Back to business. These are my favorite articles related to supply chain management of this week.

• The Financial Post asks: “Does Asia really need to be part of your supply chain strategy?”. Supply chain professor David Simchi-Levi discusses some of the drawbacks of far-away manufacturing and the potential shift towards a more local approach. The article is based on another article published in the MIT Sloan Management Review. (Financial Post)
• Zurich Financial highlights some details of an earlier study on supply chain risks focussed on Australian companies. (Zurich Australia)
