Join Gardner Business Media and the Reshoring Initiative for the first webinar in a four-part series, which will deliver real data, proven strategies and successful use cases that will empower procurement professionals to shorten and strengthen their supply chain by sourcing parts and services locally. The first one, scheduled for Wed., April 29, 2020, from 2 to 3 p.m. EDT, is about the supply chain deficit that the COVID-19 crisis has revealed. Click here to register.
COVID-19 has revealed deadly shortages of medical products due to 90 to 95% dependence on imports, especially from China. Government and companies are scrambling to implement short-term emergency assembly and create domestic sources for critical imported components. Similar dependence is true in many key industry sectors including defense materiel. It is now clear: shorter supply chains are stronger, more competitive supply chains. In the first webinar in this series, Harry Moser will demonstrate that shorter supply chains are also more profitable for OEM and supplier for 20 to 40% of products. Tools to identify the 20 to 40% will be provided.
A portion of the registration cost will go toward supporting the Reshoring Initiative.
Primary Topics:
- Reshoring is profitable for 20-40% of what you and your customers now import
- How to identify the products most eligible to reshore
- How to quantify the costs and risks of offshoring
- How to convince companies to reshore and buy from you
