Effective supply chain planning must consider a number of external and internal factors. Tariffs are the latest external consideration causing many manufacturers to revisit their supply network decisions. 

Tariffs not only add cost to your purchases, but also create uncertainty within your supply base as your supplier leadership is forced to revisit capacity and other investment decisions in their business plan. Ignoring these risks and opportunities within your supply chain opens you up to unpleasant surprises, and creates opportunities for your competition.
