It is typically achieved through acquiring or establishing its own suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, or retail loc ons rather than outsourcing them. Advantages & Disadvantages of Vertical Integration ‘Advantages Disadvantages Reliability High cost of implementation Flexibility Management difficulties Lower prices for consumers Loss of focus Factors that influence the outsourcing decision in process planning: + Quality + Cost + Speed + Capacity + Expertise + Reliability Production Processes Categories: i Project: + Large investment of funds and resources + Only one at a time production + Long term project + Infrequent product demand + Varied equipment + Example: Shipbuildingii, Batch Production: + Processing many different jobs at the same time in groups or batches + Products and volume in terms of customer order size + Fluctuates product demand + Example: Education iii. Mass Production: + Producing large volumes of a standard product for a mass market + Stable product demand + High product volume + Example: Automobiles iv. Continuous Production: + Producing very high-volume commodity products + Highly automated + Stable product demand + High volume demand + Example: Crude oil production)UESTION 2: Fired Cost = RMIS.000 per yer Price = RM 10 per vast (10 000 9) Veviable Cost = RMS per wait (beakewn Peal)fo ina: QUESTION 3:Factors that are often overlooked in financial analysis of technology: + Purchase Cost + Operating Costs + Annual Savings + Revenue Enhancement + Replacement Analysis + Risk and Uncertainty + Peacemeal Analysis, Computer Integrated Manufacturing: * It is defined as a manufacturing strategy in which a computer controls the whole production process. Computer-integrated automated manufacturing systems are also known by this name. Manufacturing + CIM has grown into a Web-centric platform designed to facilitate the total integration of corporate processes and information systems.Components of e-Manufacturing: 190 7m bank) 4 wor Wont intranet, ) & Ans, mele T BEL (ine (oman ray tay edna fs Coat rN Tbe 7 ie] Cag caeeeed) me] Shatin
