Achieving World Class Logistics Through Cross-Border Capabilities

August 14, 2018

For more than a generation, China was the destination of choice for offshore supply chains. The
reasons made sense. An abundant and low-cost labor pool, cheap oil, and production costs generally
less expensive than those found in the U.S., encouraged many manufacturers to relocate industrial
operations overseas. Additionally, trade routes to and from Asia were many and reliable, albeit no
faster than the speed of a freighter or container ship crossing the Pacific Ocean. Yet, rising wages and
real estate costs in China, increases in oil prices, the delays inherent to transpacific shipping, and even
shutdowns and logjams at U.S. seaports, forced some manufacturers to look elsewhere.

Supply Chain Illumination: The Value of Mapping Supply Chains

whitePaper | September 12, 2022

The supply chains of many organizations are becoming increasingly complex. At the same time, potential business risks around supply chains are growing, due to increasing regulations regarding supply chain security, emerging cybersecurity risks, international sanctions, environmental and carbon concerns, product quality issues, climate-related weather events, increasing supply costs, and numerous other potential disruptors. Most organizations don’t fully understand their supply chain. Companies often underestimate the number of businesses, actors, and countries involved in different stages of producing their products.
