| In-Region |
A responsive supply chain, with lower inventory, in region postponement and configuration. Product completion in close proximity to the end customer. This model supports extremely tight lead-times and a very high level of complexity. The model tends to be build-to-demand. |
| Near-Region |
The evolution of this is near-region where price is starting to become an issue and whilst customers want a high degree of flexibility, are willing to trade some of this in order to get to cost targets so the ideal solution is to be near-region in Eastern Europe and Mexico. |
| Asia-off shore |
Low cost assembly but with higher supply chain transit times and freight cost. |
