Description
Between higher ocean rates and new import tariffs, many companies have spent the last several years exploring whether to "re-shore" (source goods from a new country of origin) or "nearshore" (source goods specifically from North America) to save lead-time and/or costs. With the October 1 east coast port strike - and recent news that a tentative agreement has been reached - this question of re-shoring and nearshoring is again being explored in many supply chains.
We will hear from Tereza Pontigo at OPT Supply Chain Solutions, a supply chain consultant who works with companies on near-shoring strategies, specifically in Mexico.
Join fellow UWEBC member companies in sharing approaches to re-shoring/nearshoring efforts, successful examples, and barriers to change in the global sourcing market.
