Case Study: a U.S.-based manufacturer improves supply continuity and lowers landed costs with GEP

U.S.-Based Manufacturer improves landed costs by 10% with GEP

A U.S.-based manufacturer faced significant supply chain risks due to its heavy reliance on suppliers in China for critical components. To build resiliency and mitigate these risks, the company partnered with supply chain consultancy and software provider GEP.

GEP helped the manufacturer by implementing a risk assessment framework to identify high-risk components and then sourcing suitable alternative vendors in North and South America. Through this process, GEP assisted in negotiating lower rates with new suppliers, which ultimately reduced the company's landed costs by 10% while also decreasing lead times and inventory carrying costs.
