Abstract
Supply chain management is no longer a local issue. As economies develop, foreign firms from more and more countries become competitive suppliers, and more and more countries become competitive locations for manufacturing. Transportation efficiencies have eased supply chain globalization. Furthermore, the internet has enhanced communication and coordination, simplifying the globalization of companies and enabling supply chain management across borders. Global companies, then, must develop strategic international facility network structures to handle the complex production and distribution of goods throughout the supply chain.
