Issue Large-scale production

• Facts
• At the end of 2002, Nokia had 17 production
  facilities in 9 countries around the world.
• RD centers in 14 countries at the end of 2002.
• To think
• How does it work?
• Cost
• Function
• Design
• This issue may be compared and studied with
  another large-scale production company such as
  Boeing or Intel.

Motivation

• At first, I was rather on the reliability
  engineering but then I changed my mind and
  focused on the large-scale production.
• NOKIA is a huge company that runs more than 10
  production factories around the world. To
  understand a company, it is imperative to focus
  on how this production line works.
• During my search on it, I will have to compare
  some numbers with the Boeing airplane
  production line or the Intel Processor one. I
  think it will be interesting to compare these
  companies.

5
Problems

• Because the production line is so huge, there can
  be major problems that may completely demolish
  the production.
• Problem of Cost
• We are talking about billions of dollars. If a
  new cell phone that costs 100 has a problem,
  then NOKIA loses A LOT.
• Problem of Selling
• Consider that NOKIA created a new model of cell
  phone. Imagine it includes the highest technology
  and design. Today, NOKIA is the best in its
  category but will it be the same in the future?
  What if those new cell phones fail? It could also
  mean the end of NOKIAs dynasty.
