Market and Capacity Allocation from the Perspective of Global Logistics– A Case Study of FCCL Material Supplier / 全球運籌觀點下之市場與產能配置–以FCCL材料供應商為例

碩士 / 國立臺灣科技大學 / 工業管理系 / 100 / In the early days, China had the advantage of low labour cost, and attracted global capital, technique, and human resource into the Chinese market, which led to promote the economy growth in China. Taiwan and Hong Kong had the highest proportion, about 70% of the market share. Others like Japan and the U.S. also had high domestic production costs; therefore, some parts of the production lines were moved to China as well.
In the results of Clustering Effect, following Taiwanese electronic technology industries moving to China, the original suppliers also invested new plants in China. Upstream industries such as the Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC), which require high demand of manpower, also followed this trend and relocated to China, mainly located in the regions of Chang Jiang Delta and Pearl River Delta. Under this development, the economic and trade activities are more frequent. There are many productions and marketing activities between Taiwan and China, hence the logistics became flourished.
In the past, low-cost unskilled labour was the major facto to determine the location of the factory. However, recent political and economical powers also have the great impact, such as exchange rate fluctuation, and regional trade agreements. With the change in political and environment in recent years, RMB appreciation and the implementation of Labour Contract Law, the labour costs in not as low as before. It has gradually entered high-cost ear and will continue rising.
Recently Free Trade Agreements (FTA) is also becoming popular worldwide. China and Taiwan has signed Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA). From 1st January 2012, 90% of goods are customs duty-free, which will help Taiwanese goods to export to China. Different trade protection systems will affect to the global logistic planning of business. This study will take the largest Flexible Copper Clad Laminate (FCCL) supplier in upstream of FPC supply chain in Greater China Groups to discuss how to plan the logistics management for both sides of Taiwan and China.
This study applied single case research method to discuss the strategies with global logistic aspect and explore how the customs duties preferences will impact the cost calculation in different import method, and compare the time of shipping logistic from the production plant to the warehouse, then to consider if the capacity allocation needs to be re-planned and adjusted, therefore the business can reduce total operating costs and meet the efficiency of customer satisfaction.
