Full In-Country manufacture involves the production of the entire product in the emerging economy. The supply chain starts with the activities associated with growing, extracting and rearing to provide a raw material that can then be processed into a modified state suitable for manufacturing. The transformation of materials into products can involve craft or more conventional production techniques.
Partial In-Country manufacture involves the integration of activities from the Full In-Country process with the import of specialist components/materials that cannot be produced by the emerging economy. These may, be electronic components or injection mouldings that form part of the product. Efficient, low cost global manufacturing has the capacity to add value to the in-country manufacturing capability.
Overseas manufacturing employs a supply chain that is based on the export of materials from the emerging economy. Whilst this would require the growing, extracting and rearing of raw materials, the state in which they were exported would depend on the requirements of the manufacturer. For example, leather might be exported as raw hides or in a finished state.
