OFFSHORINGOffshoring is the relocation of a business process from one country to another—usually an operational process: manufacturing, or a supporting processes: accounting.

Fiamm created important production centres in India and in Czech Republic:

INDIA: in 2004 Fiamm established its presence in India with the production of horns for cars, this caused the closing of the factory in France (Clacson).

CZECH REPUBLIC: in 1998 and then in 2005 Fiamm bought plants and transferred the majority of the production of batteries. About 700 employers were hired to speed up production.

REASONS FOR OFFSHORING• Transfer the production to low-wage countries (for example, if 100 is the cost of

labour in Italy, in the Czech Republic falls to 25 and in India under 5)• Cut production costs• Gain access to worldwide capabilities• Overcome the economic crisis

BUT…These decisions were not in line with the union agreement signed for the maintenance of productions in Vicenza.

The company relocated in China and the Czech Republic the production located in factories of Almisano and Montecchio Maggiore(province of Vicenza), resulting in the loss of about 440 job positions.

RESHORINGDefinition: Company currently basing some or all of their manufacturing overseas relocates that manufacturing to the home country.

In 2012 Fiamm decided to reallocate its production in Italy.The factories chosen are: Montecchio Maggiore (Vicenza), the same that was closed 4

years before by the company The improvement for an existing factory in Abruzzo province.

REASONS FOR RESHORINGFiamm found several inefficiencies in the factory located in Czech Republic with respect to the counterpart in Italy:

Low production compared to the Italian factories Industrial waste during the production High employees turn-over Inferior quality of workmanship

In order to avoid this problems the company chose a new strategic plan!

NEW STRATEGIC PLAN IN ITALY: Reallocation of the production and the R&D department

Higher levels of R&D Premium price for Italian quality Proximity to companies’ research centres to make it more attractive React more quickly to changes in demand Minimize coordination costs of departments

…Back to Montecchio Maggiore Bess devices production (Battery

energy storage system) more than one hundred employees Long-term development plan up to 5

years
