| Tiivistelmä: | Many high-tech industries are shifting their focus from minimizing time-to-market to minimizing time-to-volume. This puts the tail end of product development, the production ramp-up, in a critical position. This article presents a case study of product transfer and production ramp-up in the hard disk drive industry. The authors provide a detailed description of the ramp-up period. By documenting detailed time-series of several operational measures, the authors also shed light on the various forces that allow an organization to increase its production volume. Finally, the setting allows us to study product transfer from development in the USA to an Asian production facility. The authors find that the physical distance is successfully overcome by several mechanisms. |
