    The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (Scotts), based in Marysville, Ohio, was formed by a 1995 merger of Miracle-Gro and the Scotts Company (Pearce & Robinson, 2011, p. 26-1). The merger made Scotts the largest company in the North American lawn and garden industry as well as the world’s leading supplier and marketer of consumer products for do-it-yourself lawn and garden care (Pearce & Robinson, 2011, p. 26-1).

    This case follows the outsourcing decisions of the Scotts Miracle-Gro company in June 2007. The company’s main production facility, located in Temecula, CA, produces all of the company’s domestic lawn seed and fertilizer spreaders. This facility was acquired after Scotts merged three fertilizer spreader production factories from the acquisition of Republic Tool & Manufacturing Company in 1992. A fifteen year lease was signed in 2001 on the current Temecula facility. Although this lease is noted as a 15-year contract, the Scotts company believes that they could terminate it early. This is important because they believe that the $3 million annual fee for the facility and other factory costs are…

    After careful consideration and a much closer look and analysis of the three possible decisions, it is my recommendation that Scotts Miracle-Gro keep production at Temecula California. However, it is imperative that Scotts Miracle-Gro reduce production costs by reducing mainly energy costs and labor costs in order to remain competitive while in the United States and avoid outsourcing to China. However, before we divulge in how we would go about reducing these costs, let’s take a closer look on the other two options and the risks and benefits associated with them.…
