Supply Chain

Q: What is supply chain relocation mapping?

Supply chain relocation mapping is the process of assessing where and how a company can move part of its production or sourcing activities to a new market, based on factors such as cost, supplier availability, industrial clusters, logistics, trade benefits, compliance, and long-term resilience.

Q: Why are companies considering ASEAN for supply chain relocation?

Companies are looking at ASEAN to reduce single-country dependency, manage tariff and geopolitical risks, access competitive manufacturing ecosystems, and build more flexible regional supply chains across markets such as Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Singapore.

Q: What should companies evaluate before relocating their supply chain?

Before relocating, companies should assess product suitability, total cost of ownership, supplier ecosystems, workforce availability, logistics infrastructure, compliance requirements, and the right operational model, such as contract manufacturing, joint venture, or owned factory.
