Re-shoring
A SpeedFactory is a small, local factory, with a short lead time that works in tandom to a global outsourced supplier.
My work of re-shoring with SpeedFactories with Robert Boute (KULeuven) and Jan Van Mieghem (NorthWestern) has been summarised into a nice article written by Sachin Waikar appearing in Kellogg Insight. This article has also been republished by IndustryWeek.com. Our Speed Factory article was voted one of the top 15 articles in Kellogg Insight for 2018! It was the only Operations Management article in the list.
