Sotech is at the forefront of cladding manufacture. Two highly equipped production facilities, totalling 65000 sqft, are dedicated to the manufacture of rainscreen cladding panels and fabrications. The manufacturing facilities incorporate some of the very latest manufacturing machinery, including one of the few Pullmax 720 machines in Europe configured to enable fully automatic batch production of blanks. Two further new CNC controlled brake presses provide panels folded to the tightest tolerances. New sophisticated CNC flatbed routers have dramatically increased capacity for bulk production of aluminium composite material (ACM) rainscreen panels. These are optically flat over longer panel lengths than traditional manufacturing in monolithic materials. Visit www.sotech-optima.co.uk for more information.

Mexico has emerged as one of the world’s top automotive producing economies. The nation ranks ninth globally in the production of light vehicles, while U.S.-based automotive manufacturers rank number three world-wide. China tops the list of global producers with 18,264,667 units built in 2011.

The following are some facts concerning the recent performance of the automotive manufacturing sector in Mexico:

• In 2011, Mexico realized a 10% growth in domestic automobile sales. It is expected that the percentage increase will be in the vicinity of 5% between the present and 2015.

• During the last year, Mexico second most imported manufactured goods were light vehicles. Only machinery and electrical equipment exports were higher in dollar value than automotive exports from the country.

• Light vehicle production in Mexico from January â€" November of 2011 numbered 2.3 billion units.

This output represented a historical high, and constituted an increase in automotive production in Mexico of 13.8% over the prior calendar year.

• Mexico’s automotive industry contributed 3.2% to the country’s GDP in 2011, while it made up 18.2% of the Mexico’s overall manufacturing GDP. Collectively the automotive industry in Mexico employs approximately 470,000 workers.

• Major investments in Mexico’s automotive industry in 2011 were made by Nissan, Honda, Mazda, GM and Fiat. German automotive manufacturers such as BMW and Volkswagen continued to play an important role in the Mexican automotive sector.

• The City of Saltillo is a dominant player in the dynamics of the Mexican automotive industry.

It is home to six Chrysler plants. The most recently installed Chrysler manufacturing facility in Saltillo represents an investment of $ 570 million dollars, and employs seven hundred workers.

• Nissan’s investment, one of the largest in the Mexican automotive industry in 2011, represents a $ 2 billion dollar capital investment in the State of Aguascalientes. Production is anticipated to commence in 2013. During the first phase of the project, it is anticipated that one hundred and seventy-five thousand units will be produced annually. This will instigate the creation of 10,000 direct labor jobs in the state’s economy.

As a result of the prominence of Mexico in the global automotive industry, suppliers from a multitude of countries beyond just the United States have identified the country for planned future expansion. Second and third tier suppliers from automotive and auto parts producing nations such as Germany, Italy, Korea, India, Japan and Turkey are making commitments to service customers located in Mexico from a Mexican production facility.

The Offshore Group is well-positioned to enable automotive industry suppliers seeking to set up operations in Mexico at reduced risk and cost through its Mexico Shelter Program. The company’s La Angostura Industrial Park, run by its Saltillo subsidiary, Manufacturas Zapalinamé, is already home to several suppliers to the city and the region’s large automotive manufacturers.

The La Angostura industrial park is located on the south side of the City of Saltillo. It is gated, and outfitted with twenty-four hour human and CCTV security systems.

Automotive suppliers interested in Mexico are invited to tour The Offshore Group’s Manufacturas Zapalinamé.

Question by hoho: How would you assess the Organizational Feasibility of this system? Jay Martin, the director of Marketing at Pier Systems, Inc., requested a new system be developed to assist his sales staff in more effectively managing their customer contacts. As a side benefit of this system, Jay will receive detailed information about each salesperson’s daily productivity, including number of customer contacts, time spent per contact, orders placed per contact, and revenues generated per contact. This detailed information about sales staff productivity has not been previously available to Jay. Jay has been a strong and vocal advocate of this new system, although he has heard some grumbling in the sales staff ranks about it. The sales staff has enjoyed considerable autonomy in the way they conduct their work day, and this system will provide a much clearer picture of how each salesperson spends his/her time. Other top managers have expressed interest in the system, although much managerial attention has been focused recently on the implementation of a major new computer-based manufacturing and production system, which has been far behind schedule and plagued with problems. Based on his discussions with his IS contact, Jay feels certain this system is technically and economically viable. Best answer for How would you assess the Organizational Feasibility of this system?:

Answer by leathersammie
It is a viable system, although his sales staff may feel as though they no longer have the autonomy to conduct their days as they see fit and become restless, possibly even leave the company in favor of a company who has less stringent scrutiny. The fact that the other managers are interested in his system speaks to the obvious benefits afforded them in knowing what their sales staff are doing and how long it takes them, as well as telling them whether or not that sales person is wasting company time on their contacts. Finally, the computer-based manufacturing and production system, while a good idea in theory, because of the problems with it and the failure of the IS department to get it ready on schedule, there is no evidence that it actually is a better system I would go with the system that allows Jay to follow the relative movements of his sales staff and just try to appease their fears that they are being "spied on."
