Bottlenecks in a Process:
You purchase parts from three different countries and receive them all in your factory in the U.S
Control chip= China
Transmitter = Japan
Housing = USA
Key Ring = China
Research the country of Japan (Which Provides the transmitter). Identify issues that could affect the supply chain (i.e. Holidays, political struggles, seasonal weather)? Remember that they are a manufacturer of a part you needed to complete an assembly of a product
Help explain how you identify at least one bottleneck you researched and discuss how you can use this knowledge to keep your supply chain running smoothly. Should you change your supplier? How might the differences in culture affect the decision you make?
