Avoiding danger 22/09/2008
 
offshore manufacturing There has been no shortage of high profile offshore manufacturing horror stories. Sweatshops, disregard for health and safety and tainted goods have all brought disrepute – and worse – to companies who thought they could be more efficient by moving manufacture abroad.
It is important to list the reasons for wishing to manufacture any product offshore so the areas being considered may be compared for performance against the desired benefits. Don’t fall into the trap of assuming that simply moving to a low cost economy (LCE) for manufacture will give you a reduced product cost.
