Closure, Near Shoring, Relocation & Consolidation of Export Oriented China Operations & Supply Chain

About The Webinar

East West Associates Manufacturing and Supply Chain Roundtable with Senior Executives

Many C-level executives are streamlining their China-based manufacturing operations or moving operations out of China.

Why? Because assessments of the viability of exporting out of China have exposed a number of negative factors:

    • Long lead-time to US & European customers
    • Increasing production costs
    • Challenging regulatory environment in China
    • Continuing issues with Covid infections within China
    • Tariffs & geopolitical tensions between China and the US

Closing, consolidating, or relocating China operations stresses a company’s ability to serve its customers, and its global strategy, supplier relationships, and brand reputation in China and around the world.

But if carried out with expert insight, thorough planning, and a strong project team, taking the proper actions will have a positive, long-term impact on global operations and financial results.

This webinar featured seasoned speakers with real-life experience in China plant closures, improvements, consolidations, relocations and sourcing within China and in other countries.

Webinar: Leveraging Mexico With a Global Supply Chain Strategy

About The Webinar

How can companies best leverage Mexico in their global supply chain strategy?

Companies are looking to improve their Global Supply Chain and Manufacturing Strategies, which includes potentially diversifying their supply chain and manufacturing into Mexico if their market is US/North America.

Even if companies keep their Chinese supply base, manufacturers can still take advantage of the USMCA trade agreement.

The strategies can include:

    • Sourcing components / finished goods with local content from Mexico, for consumption in the U.S.
    • Sourcing components / finished goods with local content from Mexico and imported content from China, for consumption in the U.S.
    • Setting up subcontracting or manufacturing in Mexico, utilizing local content from Mexico and imported components from China and elsewhere.
