In the market of home appliances that it is necessary to capture a share of global market. By shifting their production process to localized design, Japanese companies can develop more products in the same amount of time. It means that production process is changed from the traditional one in which the mother factory in japan sends the designs to the overseas factories where they are produced. The new model allows the overseas factories to design and produce and include any localization needed for that market. This paper proposes a case study when we used the new model to design and produce and product overseas. We were successful in developing the new products while reducing material cost. I propose a study to analyze that process.
