Which one of the following is an advantage of having production facilities to manufacture athletic footwear in all four geographic regions? Reduced exposure to adverse exchange rate cost adjustments--when a company has production facilities in all four geographic regions it tends to have smaller cross-region shipments of pairs that are subject to unfavorable shifts in exchange rates Increased ability to achieve a higher S/Q rating on branded pairs at a lower cost than rivals having production operations in 1, 2, or 3 geographic regions Maximum ability to achieve lower production costs per pair than rivals having production facilities in 1, 2, or 3 geographic regions Increased ability to produce 500 models/styles at each production facility at a lower production cost per branded pair than other rivals also producing 500 models/styles but having production operations in only 1, 2, or 3 regions o Increased ability to reduce companywide expenditures for both TQM/Six Sigma programs and best practices training of production workers because the benefits gained from such expenditures at one production facility are automatically transferred to other production facilities at zero cost
