To manage cost inflation, they must look inward.
GEP’s new white paper, The 7-Point Plan to Help Manufacturing Companies Mitigate Cost Inflation, recommends a range of strategies — from process improvements and data cleansing to value engineering and nearshoring — to help manufacturers contain costs.

- Driving process improvements and compliance
- Benefits of substitute materials and value engineering
This paper is essential reading for supply chain and procurement leaders from industrial manufacturing and automotive companies looking to offset the brunt of inflation.
