NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
As the end of 2023 neared, Supply Chain Dive decided to explore the different ways companies have been strategically shifting their supply chains.
Our goal? Showcase how the changes in trade patterns, whether spurred by geopolitical tension or some other disruption, prompted shifts that impact every aspect of the supply chain, from logistics to procurement and everything inbetween.
After weeks of contemplation, brainstorming and hard work, our nearshoring series was born, with each topic carefully selected to help garner insight for our readers, and feed our own curiosities.
From inception to the finished product, these five, incredibly detailed and well-researched deep dives demonstrate the various ways companies are strategizing to cut lead times and costs, realigning their shipping networks and why some might opt to shift production away from China.
We hope you find this specially crafted package informative as we reflect on 2023’s ups and downs, and look forward to what 2024 has to bring. While it is impossible to anticipate what happens in the future, one can always take a holistic look at overarching global trade patterns to draft strategic insight for the months to come.
