Start with today’s operating picture
Share current unit cost, order quantities, origin, freight, typical lead time, quality issues and inventory exposure. Identify the specific outcome you want to improve.
Compare landed and operational cost
Unit cost is one input. Freight, applicable duty, inventory carrying cost, minimum orders, defects and expedited shipments can change the economics. Assumptions need to be stated and reviewed.
Plan a staged transition
A new route may require engineering changes, tooling, samples, first article approval and an overlap with the current supplier. The transition plan should protect continuity.
A decision, not a promise
Domestic production is not automatically cheaper. A useful assessment compares cost, speed, resilience and change control. A future landed-cost calculator will support transparent assumptions; no automated savings figure is presented today.
