Low cost labor, inexpensive international logistics, and less regulated environments have become essential elements to controlling costs, increasing revenue and margins, and remaining competitive in an increasingly internationally competitive landscape. As such, global services and supply have become a critical component of organizational operational strategy.
Inherent supply chain risks embedded in the pursuit of business success are real and the fall out faced by reputable quality conscious organizations, due to supplier ethics and mismanagement can be costly in terms of reputation and other related costs. However, mitigation of this risk is feasible through consistent monitoring to ensure that the drive to increase margins does not substantially increase risk “at the margin.”
