Centralism or Autonomy? Insights into the decision allocation within International Manufacturing Networks

2024-02 , Fabian Specht , Jens Kaiser , Gwen Louis Steier , Kevin Gleich , Thomas Friedli , Gisela Lanza

The right balance between centralization and autonomy in International Manufacturing Networks (IMNs) is the subject of an intensive debate within academic literature and practice. As part of a focus group with 18 industry experts at IMN management, we examined this topic in more detail. We could contribute to the scientific discussion with the latest insights from industrial challenges by identifying and evaluating the most critical challenges and the decision allocation within 14 diverse manufacturing companies.

Reshoring and operational performance: the moderating effect of digitalization

2023 , Oliver Von Dzengelevski , Torbjørn Netland , Fabian Specht , Thomas Friedli

This study examines the relationship between near-and reshoring activities and digital maturity in the operational performance of Swiss manufacturing companies. We use data from the 6th Swiss Manufacturing Survey, which was conducted in 2022. The simple effect of reshoring on production costs is negative; however, we find it to be positively moderated by digital maturity. We also find that the effect of nearshoring on production cost is positively moderated by digital maturity. With regard to product quality, we find no significant link to reshoring or nearshoring. Concerning delivery reliability, we find that the simple effect of reshoring is positive.

Current Topics in International Manufacturing - Implications from Industrial Use-Cases

2024-02-11 , Kevin Gleich , Gwen Louis Steier , Jens Kaiser , Fabian Specht , Gisela Lanza

Designing the strategy, configuration and coordination of international manufacturing networks is a complex task, influenced by a variety of internal and external factors. Therefore, there is no one-size-fits-all approach for the design and management of international manufacturing networks, especially with the rising volatility of the last years. For this purpose, four different industrial use cases are presented to show topics in international manufacturing that companies are currently dealing with and how they are addressing them.

Swiss Manufacturing Survey 2021 – A national study

2021 , Friedli, Thomas , Specht, Fabian , Deitermann, Ferdinand , Ritz, Marten , Helbling, Jessica Rebecca

Die jährlich stattfindende Erhebung hat das Ziel, die aktuelle Situation des produzierenden Gewerbes in der Schweiz aussagekräftig darzustellen und über ihre langfristige Ausrichtung einen möglichen Strukturwandel abzubilden. Der Fokus auf produzierende Unternehmen liefert neue Informationen, die durch andere Umfragen bisweilen nur unzureichend abgefragt werden. Durch diese Transparenz erhalten Unternehmen, Verbände, Wissenschaft und Politik die Möglichkeit, Entwicklungen sowie Trends zu identifizieren, zu analysieren und entsprechend zu agieren.
