The Sourcing Strategy of Multinational Firms in Agile Manufacturing Environment
With the globalization and international production integration, sourcing strategy increasingly becomes the important strategy for multinational firms in gaining its competitiveness. And agile manufacturing, as the 21st century manufacturing paradigm, is seen as the winning strategy to be adopted by manufacturers bracing themselves for dramatic performance enhancements to become national and international leaders in an increasingly competitive market of fast changing customer requirements. And agility is also the successful exploration of competitive bases. So, sourcing, as a preparative stage in manufacturing, must match with the agile manufacturing environment. In this study, we first review give a simply review about the taxonomy of sourcing strategy, and then analyze the principle elements of agile manufacturing, finally we suggest that an agile sourcing strategy should be developed in an agile manufacturing environment.
