The Sourcing Struggle

January 11th, 2008 at 09:54am David Bush - Iasta

Now it seems like there is a never ending stream of coverage on regarding “The China Price” for outsourcing the manufacturing production of various products. So, when I ran across this article in Fortune Magazine, I was not surprised by the content and story line but was happy to see supply management guru, Andrew Bartolini, of Aberdeen, quoted repeatedly. Obviously, Fortune is a mass audience publication and it is good to see Aberdeen, and Andrew, get some nice publicity outside of the niche of supply chain specific periodicals. Of course, the article is short and offers little depth on the topic, but that would be expected as it is not a research briefing. The gist of the article is about doing your due diligence before fully committing to China sourcing, which should come as no surprise. Congrats to Andrew for big timing us all!
