Near sourcing isn't a trend; it's a strategy

摘要

Near sourcing, in-sourcing, and regional sourcing all mean the same thing: moving a business' operations closer to where the end products are sold. Many referto this practice as a trend, or a general change in direction. But the term "trend" downplays the sincerity and thought behind this shift. Near-sourcing isn't a trend, it's part of an overall plan of action designed to streamline production and spur growth. In other words, it's a strategy, and one that many supply chains have been taking a second glance at lately.
