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.

This mandate has driven distribution centers to become increasingly complex and dependent on automation systems, while raising the stakes to threaten critical damage in the event of cost overruns or project delays.
