Nokia TMC Nokia TMC offers speed, flexibility, quality's competitiveness It is said that one-third of all mobile phones used by the global village population is supplied by Finland's Nokia's production facility. Nokia TMC., located in Masan, Korea, is noteworthy, in that the company is supplying around 20% of total production among Nokia's nine global manufacturing facilities, maintaining over US$3 mil. in terms of turnover scale per employee. "With speed, flexibility and quality, Nokia is maintaining our phase as the best facility globally", CEO Kim Kee-soon emphasized in a special interview on the occasion of Finland's rotating EU Presidency, adding that Nokia's competitiveness originates in SCM (supply chain management) to graft IT and the most Koreanized management program capitalizing on teamwork spirit. Mega operators account for the greater part of Nokia tmc's customers, according to Kim. So to speak, through value-added these mega operators create mobile phone's price Nokia tmc manufactures. Accordingly, Nokia's worldwide competitiveness is to provide products by regions within the fastest time by reflecting these mega operator customer needs from the production stage. Kim who notes that is creating Nokia's competitiveness through production facility's dualization process, explains regarding the company's differentiated competitiveness: "Nokia has the same production lines all over the world, but manufacturing processes are differentiated. All facilities are equipped with engine lines, but what comes next is to make half-finished products to meet the needs of customers". Accordingly, Nokia delivers goods in components, and Europe receives them and manufactures products they want locally, Kim said. In some cases, Nokia TMC receives half-finished products from European production facilities, and finishes and supplies them. Such Nokia's production method stems from the company's cost reduction as well as speed management minds to lower production price by expediting delivery of products to customers as much as possible and by removing the stockpile while on the other side, including the entire stage from planning through supply in the concept of production. What is important is that the most Koreanized teamwork spirit for global enterprise Nokia TMC pays off the most productivity-high business performance in the world. In conjunction with this, the CEO elaborated, "As Nokia TMC's rotation system helps the employees foster work skills and work in a team, where everyone is responsible for not only his/her own work but also the work of the team he/she belongs to, it results in higher synergies." In addition, it is common knowledge among associated business circles that Nokia TMC puts the most experienced and skilled members of the team as small CEOs in charge of each lines, and manually allows them to inspect the results of the works performed by the automated machines in the line one more time, thereby ensuring the perfection of products. By such efforts, it is said that Nokia actually posts the lowest error rates among the nine global production facilities and particularly, the company's engineering ability to feedback the point at issue to Center again is excellent by finding them most fast in the production process of products developed in PCC (Product Creation Center) scattered in nine areas globally.
