Recently Lexus carmakers in an interview stated that it is important to identify the fact that Lexus is a Japanese made vehicle but began in the United States. Similar situations have and continue to happen in regards to vehicle production.
Pros to Outsourcing
- Decreased Costs – It becomes cheaper for the automaker to make overseas and shipping rates have dropped and continue to drop.
- Automobiles become cheaper for the consumer when outsourced and therefore, more easily affordable.
- Automakers can selectively higher the right team for the job that is already qualified and prepared to mass-produce.
Cons to Outsourcing
- The responsibility of reputation is at stake, and if different parts of cars are made and assembled in different countries it could lead to defeats or problems associated with specific parts or vehicles. This could increase costs as a result.
- Job loss within the United States.
This has been an ongoing debate with consumers and owners in the automobile trade. No matter what you believe, it is important to use social media as a tool and let automakers what you agree with and do not agree with, like or dislike about specific makes, models, and details. This is feedback that is essential to influencing the future design and production of cars.
