When 25% of global production rests on China’s shoulders, shifting suppliers isn’t as simple as flipping a switch.
In this concise, under-two-minute episode, we dissect the hard truths behind alternative sourcing amid a looming 60% tariff. Using real-world examples like Apple’s clumsy pivot during the pandemic, we expose why rapidly moving production to hubs like Vietnam, India, or even re-shoring isn’t a silver bullet—it comes with capacity constraints, logistical challenges, and hidden costs.
This episode isn’t about abandoning China overnight; it’s about rebalancing your supply chain. We outline practical strategies to identify product categories ripe for diversification, build supplier intelligence, and negotiate smarter, ensuring you’re not caught off guard when market shifts force your hand.
Tune in for a sharp, no-nonsense guide that helps you weigh the risks and opportunities of supplier diversification. If you’re ready to move decisively while others panic, this podcast is your first step toward a more resilient, agile supply chain.
