Sammendrag
The purpose of this paper is to identify prerequisites for successful production transfers i.e. for achieving a
stable production at the receiver at targeted supply-performance levels. The research findings consist of a
collection of 43 prerequisites identified in the extant literature and structured according to the main transfer
phases. Moreover, the authors present the challenges encountered during two transfers of electronics
production, and discuss how those challenges could have been avoided or easily dealt with if some of the
identified prerequisites had been in place. The paper provides a detailed overview over recommended
activities when transferring production. In addition, risk-mitigation measures are highlighted along the
transfer process, and there are suggested methods and tools for supply-chain risk management.
Practitioners can use the collection of prerequisites as a checklist when preparing the transfer plan. These
results represent a first step towards configuring a project development model for systematic production
transfer management.
