Abstract
This Manufacturing Insights study shows that Vietnam is becoming an increasingly attractive option to set up operations and be included as part of the global supply chain. This study reviews three case studies of companies that have set up operations in Vietnam and discusses the advantages and the challenges the companies have faced in their venture there. Some guidance for manufacturing investors and IT vendors considering business opportunities in Vietnam are also provided.
Randy Sng, associate research director at Manufacturing Insights concluded, "The opportunity is there so is the threat, for manufacturing companies seriously considering investing in Vietnam, it must be part of the cost innovation strategy for long-term benefits. The human capital and critical asset investment like IT and energy efficient production plants must be integral to the overall investment plan."
