation costs. The average transit time from the moment a shipment departs China to the time it arrives in the U.S. is 30 days resulting in higher costs. Mexico delivery times are far less; depending on the origin of the shipment, it can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days for a product to arrive at its destination. Mexico?s strategic location is ideal for several other reasons; maintain ?just-in-time? delivery schedules, reaction time to any production or operational issues, maintaining greater operational control of the manufacturing base is less challenging because of its proximity to the corporate office.

Quality and Experience

Mexico?s entry to the manufacturing arena began more than 50 years ago. At its inception, the draw for foreign manufacturers was its low-cost labor rates. Today the Mexico manufacturing landscape is much different; Mexico has attracted global corporations such as Volkswagen, GM, Bombardier, Bose, Eaton and other world class companies by proving technical skills and capabilities to compete not only in North America, but on the world stage as well.

Many of today?s Mexican manufacturing plants reach far beyond simple assembly. It is not uncommon to find companies that design, develop and manufacture some of the most complex products in the marketplace in a variety of industries. Aerospace, automotive, medical and electronics manufacturing companies find themselves at home in Mexico. From pacemakers to airplanes, Mexico meets and exceeds the standards set by world class companies. A close working relationship between industry and higher education has made this possible. Curricula at universities and technical schools are now shaped by the specific demands of industry.

The Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine Manufacturing industry grew over the past five years. Industry revenue is expected to expand at an average annual rate of 1.4% to $ 10.6 billion in the five years to 2012. The industry’s growth, however, masks a period of volatility. The first of two phases of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emission and fuel efficiency regulations took place in 2007, causing a flurry of purchases before the regulatory deadline as it was largely expected that engines would cost more after 2007, resulting in a drop in industry revenue during that year as fewer engines were purchased. This was followed by the recession, which caused a downturn in demand for the industry’s products. However, the industry has turned the corner. International trade jumped in 2011 as emerging economies grew quickly and in turn, freight operators experienced heightened freight volumes. ?These firms purchased heavy-duty trucks and engines at higher rates as demand for their services rose,? said IBISWorld industry analyst Justin Molavi. Furthermore, domestic industrial production rose in response to demand from emerging economies for construction and industrial related goods. As such, engine sales increasingly were sourced from industrial producers seeking to incorporate new machinery or upgrade existing machinery. These trends will continue to benefit the industry during 2012 and industry revenue is expected to increase 2.6% from 2011 to 2012.

The next five years are set to be brighter for the industry. The global economy is anticipated to gain pace, resulting in heightened levels of international trade and demand for industrial goods. In turn, freight operators will order more engines and industrial firms will accelerate their purchases to meet demand for their goods. Additionally, despite the existence of further fuel efficiency and emissions regulations by the EPA, industry manufacturers will be better equipped to meet these regulations amid high demand for fuel efficient engines. Industry firms that concentrate on producing fuel-efficient engines will be competitive over the next five years. As a result of these trends, industry revenue is anticipated to grow in the five years to 2017.

The Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine Manufacturing industries carries a moderate level of market share concentration, with the top four companies in the industry accounting for more than half of industry revenue in 2012. Steady consolidation has driven the growth in market share concentration over the past five years, as the number of industry enterprises is expected to fall. According to Molavi, much of this consolidation can be attributed to the recession’s effect on the smaller industry players, forcing them to exit the industry; however, there has also been significant mergers and acquisitions made among the larger firms over the past five years. For example, in October 2010, Caterpillar Inc. acquired German engine supplier MWM Holding GmbH. This move greatly diversified Caterpillar’s portfolio of engine technology and also solidified their desire to compete on a global scale. Over the next five years, IBISWorld expects concentration to grow further as the biggest firms in the industry continue to leverage their favorable economies of scale in order to acquire niche engine developers.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 02, 2011

The Heavy-Duty OTR Tire Manufacturing industry will continue to gain traction over the next five years, according to IBISWord, the nation?s largest publisher of industry market research. The construction sector’s recovery and continued growth among agriculture and mining markets will drive demand for OTR replacement tires and new equipment purchases, which will spur demand from OEMs. As such, industry revenue is anticipated to increase at an average annualized rate of 2.7% to $ 1.3 billion over the five years to 2016, with revenue forecast to grow 4.6% to $ 1.21 billion in 2012.For this reason, industry research firm IBISWorld has added a report on the Heavy-Duty OTR Tire Manufacturing industry to its growing Mining Services report collection.

The Heavy-Duty Tire industry is rolling its way to a recovery. Revenue is expected to increase at an average rate of 0.1% per year to $ 1.2 billion in the five years to 2011, with revenue growing 3.6% in 2011. Increased demand for construction, mining and agricultural machinery manufacturing and tire replacement for those products has driven the industry’s recovery. Growing demand for off-the-road (OTR) tires in developing nations has also supported the industry’s growth.

The construction, mining and agriculture sectors primarily purchase this type of equipment and OTR tires. In the years before the economic downturn, the Tractors and Agricultural Machinery Manufacturing industry (IBISWorld report 33311) performed strongly, with high food prices boosting farm income, enabling them to purchase more equipment and OTR tire replacements. Then, the recession abruptly ended this growth. Construction equipment manufacturers also felt the pinch from the recession. Construction projects were shelved as the housing bubble burst. These factors resulted in fewer OTR tire purchases from construction machinery manufacturers and less demand for replacements. Demand from the Mining, Oil and Gas Machinery Manufacturing industry (33313) has risen over the five years to 2011, underpinned by booming global demand for mineral and energy commodities. This trend resulted in strong demand for machinery and equipment and the OTR tires sold along with them. Rapid growth in developing countries and the soaring mining industries in North and South America have resulted in exports demanding a significant portion of domestic production.

The next five years are set to be full of green lights for the tire industry and will benefit major players including Bridgestone Corporation, Titan International and Compagnie Generale des Etablissements Michelin. The US economy will gain strength and downstream and export markets will surge ahead, driving demand from original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and for replacement OTR tires. As a result of these trends, revenue is set to grow 2.7% annually to total $ 1.3 billion in the five years to 2016, with growth of 4.6% in 2012. ?During the next five years, rising farm incomes will generate moderate demand for agricultural machinery and corresponding purchases of OTR tires,? says Samadi. Among the construction market, stronger construction activity will encourage companies to invest in new machinery and equipment and OTR tires. Finally, rising commodity prices will cause customers in the mining, oil and gas sectors to resume spending on machinery and equipment and OTR replacement tires.

Simply call of Duty Black Ops – One more Great Manufacturing Treyarch

Article by Carmelo Foster

Phone of Duty 5 accompanies the addition of a lot more perks with the usage of tanks, and changing choppers with canines. Graphics are similarly arguably state-of-the-art with enhanced physics, dismemberment of extremities, and extra gore.

That currently being claimed, any recreation can have massive figures of excess perks and improvements added in the course of, but if the general balance and principle of the game isn’t going to make sense, it does not actually make a difference incredibly a great deal, in my opinion. Irrespective of the fact that COD5 has introduced many new features and developed upon distinct parts, when you take a glance at the general sport-perform and sense of it, issues start to appearance a lot less desirable. Earth at War’s plot is lacking in emotion and luster when compared with COD four, with pretty several memorable scenes, and confined character progress. Taking part in by it seems to a larger extent like a barrage of empty meat-bags that absence everything but a measly bone. Though in COD four, pretty much each and every new mission appeared to have one thing unforgettable, whether or not it was escaping a sinking cargo ship, or trying to evade a nuke, it regularly leaves you wanting extra.

The multiplayer mode similarly leaves something to be sought in COD 5. A ton of the weapons can appear to be unbalanced and ineffective, but at the very same time it looks like there are specific “should use” weapons. Almost everything else is just tossed in there like sloppy bacon – just as something awesome to play with for a even though and then forget about (can you tell I had bacon this early morning?). Issues are vastly favorable for COD four in this respect. Most, if not all, of the equipment in the game is balanced in all factors, so only particular guns will execute optimally in certain circumstances. Even with the point that Name of Duty 5 has developed many great advancements and numerous progressive functions, general it does not definitely make up for the simple fact that everybody will be utilizing the same “must-use” guns in in every match. I assume that it could have, and must have, been a ton greater.

I gave Call of Duty: Entire world at War a fair chance, but have come to some conclusions since, in scenario you hadn’t noticed :) With the absence of stability and worthwhile scenarios inside the campaign, it lends itself to but one perform: Nazi Zombie Co-op, and that’s just about all. If you’re searching for an beneficial all-all-around expertise and wonderful recreation-play, COD4 is absolutely the way to go.

Call of Duty Black Ops is the seventh recreation of the Name of Duty sequence and the fourth sport by Treyarch. For readers new to the interrelation between Get in touch with of Duty and Treyarch, the earlier Simply call of Duty series video games are Simply call of Duty two: Significant Red One, Contact of Duty three and Simply call of Duty: Environment at War. The first announcement of the Black Ops was on 30 April 2010, that mentioned the official launch date of the sport to be on nine November, 2010. This 2010 to begin with human being shooter video clip sport is set close to the confusion of lies and fact of the Chilly War Era and the game trailer graphics suggest a breathtaking display of powerful warfare.
