INTRO• ¾ of world’s industrial production is located in four
regions:1. NW Europe2. Eastern Europe3. Eastern North America4. East Asia
- Each is broken down further
• Less than 1% of Earth’s land is devoted to industry
• When compared to agriculture, industry is much more clustered in space
• 2 key factors in determining best location for a factory:
1. Where the markets for the product are located2. Where the resources needed to make the
product are located

ISSUE #2
Why Do Industries Have Different Distributions?
![Page 13: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Industry seeks to maximize profits by limiting production costs. Companies usually face two
types of geographical costs:
Situation Factors(involve transporting materials
to and from a factory)
Site Factors(result from the unique
characteristics of a location)
![Page 14: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
SITUATION FACTORS
IN +
1. PROXIMITY TO INPUTS 2. PROXIMITY TO MARKETS
3. TRANSPORT CHOICES
![Page 15: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
PROXIMITY TO INPUTS
STEEL
If the weight of an input is great, a factory may choose to locate near the input in order to cut down on transportation costs
![Page 16: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
COPPER CARTOON
• Draw a picture/visual representation depicting the various aspects of copper as a bulk-reducing industry. Your picture must contain a picture of a copper mine and the following:
a. Concentration millsb. Smeltersc. Refineries
- Include a brief caption explaining the location of each as it relates to the copper mine
![Page 17: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
MAKE ARIZONA YOUR COPPER HEADQUARTERS!!!!
• The map on page 373 states that “In the United States, most plants that concentrate, smelt, and refine copper are in or near Arizona, where most copper mines are located.”
• Arizona has been hit very hard by recent economic woes, especially in regards to real estate. You have the opportunity to turn the tide by bringing commercial real estate to Arizona by attracting members of the copper industry to your state.
• Your job is to create a commercial highlighting why Arizona is such a great state for a company to establish their copper headquarters. You can be as creative as you want as long as you meet the guidelines.
![Page 18: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
GUIDELINES
• Your commercial must:1. Summarize each of the following processes:
a. mining, concentrating, smelting, refining
2. Explain why being located in Arizona helps with each process. (this is the meat of the commercial - sell, sell, sell!)
3. Have an image (and text, music, slogan… accompanying it) for each of the above listed. Your creativity can really come here, use music, vids, pictures, jingles, slogans……
Due Date: Monday, March 21 - email to Mr. Oswald prior to the start of class
![Page 19: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
PROXIMITY TO INPUTS - STEEL
• Bulk-reducing industry
• Originally Iron and Steel mills clustered near the sources of these raw materials (iron ore and coal - see map on 374)
• Watts steam engine (1769) – increases iron production
![Page 20: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Integrated Steel Mills
Fig. 11-9: Integrated steel mills in the U.S. are clustered near the southern Great Lakes, which helped minimize transport costs of heavy raw materials.
![Page 21: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
U.S. STEEL INDUSTRY• MID – 1800s – clustered in Pittsburgh
and SW PA (why? what was there? – iron ore and coal)
• Gradually moves west (where and why? – Minnesota, Indiana, Illinois – discovery or iron ore but also changes in the steelmaking process which required more iron ore in proportion to coal)
• In first half of the 20th century most steel mills were built along the coasts (why did this change occur? – changes in transportation costs as more iron ore was imported and greater use of scrap iron, which was available near major cities on the coasts)
![Page 22: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
U.S STEEL cont.
• Many steel mills have recently closed
• Survivors benefit from access to markets more than access to inputs– Goes against historical
trend (why?)
![Page 23: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Nucor Steel Minimills
Fig. 11-10: Minimills produce steel from scrap metal, and they are distributed around the country near local markets. Nucor is the largest minimill operator.
![Page 24: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
PROXIMITY TO MARKETS
• For many, best location is closest to where the product is sold (ex. soda)
- transportation costs are especially critical for these industries: 1. Bulk-gaining 2. Single Market 3. Perishable
![Page 25: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
PROXIMITY TO MARKETS cont.
BULK-GAINING INDUSTRY• Good examples are soft
drinks
• Why is scotch whiskey an exception?
FABRICATED METALS & MACHINERY
• Combines steel and other metals into more complex products (tv, refrigerators, air conditioners, motor vehicles)
• Assembly plants clustered in “auto alley” (why?)
• Recent change in location of assembly plants from coasts to interior due to changing market– See insets on page 376
![Page 26: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Location of Beer Breweries
Fig. 11-11: Beer brewing is a bulk-gaining industry that needs to be located near consumers. Breweries of the two largest brewers are located near major population centers.
![Page 27: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

![Page 28: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Chevrolet Assembly Plants,
2007
Fig. 11-12b: In 2007, GM was producing a wider variety of vehicles, and production of various models was spread through the interior of the country.
![Page 29: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
PROXIMITY TO MARKETS cont.
SINGLE MARKET MANUFACTURERS• “ just in time products”
• Location to assembly plants, not markets, is most important
• Think of parts makers for cars
PERISHABLE PRODUCTS• Must be located near markets
(think milk and Von Thunen)
• Not the case for frozen foods (cheese, butter)
• Not all perishables are food (newspaper – why?)
![Page 30: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Motor Vehicle Parts Plants
Fig. 11-13: U.S.-owned parts plants are clustered near the main final assembly plants. Foreign-owned plants tend to be located further south, where labor unions are weaker.
![Page 31: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
SHIP, RAIL, TRUCK OR AIR?You are responsible for this section (up to Site Factors) on your own
![Page 32: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
PICTURES
• Draw a picture that depicts an example of each of the following and include a brief caption explaining the picture:
1. Proximity to Input (does not have to be steel, just needs to be bulk-reducing)
2. Proximity to Market (needs to be gulk-gaining, single-market, and/or perishable)
3. Transport Choice (boat, train, automobile, plane))
![Page 33: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
SITE FACTORSLAND
CAPITAL
![Page 34: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
LABOR
• 150 million manufacturing workers (China-20%, U.S. – 10%)
• Labor intensive vs. capital intensive (what is the difference?)
• Wages (> $20/hr. in MDCs, <$5/hr in LDCs)
• On a global scale ,labor is the most important site factor
a lot of hard work does not always mean high pay
![Page 35: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
LABOR cont.
TEXTILE & APPAREL SPINNING• Labor intensive; low wage
(highly clustered in LDCs – see p.381)
• Spinsters and cottage industry before the Industrial Revolution
• Becomes clustered industry during the 1700s (spinning frames and mills, located near flowing water)
TEXTILE & APPAREL WEAVING• Even more labor intensive than
• REALLY clustered in LDCs (they grow cotton and have low wages)
• Chemical industry changes textiles but also foods – colors for clothing and
preservation/canning for food
![Page 36: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

LABOR cont.
TEXTILE & APPAREL ASSEMBLY• Textiles are assembled into 4
main products– Garments, carpets, home
products, industrial uses
• Most clothing articles are produced in Asia
![Page 40: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Trouser Production
Fig. 11-16a: Sewing cotton fabric into men’s and boys’ trousers is more likely to be located in developed countries, but much production now occurs in LDCs.
![Page 41: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Distribution of Trouser Production
Fig. 11-16b: The majority of trouser production is in MDCs, near customers.
![Page 42: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
LAND
• Not nearly as critical a factor as labor when considering only land (why not?)
• It is only a critical factor when it takes into account resources (natural and human)
![Page 43: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
LAND cont.
• Prior to IR many economic activities were located near rivers and forests (why?)
• During the IR they moved close to coalfields (clustered industry)
• During the 20th century electricity has become more important to industry (want to be near cheaper electricity)
![Page 44: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
CAPITAL
• Industries often borrow funds to build/expand(ex. motor vehicle industry in
Michigan)
• Availability of capital was key factor in the evolution of Silicon Valley
• Ability to borrow has become increasingly important in LDCs
![Page 45: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

INTRAREGIONAL SHIFT• site and situation factors
historically led to location of factories in cities (why?)– Proximity to market– Easier shipping on RRs– Labor supply– Source of capital
• Modern factories - suburban or rural (why?)– Availability of space/land– Cheaper land– Access to highways more important
than RRs
![Page 67: CHAPTER 11 INDUSTRY. INTRO ¾ of worlds industrial production is located in four regions: 1.NW Europe 2.Eastern Europe 3.Eastern North America 4.East Asia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/551664ec550346b2068b6026/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
INTERREGIONAL SHIFT
• U.S. – manufacturing has shifted south and west
• Western Europe – shift towards “economically distressed peripheral areas” (southern and eastern Europe)

INTERREGIONAL cont.
SOUTHERN & WESTERN U.S.• NE – has lost 1 million
manufacturing jobs in past 30 years
• Those jobs have grown by 1/6 in the S and W in same time (why?)– Right to work laws– Lower wages– Improved infrastructure (roads)– Climate– Resources (water, oil, natural gas…)– Shipping lanes
WESTERN EUROPE• Shift specifically towards
southern and eastern Europe
• Difference with U.S. - European policies that have explicitly encouraged this relocation
• Spain – most rapid growth (motor vehicles)

LATIN AMERICA• Mexico and Brazil are region’s leading
manufacturers– Clustered in Mexico City & Sao Paulo
• Bad policies and oil shortages (‘60s and ‘70s) hurt Mexico
• ‘80s – growth mainly in the north (maquiladora plants)
• ‘80s – ’90s – new policies increased growth (lower tariffs, NAFTA…)
• Mexico’s location to U.S. market is a big advantage

ATTRACTION OF NEW INDUSTRIAL REGIONS:PROXIMITY TO LOW-COST LABOR
• Labor is the site factor that is changing very dramatically in recent years
• Shift to low wage locations takes place within nations and between them (esp. in textile/apparel industry)
• Ex. In U.S. – textile industry locates in New York during the early 20th century (why?) then moves to southeast in the mid-20th century(why?)
• Many have moved manufacturing overseas due to even cheaper labor– Decrease in apparel workers in U.S. and WE– Apparel imports in U.S. have increased (from
Latin America, China, other Asian nations)

RENEWED INTEREST IN TRADITIONAL REGIONS: PROXIMITY TO SKILLED LABOR
• Switch from Fordist to post-Fordist has increased need for more skilled labor– Skilled labor is usually located in
traditional industrial regions– 3 types of post-Fordist work rules
(teams, problem solving, leveling)
• Computer industry is good example of industry in traditional region
• Some textile/apparel still exists in traditional regions too – “High end” requires more skill
– Efforts to attract jobs to traditional states in U.S. (startup NY commercial)

JUST-IN-TIME DELIVERY• This is especially important for
delivery of inputs – Ex. Parts for cars, computers
• Just-in-time delivery reduces money spent on wasteful inventory and size of factory– U.S. % of economy spent on
inventory has decreased by 50% in last 25 years
– Dell and Gateway have eliminated inventory (how? why?)
• Sometimes forces suppliers to hold inventory, not the shop (ex. Wal-Mart)
• Makes manufactures more susceptible to disruptions when they rely heavily on JITD– Labor unrest– “acts of God” (weather,
acts of terror)
