Summary:

"This book is the first among many books in supply chain management, which provides the readers with insights on how to select the best global supply chain out of inter-firm network, fables system or market firms. This process is clearly expounded in the book through case studies, which include Apple, Toyota, BMW, IKEA and Taiwan TSMC. The main editor, Prof Yasuhiro Monden, is the founding father of Lean Production Management who published Toyota Production System from IIE in 1983, which is called the classic of Lean System. This book will explain how the global supply chain (GSC) could be organized by considering causal relationships of the stage differences in (1) market needs, (2) product design architecture, and (3) product life-cycle, for the purpose of reducing the total costs of GSC.-- Provided by publisher.

Contents; Japan Society of Organization and Accounting (JSOA); Editorial Board; Preface; About the Editors; List of Contributors; PART I: Lean Management of Global Supply Chain Management; 1. Lean Management of Global Supply Chain: Dynamic Combination Model of Market, Product Life-Cycle, Product Design, and Supply Chain; 1. Theme of the Study; 1.1. Proposition for building the optimal supply chain: Causal relations among market needs, product life-cycle, product architectures, and supply organizations; 1.2. Dynamic business model for lean management

2. Reasons of the Causal Relations among Various Factors2.1. Several concepts in the Dynamic Combination Model; 2.1.1. Concepts of the "production or purchase costs per unit" of product or service; 2.1.1.1. "Make of buy" decision should be made by the "unit production cost" and the "unit purchase cost": A case study of Toshiba; 2.1.2. Concept of the "product design architecture"; 2.1.3. Concept of the "supply chain structures"; 2.1.3.1. Two concepts of parts from the product design architectures: Specialized parts (or custom-made parts) and common parts

2.1.3.2. The suppliers from the inter-firm network and the suppliers from the market2.1.3.3. "Hybrid Supply Chain" that uses both market and inter-firm network (Keiretsu); 2.1.3.4. "Fabless" supply chain as the hybrid of market and inter-firm network; 2.1.3.5. Cost-reduction efficiency versus attractiveness by differentiation; 2.2. Autonomously evolving factors; 2.2.1. The reason why the "market needs or wants" will transit from low-end products to the high-end products in the emerging countries and reverse in the advanced countries

2.2.2. The reason why the "PLC (or industry life-cycle)" will proceed from the growth stage to the maturity stage and finally reach the decline stage2.3. Causal relationship between two factors; 2.3.1. The reason why the "market needs or wants" will determine the product architecture; 2.3.2. The reason why the "PLC" will determine the product design architectures; 2.3.3. The reason why the "product design architectures" will determine the supply chain systems; 2.3.3.1. The reason why the "integral type product" will be best suited for the vertically integrated firm or the inter-firm network

2.3.3.2. The reason why the "modular type product" is best suited for the market-based transaction3. Verification of the Proposition on the Optimal Supply Chain through the Case Study of the Electronics Industry (e.g., Smartphone) that has the Shorter PLC: Optimal Causal Relations in the Growth Stage of the iPhone's PLC; 3.1. Global supply chain of Apple's iPhone; 3.2. Development of iPhone; 3.3. Final assembly of iPhone; 3.4. Semiconductor (system LSI) of iPhone; 3.4.1. Excellent performance of TSMC and their business model

3.4.2. Can high performance of TSMC be explained by the "smile curve" theory of electronics industry?
