[...] The impacts of made in France on different performances. Impacts on financial and commercial performance The financial performance is influenced by the doctrine of made in France, which weakens the company and weighs on its performance For example, Absi's and its raw materials, the purchase of French wood varies between ?1000 per m3 and 30,000? per m3, while discount resellers approach ?200 per m3, originating from China. Due to the significant cost of return, it is difficult to achieve a margin, which can have significant repercussions on the financial performance of absi's. [...]
[...] On the other hand, unlike low-cost retailers where working conditions or even human rights are not always respected, Absi's has an advantage. Conclusion: To be sustainable, a company that only produces in France must obtain a difficult-to-obtain certification. Which relates to painful obligations to respect and a cost not to be neglected, Thus, Absi's must ensure the control of its financial charges in order to find the right balance. However, being recognized as originating from France transmits a superior quality compared to the competition, which is characterized by a competitive advantage. [...]
[...] A highly controlled product represents an advantage, as it is monitored and subject to quality and safety tests before being able to enter the market. Abi's must provide the cost of goods sold of its billiards to the organization 'Association pro France' , as well as the necessary data for product traceability, such as the location of assembly or the origin of the MP, in order to obtain certification. This approach must be renewed every year, of course it is voluntary, and it proves to be tedious. [...]
[...] In this way, Absi's will be in total capacity to maximize its profits and ensure its sustainability thanks to its French manufacturing. It is therefore possible to face the competition by producing French at the cost of having a competitive advantage and obtaining certifications. In fact, a multitude of companies are functioning well (e.g. piganiol, etc . ) and dynamizing the economy by creating real écosystèmes. [...]
[...] So is it viable to produce only French in the face of competition? Firstly, we will address the different conditions for being certified French, then we will study what the impacts are on the performance of the company. The conditions of French production The modalities of certification First of all, we need to take into account the raw materials, these must come from France only. And so that the billiard, after having been assembled in France, has the Certification Garantie Origine France, the company must voluntarily submit a large number of information. [...]
