Cheg9 Slucy TextoOOK Solutions APETEGA Tibo's Supply Chain Case Study My Supp! Logist 4th Ed Sol Making Phones in China Making Phones in China Tibo Inc. is an American consumer electronics company. Its most popular and flagship product is the v10 smartphone. The first generation Tibo V10 was introduced in 2007, and the company will be launching a new generation of the V10 soon. In 2016 alone, Tibo sold more than 140 million V10 smartphones and the model has easily become the most popular smartphone in the world. Tibo became the world's largest technology company as a result of a strong network of suppliers. For ten years, Tibo has been using China-based company Wolftan, the world's largest contract manufacturer, to assemble almost all its V10 smartphones. None of the 140 million V10 smartphones sold in 2016 were manufactured in the U.S., while 85 percent were assembled in China. The relationship between both companies has been mutually beneficial, until recently. China has long been a popular choice for many companies outsourcing their manufacturing. Goods can usually be assembled or completely built for a relatively low cost.Wolftan employs over 120,000 factory workers to make Tibo's new phones at its factory in Songxia, China. Wolftan has been in the world news lately after several incidents of dangerous and unethical labour practices were reported. The company has been accused of low wages, excessive overtime and dangerous and unsanitary working conditions for its workers. Wolftan has repeatedly denied the allegations. Although Wolftan also manufactures electronic products for other consumer brands, as a high profile technology giant, Tibo has received the most attention. The alleged negligent labour practices at Wolftan have led news reporters to bring to the public's attention to other practices by Tibo, and now the entire company faces a public relations and supplier relations crisis. The Media Reports Tibo CEO Chez Goodman has assembled a team of executives to discuss the strategies for responding to the press reports and alleviating the challenges now being felt by Tibo. He has asked for the input of several executives, including Virginia Chin, a spokeswoman for Tibo, and Terry Valdez, Tibo's chief procurement officer. The highlights of the media reports on Tibo Included the following poinks: Tibo outsourced over 800,000 jobs in 2016, taking jobs away from thousands of Americans. Tibo's aggressive supply chain practices have forced Chinese suppliers to find cheaper ways to do things and push their workers to work faster and longer Although Tibo has implemented a supplier code of conduct, there have been several violations by Chinese suppliers like Wolftan, and Tibo has been slow in responding, Wolftan has been disputing the allegations, but photographs and videos have been surfacing on social media worldwide. The team discussed each point during the meeting and decided that they mostly reflected the truth, but only in a negative way. At the next press conference, Virginia would be responsible for turning these points into a positive outlook for consumers around the world.

Bring Back the Jobs to the U.S. SR225 Chez advised that he was speaking to someone at a private dinner function and someone else overheard him say, "The factories in China produce our phones really quickly and on a much larger scale. It just makes sense for us, as not only do we source most of our assembly jobs from China, but most of the parts needed to make the V10 are from China. The jobs won't be coming back to America any time soon." This statement was later reported to the media. The decision-making process used a few years ago to outsource the manufacturing and assembling of Tibo's products to suppliers in China was justified. Tibo saves over USD 20 billion a year in labour costs by going to China. The average daily manufacturing wage in the U.S.is USD 39, whereas in China it is USD 3. Terry purchases high quality products for 10 percent of what he would have to pay for these products in the US. There is little to no issue with finding labour in China, as many people are looking for work. Moreover, there is a good and large supply of the raw materials needed to make the V10 already in China. Practically, all the factories that make different components for the phones are located close to each other. Cheg9 Slucy TextoOOK Solutions APETEGA Tibo's Supply Chain Case Study My Supp!
