Dell to Sell Most or All of Its Factories in 18 Months

consort to the Wall Street Journal , Dell is restructuring their production in a monolithic overhaul that will send the entire manufacturing process overseas . According to one insider ’s account , most or all of Dell ’s factories , which are base in the US , will be sold off in 18 months . Dell has long used their own factories to assemble computers after a consumer places an order — a technique Dell pioneered to cut inventory costs and boost profits . presently , the company relies on Asian computer parts assembled in Dell US factories — the “ two touch ” mental process . The planned transition , which has already been made for some laptops , will move all output to foreign contract manufacturing business — something we already see from company like HP and Apple . So the only question that remains is whether or not there will be interested purchaser in Dell ’s $ 2.6 billion in output plants . Because if Dell is punt out of the biz , it ’s got ta be a hard sell to anyone . [ WSJ ]
