Miami—Aug. 29, 2011—The Hackett Group has launched a study to determine the affect of inflationary pressures on manufacturing in low-cost countries.
Hackett's 2011 Supply Chain Optimization Performance is designed to get answers to questions such as:
- What impact are rapidly changing cost drivers having on manufacturers?
- What strategies are manufacturers using to offset these costs?
- Are manufacturers bringing production closer to customer markets?
- What are the critical success factors for optimizing the supply chain footprint?
The study is open until Sept. 16, at no cost to participants. Study participants will receive a research report and an exclusive invitation to a presentation of key research findings. Responses from individual participants will remain completely confidential and will be used only in combination with those of other study respondents to develop a composite picture.
