Moving back or increasing manufacturing activities in the UK: smart or stupid?

IJan Godsellt is estimated that moving manufacturing back to the UK could create up to 20,000 jobs and boost UK GDP by 0.8% in the next decade. And more important, keeping manufacturing in the UK can actually save you money from total cost of ownership (TCO) perspective.

Where is the best location for your manufacturing activities? Should you supply globally, regionally or locally? Is moving back or increasing production in the UK a smart decision?

We are inviting those involved in making decisions on the location of manufacturing activity to participate in our special survey, which aims to discover the best fit between strategy and locations, in order to achieve the best performance.

The project is led by Professor Jan Godsell, Head of the Supply Chain Research Group at WMG, and takes about 15 minutes to complete. To thank you for your time, we will provide a copy of the final research report, a chance to attend the SCiP networking event for free and you will be entered into a prize draw to win a ticket, worth £125, to our Global Supply Chain Debate 2017 (GSCD).

The survey can be completed here until the end of November 2016.
