    American furniture manufacturers have struggled with making cost-competitive products over the past decade. Several have closed U.S. facilities and built plants overseas or hired companies to make the goods in foreign countries and ship them here. Many factors have influenced the decision to move production over seas including, labor costs, price of materials, freight costs, time in transit, overall time to make a product and get it to market, and the amount of training needed for employees. “A decade ago, nearly 100 percent of the dinette sets, cabinets, dressers, armoires and other wooden pieces sold in the United States were produced here. Today, 75 percent to 80 percent is made in China, Taiwan, Vietnam and other Asian countries.” (Chavez) In addition to production, many companies are also outsourcing their human resource functions.

    A.) Pine Valley Furniture developed its applications in-house. There are several plausible reasons for why the company chose this option. The company may have had unique processing needs that required the system to be built in-house, as opposed to purchasing a prepackaged system. The company may also have viewed its information systems as helping it achieve a competitive advantage. The company had several options, such as purchasing a system off-the-shelf, implementing an enterprise-wide system, hiring a company to develop and run the software on its own computers, or hiring a consulting company to develop the system.…
