The Hackett Group has launched a new complimentary study designed to assess whether inflationary pressures are driving manufacturing out of China, India, and other low-cost countries. Participants in the Hackett Group's 2011 Supply Chain Optimization Performance Study will learn:

• What impact are rapidly changing cost drivers having on manufacturers

• What strategies are manufacturers using to offset these costs

• Are manufacturers bringing production closer to customer markets

• What are the critical success factors for optimizing the supply chain footprint

Study participants will receive a research report and an exclusive invitation to a presentation of key research findings. The Hackett Group's supply chain optimization study is open until Sept. 30, 2011, at no cost to participants.

The study is available online, click here to access it.
