Using the techniques of cheap labor, BYD had already created a system that would give them an advantage over the companies around them. The cheap labor directly impacted the prices of the products creating an instant advantage due to the quality of the product. They are also producing batteries that contain a nontoxic fluid
causing less harm to the environment when the battery is thrown away. In addition, theirbatteries can hold a longer charge. These aspects can help to boost the desirability of a product in such a large market (Rarick, Firlej, and Angriawan, 2011). BYD primarily operates using manufacturing operations and their main focus is production; first of batteries and more recently of electric cars. Though manufacturing operations and service operations go hand in hand, BYD spends a majority of its focus on manufacturing. Their focus is to create a product that is cost-effective and desired byconsumers. This is evident in the 2008 revenue from cellphones and components at $1.7 billion and in their revenue from car sales at $1.3 billion. As with any company, service operations are included, but for BYD the focus is mostly on sales, customer service, warranties, and other services that may come about from used products (Rarick, Firlej, and Angriawan, 2011). The support provided here will only enhance the customer experience.
