 Project Overview Globalization is the main thrust within industrial manufacturing companies today. Developing nations desire to participate in the world economy while government regulations NAFTA, the Caribbean based initiative, and the participation of nations such as China in the WTO, have opened doors to new markets around the world. East European and various Asian brands are becoming household names to North American consumers just as North American products are taking hold in remote regions around the world. Achieving this global recognition and managing related initiatives require a company to obtain a tremendous understanding of its global competitive situation. It also requires a keen understanding of value chain analysis in support of the cost-effective manufacturing and distribution of products around the world. Having the skills to benchmark and develop gold-standard practices requires and understanding of various operations processes, value chain analysis, benchmarking and analysis of the global competitive landscape. Firms that understand the elements of the value chain – their own, the industry’s, a direct competitor – take advantage of competitive strengths and addresses or investigates weaknesses.
