Consumer Goods

In today’s market, consumer goods manufacturers are moving manufacturing offshore to remain competitive. They are also expanding their product portfolios to defend against private label brands. Simultaneously, they must increase customer service to maintain brand positioning and reduce costs despite adding complexity, time and variability to their value chain. Product savings can be realized by adopting low-cost country sourcing strategies and optimizing total landed costs at the end of the transaction.
