Low Cost Sourcing - Current Situation

Today, most organizations have set-up International Procurement Offices (IPO’s) in China, and sometimes in India as well. These organizations have spent a considerable amount of time and effort in setting up these IPO’s and training resources over there.

However, costs have started escalating quite rapidly in these two regions, and companies have become interested in exploring other potential sourcing regions, such as Vietnam, Eastern Europe and Latin America.

However, it is clear that it does not make sense for companies to set up IPO’s in each of these regions as the window of opportunity (when costs are competitive) is likely to be fairly short.
