Quantify durable demand before deciding where productive capacity belongs
Strategic purchasing can do more than acquire a product. It can support suppliers, skills, integration and production.
Quantify durable demand before deciding where productive capacity belongs
Create qualification, integration and procurement pathways for local and regional suppliers
Price land, power, tax, infrastructure, workforce and other host contributions into the overall structure
Align shared investment with local production, workforce and supply-chain outcomes
Build capability around assembly, deployment, maintenance and systems integration before attempting upstream production
Expand from procurement to ownership or production only where demand and economics support the transition
