The capability to manufacture products in the global marketplace is being revolutionized by technological advancements, the opportunity to capture innovation and capabilities from worldwide sources, the enticement of entering new markets, and changing business and political models. Many view this opportunity as creating an inflection point for manufacturing which could provide leaders and fast followers with a competitive edge in leveraging and penetrating the global marketplace. The Tennenbaum Institute at Georgia Tech has the mission of providing knowledge and skills for enterprise transformation. The Institute has focused on developing transformation strategies and capabilities related to large-scale enterprise transformation. Such strategies and capabilities are applicable to all enterprise transformations and can be used to accelerate the transformation and minimize waste of any specific domain transformation. The Institute has recently selected manufacturing as one of its domain focus topics and this publication is intended to document progress on the transformative challenges of manufacturing in a global enterprise. The intent of this chapter is to: 1) provide an introduction to the topics of enterprise transformation and manufacturing in a global enterprise, 2) introduce the reader to how the publication is organized, how it flows, and how a specific global manufacturing case study creates the thread that links the chapters, 3) discuss the research challenges, 4) introduce the reader to the Tennenbaum Institute's enterprise transformation research approach and strategy, and 5) review the motivation and challenges related to manufacturing in a global enterprise. |
