Supply Chain Outsourcing
October 21, 2010
The supply chain has become a complex field to navigate with challenges and obstacles around every corner. A successful supply chain needs to be responsive to both plummeting sales in an economic downturn and spikes in demand when the economy rebounds. Managing this complexity in-house can prove difficult as changes in footprint and infrastructure can be costly and take time to implement. Outsourcing supply chain activities can become an attractive alternative once you realize the significant cost efficiencies and flexibility it can deliver.
