Description

STRYKER CORP: IN-SOURCING PCBS

INTRODUCTION: Basically, Stryker Corporation is a company that offering a lot of medical equipment worldwide and it is also well known to be one of the top medical technology companies globally. The medical equipment that providing by this company includes surgical, medical, spine and Neurotechnology products and reconstructive equipment. The main services and products provided by the company are accessible all over the world. The main instrument that is used for the manufacturing of medical products is PCB (Printed Circuit Boards). A printed circuit board (PCB) is mechanically supports and electrically connects electronic components using conductive tracks, pads and other features etched from copper sheets laminated onto a nonconductive substrate. In 2002, the company show a good revenue and operating profit where estimate about $3 billion and $507 million. The divisions that a part of the company include surgical and medical equipment, orthopaedic implants, International sales and Rehabilitative Medical Services. There are three main business of the company include Stryker Medical, Stryker Endoscopy and Stryker Instruments. In Stryker Medical unit, it is preparing for hospital beds and other patient medical handling equipment. Moreover, this business unit is also engaged in providing emergency medical service products. While in Stryker Endoscopy unit produces communications and video imaging equipment along with general and arthroscopic surgery instruments. Plus, in Stryker Instruments unit come out with operating room equipment, interventional pain control products and surgical instruments. THE PROBLEM: Recently, the company is facing with a lot of issues regarding the suppliers and make the company has to bring some change in their sourcing strategy. From the current perspective, the company is doing out-sourcing on a contractual basis from the manufacturers and has estimated current spending of $10 million in the previous two years. The management of the company is not so satisfied with the contract of manufacturers for some reasons. At first, the company is actually facing problems about the quality of products. Secondly, the company also facing the problem with the current supplier in term of the delivery timings and responsibility for the company’s products. Consequently, the company is continuously need to find new suppliers one after another for the manufacturing of their products. Another big problem found in contract manufacturers is due to the operation where based on small margins along with limited capital.

THE THREE OPTIONS: Due to the problems, there are three options available for the company to make its supply chain strong from the suppliers’ side. The first option that is available to the company is to keep the current basic sourcing policy by making only a slight changes in it. The next alternative available to Stryker Corporation is to enhance consistency by developing strong relationship with a single supplier, and that supplier will sell their products to Stryker Corporation only. In addition, the last option will be manufacturing of company facility that is in-sourcing PCBs near headquarter of the company. As the company has to decide whether they should in-source or outsource the manufacturing facility; therefore, they can make their decisions based on the objectives set by the company. The company’s main objective is to reduce the purchase of Printed Circuit Boards and to maximize profit. Furthermore, another objective of the company is to reduce the risk with respect to suppliers of PCBs. Next objective of the company is to gain control and empowerment over the supply chain, delivery and quality of products. Another most important objective of the company is to improve the cash in terms of liquidity. THE SOLUTION: For this case study of Stryker Corporation, it can be seen that option three (to manufacture its own PCs in its own facility near company headquarters) can be consider as the best alternative to adopt because of several reasons. At first, if the company adopting in-sourcing option, it able to exercise full control in their supply chain where it can help to increase the degree of quality along with the delivery of products in turn. Another reason is related to the transportation and able to reduce the cost of logistic as the facility will be located near to the company’s headquarter. Plus, the manufacturing cost along with in-housing manufacturing of PCBs will be tax deductible where enable the company to make its tax obligation lower during the early years of manufacturing. Moreover, the depreciation applied on capital and IT equipment with respect to the initial investment will also be tax deductible. Besides that, if the company goes for option number three, then it will be able to achieve efficiency in terms of production that will increase the profitability of Stryker Corporation in turn. In short, the benefits that the company will get from this option is better control in quality, delivery and cost. In addition, it will help to maintain the business stability, supply PCBs to other Stryker business and able to implement cost shift and avoid tax. Instead of that, there is a few risks when the company implements the option three where need to carry the inventory, incur a large capital outlay and sunk cost. Plus, the company has to increase the headcount, payroll and other

expenditures in term of materials, infrastructure, R & D, maintenance and so on. Another one, the company also has to take risk if the equipment that being used may be outdated. COMPARISON WITH OTHER OPTION:

REASON WORTH IT TO MANUFACTURE ITS OWN PCBs OR NOT

INCOME STATEMENT (YEAR 2005 – 2007):

As mention, all PCBs would be produced in house start from year of 2006. So, we analyse the income statement from 2005 to 2006 to see how the sales growth for that moment and predict for the year 2007 as the company spends more than $10 million. (Refer to Stryker Corporation Annual Report 2005 & 2006 taken from http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=118965&p=irol-reports).

From above, we derived an apparently positive NPV of the project for the year (2007 – 2012) when using the discount rate of 10%, 15% and 20%. Plus, there is a much bigger IRR compared to hurdle rate (15%) where it means that the project is profitable. So, in conclusion there is a worth it to invest for this project.
