    The document compares the pros and cons of the Limerick Plant that produces insulin. The pros are that the plant has good engineering capabilities, a sterilization facility, is the only plant producing insulin syringes in Europe, and has high insulin syringe output and low import duties from the US. However, the cons are that the plant has high wages, low overall output, management disconnects, a sterilizer operating at only 60% capacity, poor molding efficiency, high line stop rates, insulin production costs 30% higher than the US, and higher costs for 3-piece syringes compared to Terumo with only 70% utilization rate. On balance, the cons outweigh the pros with a total
