1)Discuss Mattel's rolling mix strategy from three perspectives: manufacturing, overall supply chain, and marketing/retailer.
2)Critique Mattel's outsourcing strategy. Should die-cast cars be a core product?
3)Discuss the impact of exchange rates on labor cost. What is the true labor cost assuming labor productivity (hours per 1000 cars) is:
China - 60 hours/1000 cars
Indonesia - 90 hours/1000 cars
Thailand - 50 hours/1000 cars
Malaysia - 30 hours/1000 cars
4. Given that productivity in Mexico is roughly equivalent to Thailand (50 hours/1000 cars), why not consider Mexico as a possible location to build a new die-cast care plant?
5. What should Mattel do to satisfy capacity needs?
