This four-part webinar series, presented by Gardner Business Media and the Reshoring Initiative, will deliver real data, proven strategies, tools and successful use cases that will enable procurement professionals to shorten and strengthen their supply chain by sourcing parts and services locally.
COVID-19 has revealed deadly shortages of medical products due to 90 to 95% dependence on imports, especially from China. Legislation has been introduced to reward or mandate reshoring. 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 for the country. In the second webinar in this series, Harry will, in detail, demonstrate that shorter supply chains are also more profitable for OEMs for 20 to 40% of products. Tools to identify the 20 to 40% will be provided. Results of numerous studies showing that the tools work. Examples of OEMs that reshored and why.
