reduce the cost of same by considerable amount.

This layout requires less floor area per unit of production

Manufacturing time is smaller which reduces the investment in work-in-

process inventories.

Delivery commitments to customers are more reliable and easy to

conform.

The work is simplified by breaking into elemental tasks that may be

mechanized wherever possible. It leads to the reduction of labor cost.

Same types of jobs lead to the training and specialization among the

workers. Quality control is easy to exercise and more effective.

Conclusion Nike does not directly own any factories; they hire factory

owners to produce the shoes using the materials and designsprovided by Nike.

The largest producers of Nike shoes are the factories located

in China, Vietnam and Indonesia.

Malaysia, Pakistan, India and Thailand are other majorproducers

The Nike Company focuses almost exclusively on designing

the shoes and, after the manufacturing, advertising and

marketing them in the most appealing way possible.

Though their facilities comply with local labour standards,

generally, they have not met U.S. standards.
