Insourcing - This Week in Supply Chain Management (33 / 2012)

I found one article this week, which I can commend.

• Local productions seems to become more prominent with manufacturers. The article at BusinessGreen summarizes a new study by the EEF. (BusinessGreen)

  
  A new survey by EEF, the manufacturers’ organisation, found that two-fifths of companies are bringing production back in-house, and a quarter have increased their use of local suppliers over the past three years, largely as a result of the recession and the impact of natural disasters, such as last year’s Japanese earthquake.
