Growing demand is driving many companies to increase manufacturing/sourcing capacity. Pressure on costs, geopolitical uncertainties and last but not least labor market challenges across the globe do not make this an easy exercise. Consolidate manufacturing to rationalize costs? Where to expand manufacturing capacity? At current locations or at new locations with a more favorable labor and tax climate?

The Manufacturing Footprint Optimization webinar deals with key challenges on a global/ regional/ divisional level: how to develop the right strategy which determines which products – to be made with which production technology – for what markets – where?

The following specific topics will be covered:

  • What are the current trends in terms of manufacturing footprint development of leading companies in Europe, the US, China and/or Asia?
  • What is the best approach for manufacturing footprint optimization? Which process? Which methodologies? How to analyze scenarios in detail?
  • What impact will technological developments/automation in the production process (Industry 4.0) have on your future footprint strategy?
  • How is the labor market pressure impacting footprint and location decisions?
  • How to select the optimal location for a new manufacturing plant in Europe, the Americas or APAC?
