Outsourcing
manufacturing
to
China
to
reduce
costs
in
the
supply
____________________
is
by
no
means
a
new
development
.
In
fact
there
are
____________________
in
North
America
that
have
been
successfully
outsourcing
to
China
for
as
long
as
40
years
.
Many
companies
that
have
been
in
China
for
some
time
have
seen
significant
rewards
for
their
____________________
,
and
therefore
a
high
percentage
of
their
overall
____________________
are
dependent
on
successful
offshoring
in
China
.
By
comparison
,
the
outsourcing
of
manufacturing
to
India
is
relatively
new
,
gaining
a
foothold
within
the
past
seven
years
.
While
India
has
become
a
master
in
the
area
of
information
technology
outsourcing
,
the
supply
chain
processes
related
to
____________________
outsourcing
continue
to
be
a
challenge
and
obstacle
for
many
North
American
companies
.
The
growth
of
manufacturing
outsourcing
in
China
is
having
an
impact
on
the
physical
distribution
components
of
the
supply
chain
.
One
primary
concern
relates
to
the
logistics
infraestructure
within
China
,
which
is
considerably
less
developed
when
moving
away
from
the
____________________
hubs
,
which
are
primarily
in
the
coastal
provinces
.
In
India
,
two
primary
concerns
arise
time
and
again
infrastructure
and
____________________
.
North
American
companies
outsourcing
to
India
struggle
with
the
movement
of
goods
between
states
due
to
India's
unique
state
to
state
taxation
regulations
India
holds
excellent
potential
as
a
low
-
cost
player
,
but
state
-
to
-
state
road
infrastructure
and
restrictive
taxes
for
interstate
movement
of
goods
currently
limit
how
much
a
North
American
company
can
accomplish
there
.
For
India
to
achieve
supremacy
in
manufacturing
outsourcing
similar
to
its
achievements
in
the
field
of
information
technology
(
IT
)
,
and
to
keep
pace
with
countries
like
Vietnam
and
Thailand
,
it
will
have
to
make
substantive
improvements
in
infrastructure
and
the
ability
to
move
