摘要: This paper explored the role of concurrent engineering (CE) and design for manufacturability assembly (DFM/DFA) within context headquarters–maquiladora relationships. The objective this was to determine which operational model prevalent describe relationships between a headquarters their maquiladoras. maquiladora industry is manufacturing that utilises Mexican workforce foreign investment technology on border region USA Mexico. conducted an empirical investigation by distributing survey instrument among plants in El Paso, Texas Juarez, reliability validity tests, item correlation matrix, descriptive statistics, factor analysis, structural equation modelling data were conducted. Appropriate conclusions assessment based results 11 field interviews with managers provided. analyses indicated in...
