Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of a policy, the 2014 UK Supply Chain Plan, which aimed to create a local supply chain in a sector (offshore wind) where the central manufacturing node capabilities and knowledge are not possessed locally. It aims to address the following question: can policy create a new manufacturing supply chain from a void?

Design/methodology/approach

A qualitative field research approach is used to derive an original set of theoretical propositions explaining the motivation behind the Supply Chain Plan policy. The outcomes of this policy are examined 10 years later in order to provide an opportunity to observe the impact of the policy.

Findings

The conclusion is that the policy has been successful in increasing local content, and some of that local content has benefited local manufacturers. However, a lot of the increase in local content has been achieved in non-manufacturing areas or in new areas. The main issue, i.e. the lack of a central manufacturing capability, remains unaddressed. The impact of the local content policy on cost is undocumented.

Originality/value

There is an increasing amount of interest in regional/local supply chains after the COVID-19 pandemic and increasing geopolitical tensions. This paper's originality is to document with an industry case study the fact that manufacturing knowledge and capabilities are the central growth engine of supply chains and that creating a new manufacturing supply chain competing with well-established clusters is not a simple matter that can be achieved through a local content policy. Such policies raise critical questions about the policy makers' implicit valuation of manufacturing technology.

刺激制造业投资:政策能否从空白中创造供应链?
目的本文旨在评估一项政策(2014 年英国供应链计划)的有效性,该计划的目的是在当地不具备中心制造节点能力和知识的行业(海上风电)中创建本地供应链。本研究旨在解决以下问题:政策能否从空白中创造出新的制造供应链? 本研究采用定性实地研究方法,提出了一套原创性理论命题,解释了供应链计划政策背后的动机。研究结果结论是,该政策成功地增加了本地含量,其中一些本地含量使本地制造商受益。然而,大量本地含量的增加是在非制造业领域或新领域实现的。主要问题,即缺乏中央制造能力,仍未得到解决。原创性/价值在 COVID-19 大流行和日益紧张的地缘政治局势之后,人们对区域/本地供应链的兴趣与日俱增。本文的独创性在于通过行业案例研究证明,制造知识和能力是供应链的核心增长动力,而创建一个新的制造供应链与成熟的产业集群竞争,并不是通过本地含量政策就能实现的简单问题。此类政策提出了有关决策者对制造技术的隐性估值的关键问题。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Manufacturing Technology Management (JMTM) aspires to be the premier destination for impactful manufacturing-related research. JMTM provides comprehensive international coverage of topics pertaining to the management of manufacturing technology, focusing on bridging theoretical advancements with practical applications to enhance manufacturing practices. JMTM seeks articles grounded in empirical evidence, such as surveys, case studies, and action research, to ensure relevance and applicability. All submissions should include a thorough literature review to contextualize the study within the field and clearly demonstrate how the research contributes significantly and originally by comparing and contrasting its findings with existing knowledge. Articles should directly address management of manufacturing technology and offer insights with broad applicability.
