At present , the high inflation in the economy made companies met with difficulties in : - Production - Pay salary for staff - Promotion of marketing ... To settle those difficulties , reduce costs of production is a project that businesses should be consider . However , how to reduce costs of production don't make infulence to product quality , production situation of the Co. ? Surely that problem isn't simple ! So we should have a overall look about this matter . The costs of production include : - input cost / costs of material - sale cost - managerment cost - inventory cost So to reduce costs of production , we should be reduce costs of those factors and save material . Beside that : there are investment for technology , make long-term relationships with suppliers to enjoy preferential prices. Special : appropriation of capital by increase the pay date line is also a trick in business. Of course , still have other projects better to agree for each Co. That is points by me about this matter Good luck !
1. The reasons for cost advantage in Chinese pencil production: a. Cheap labor availability China is a country with high population and the labour is cheap compared to the US labour which results lowering of the cost. b. Availability of raw materials The raw material could be cheaper in China compared to the sources which US is being supplied for the pencil production. c. Quality parameters Compared with US the quality parameters for a production can be lower in the Chinese companies which results in lower cost in production. For an example the factories that the Chinese pencils might not be sophisticated state of the art factories which reduce their over head costs than the US factories where high quality factory standards are being maintained. d. Low inflation rate e. Low interest rates, in China The setting up a business of this sort can be cheaper in China compared to US as the interest rates could be lower which will result low financial costs for the companies. Therefore their operating costs can be very much lower in China compared to US.
2. Lobbying the U.S government to impose antidumping duties is important because if a country sells its products overseas at prices below the cost of production, no one can compete with that. The pencil industry and all workers connected with that industry stand to benefit from antidumping laws. Consumers pay higher prices and stand to loose. The government can encourage firms to set up foreign subsidiaries to take advantage of some of the low costs. Also the Government can encourage the Chinese to set a fair price which is comparable to the price of pencils imported from other countries.
3. Dixon has become a multinational company to take advantage of lower costs and other efficiencies in China and Mexico.
4. Dixon already has a manufacturing operation in Mexico. One reason could be because it circumvents the whole anti dumping laws or tariffs that may be in place for Chinese imports into the U.S. Further, with NAFTA, Mexico and the U.S have very good economic relations. In China which still has a communist form of government, doing business still posed a lot of risks. Some of that pressure has been alleviated after China joined the WTO.
Dixon Ticonderoga is one of the oldest public companies in the United States. The company’s flagship product is the ubiquitous No. 2 yellow pencil, introduced in 1913, which is known to almost anyone who went to school or took standardized tests in the United States. With annual revenues of a little more than $100 million, Dixon is the second largest pencil manufacturer in the country. For most of its history, Dixon has been a prosperous company, but the 1990s proved to be a very difficult decade.It’s not that people are no longer buying pencils – in fact, demand for pencils in the United States has soared. Americans bought an estimated 4.2 billion pencils in 1999, a 53 percent jump from 1991. But an increasing proportion of these pencils have been from China. The problem began in the early 1990s when Chinese manufacturers entered the market with low-priced pencils. The pencil industry fought back, arguing that the Chinese were dumping pencils on the U.S. market at below cost and lobbying Washington for protection. In 1994, when foreign pencil importers accounted for 16 percent of the market, the United States enacted heavy antidumping duties on Chinese pencils,. Effectively raising their price. Imports fell dramatically, but the Chinese kept making better, cheaper pencils, and after a couple of years imports returned to the levels attained before the imposition of duties. Nor did it stop here. In 1999, U.S. manufacturers shipped some 2.2 billion pencils domestically, down from 2.4 billion I 1991. During that time, imports jumped from 16 percent to more than 50 percent of the market, with China leading the importers. The pencil industry continued to lobby for protection, and in mid 2000, the United States renewed duties on pencil imports form China, imposing import tariffs as high as 53 percent on some brands. In the meantime, Dixon was not standing still. To try to meet the foreign competition on price, Dixon experimented with cheaper ways to make pencils. The company tried to make pencils out of recycled paper cases, but quickly backed away after the product jammed pencil sharpeners. Then the company looked at the wood used to make pencils –traditionally California incense cedar – and decided it was too expensive for all but the company’s premium brand. Now the company uses lower priced Indonesian jelutong wood. As an additional cost reduction measure instituted in the late 1990s, Dixon started to buy the erasers for its pencils from a Korean supplier, rather than its traditional U.S. supplier. Despite these steps, the company continued to lose share to imports, and by 1999 it was beginning to lose money, too. Realizing that it could bring in finished pencils cheaper than it could manufacture them in the United States , Dixon established a manufacturing operation in Mexico. The original idea behind the Mexican operation was to supplement its U.S. manufacturing, but in late 2000 the company realized it needed to be more aggressive and switched many of its processes from the United States to Mexico, cutting some 40 jobs at its U.S. facility. In another strategic move, in 2000 Dixon created a wholly owned subsidiary in China. This subsidiary manufactures wooden slats for pencil manufacturing. The slats are then sent to Mexico, where they are turned into pencils. The lead for the pencils (carbon) is still made in the United States by Dixon, while the erasers are shipped from Korea. The Chinese subsidiary is also responsible for the production and distribution of certain products that are sold internationally. As a result of these moves, by 2002 Dixon’s performance was improving, but the company still needed to cut its cost structure. Accordingly, it decided to shut down its U.S. manufacturing operation at Sandusky, Ohio, in 2003 and move production to either Mexico or china.
Question : 1. Why do you think that the Chinese have an apparent cost advantage in the production of pencils? 2. Do you think that lobbying the U.S. Government to impose antidumping duties on imports of pencils from China is a good way to protect U.S. jobs? Who benefits most from such duties? Who loses? What alternative policy stance might the government take? 3. Why has Dixon become a multinational company? What are the economic benefits to Dixon of becoming an international business? 4. Now that Dixon has a production operation in China, why does it not simply import finished pencils from China to the United States, instead of making those pencils in Mexico?
Actually, companies set price based on the product will ensure the selling price was offset by production costs and the profit expectations. However, if only based on the product, companies may encounter many risks when prices of materials change or risks when customers can’t accept the cost, risk when companies don’t attain production expectations .
When set price based on customers, companies must identify the market segment target customers, consumer’s consumption as the payment of this customer group. However, the customer was governed by factors related to economic, competitors. Becides, defin the market segment and attribute of customer is a very difficult task for new products never appear on the market.

In this time, I am so sick and too tired of all this pain Stomachache went to after had got a temperature But it didn't make me give up one's strong will
You touched my trembling hand For the first time And I finally experienced A gentle feeling of warmth I opened the window that had been shut And a new wind blew in Laughing, crying, meeting you The world I saw began to shine Under the sun where the sunflowers swayed I felt the wind, I felt you Believing, being lost, And stopping short, and everything Maybe it’s all an answer To why I’m alive here and now Let my monochromatic days Take on colour Laughing, crying, meeting you The future ahead of us was shining Under the sun where the sunflowers sway I sing about tomorrow as I am How much can we love each other In this unstoppable time, these limited days? We can love each other, right? When you're here, I don't even turn away from the light Laughing, crying, meeting you The future ahead of us was shining Under the sun where the sunflowers sway I sing about tomorrow I want to say thank you, I can say it now I won't forget the seasons we’ve spent Like the sun the sunflowers sway under My song will shine on you For you, as I am...
