The China Riptide: Threat or Opportunity?
內容大綱
Retailers live or die by a simple creed: stock products that sell, and don't stock products that don't sell. As North American and European companies source more of their goods from China, the risk of getting this wrong increases dramatically. Some companies - including Wal-Mart, Home Depot and Toyota -- are having second thoughts about their China-sourcing strategies, and are either reworking their North American logistics networks or even retreating from China. The authors argue that a firm focus on reducing time and variability in the China-anchored supply chains serving North America and Europe can help companies dramatically reduce their costs, improve their margins, and build competitive advantage. They show why North American and European companies should be looking closer to home, where the cost-of-labor penalty (relative to labor rates in China) is more than compensated for by superior supply-chain performance that is significantly less variable and virtually unaffected by port and surface-capacity constraints.
