Abstract

In today's interconnected world, global supply chains play a critical role in the production and distribution of goods and services. The globalization of supply chains has been driven by the pursuit of cost efficiencies, access to new markets, and the ability to leverage specialized capabilities from different regions. This paper presents a comparative analysis of the global supply chain strategies of Tesla and Chery, focusingon the critical factors that contribute to their success or potential failure. The method used in this study is qualitative, numerous of articles published in this topic were selected from 2014 to 2023. The investigation on key aspects such as supply chain design, sourcing strategy, production strategy, inventory management, and delivery methods to highlight the distinct approaches adopted by each company. Tesla’s supply chain is characterized by vertical integration, which grants extensive control over the production process and fosters innovation. In contrast, Chery employs a more traditional and flexible supply chain strategy, relying on partnerships and outsourcing. The analysis evaluates efficiency and scalability, cost management, quality control, risk management, and customer satisfaction as primary criteria. The results indicate that Tesla’s strategies demonstrate a commitment to control and efficiency, while Chery emphasizes flexibility and cost management. By comparing these two automakers, this paper offers insights into how different supply chain strategies can impact overall success in the competitive global automotive industry.

Abstract

In recent decades, drone technology has undergone rapid advancements, making it a vital tool in various surveillance operations. Initially limited to the battlefield, the use of drones has now expanded to various civilian applications, including border monitoring, law enforcement, and environmental surveillance. This shift is driven by enhancements in drone capabilities, including extended range, endurance, and sensor technology. This study employs a qualitative approach using case studies to analyze the evolution of drone usage in surveillance operations. Data were collected through literature reviews, interviews with industry experts, and analysis of reports from security and defense agencies. The study also compares the effectiveness of drone-based surveillance operations with traditional methods through statistical analysis and field operational evaluations. The findings indicate that drone usage significantly enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of surveillance operations. Drones enable wider area coverage at lower costs and reduced risks compared to conventional methods. Additionally, drones equipped with advanced sensors facilitate more accurate and real-time data collection, which is crucial in critical security situations. The study also identifies major challenges in drone usage, including regulatory issues, privacy concerns, and the integration of technology with existing systems. The evolving use of drones in surveillance operations shows great potential in enhancing security and efficiency across various sectors. However, a balanced approach between technological innovation and regulatory frameworks is necessary to address existing challenges and maximize the benefits of this technology.
