I think that everyone is well aware of the one of a kind designer Louis Vuitton. The fashion accessories that this designer puts out are amazing pieces that are sported by celebrities and highly wealthy individuals or at least that is how the company use to be perceived. Now this luxury designer has all accessories made in highly automated factories that literally pops out hundreds of the same bag. This company has lost that hand made feel to simply satisfy the needs of the public. One company that has stuck with the hand crafted model is Hermes. This company is known for designing luxurious scarves and handbags. This company takes the time to individually make each scarf and bag for the customer that is going to purchase it. One bag takes around 13 hours to make. That right there shows commitment to a customer because this company clearly cares about the quality that they put out. Hermes refuses to use highly automated factories to produce their products because they do not want to lose the status of their company name.
Do you think that Hermes is making a smart business decision in not using an automated system? Do you think that them not using the automated system could potentially make them lose money?
