What to produce where: the role of China plants in global capacity decisions
Multinational companies face a hard question: what role should a site play in the next 3 to 5 years?
China is a key market and production base. But cost pressure, China+1 strategies, local competition, tariffs, and changing customer demand are forcing management teams to rethink where products should be produced and where future capacity should be built.
This presentation shows how data-based planning tools support these decisions.
We will look at practical questions: which products belong where, which volumes should be shifted or localized, where new capacity is needed, and how different investment scenarios affect cost, utilization, flexibility, and risk.
The message for leaders is clear: better data helps you defend investment decisions and position your site more strongly in the global production setup.
