Minimize Exposure. Strengthen Resilience. Enable Growth.

For manufacturers navigating an increasingly volatile geopolitical and trade landscape, overreliance on a single region for a supply chain—especially China—creates significant cost, compliance, and continuity risks. PRG’s Strategic Supplier Shift Assessment helps organizations reliant on a global supply chain shift or expand sourcing from high-risk to low-risk alternative suppliers and regions that align with your company’s cost, quality, innovation and resilience goals.

What This Assessment Delivers

  • Identifies country-specific sourcing risks (tariffs, political instability, environment, regulatory shifts)
  • Maps and assesses China or other country facilities and sub-tier suppliers risk
  • Evaluates tradeoffs across regions (e.g., Mexico, Southeast Asia, U.S.)
  • Assesses impact on lead times, customer satisfaction, and service level continuity
  • Creates a staged and financially justified roadmap for regional diversification and/or redundancy
  • Identifies impacts on business systems (PLM, ERP, etc.) and makes recommendations for implementing changes

Scope of Work

  • Executive Strategy Alignment – Understand business goals, risk thresholds, and internal drivers
  • Stakeholder Interviews – Input from Procurement, Engineering, Operations, Quality, and Finance
  • Country of Origin BOM Mapping & Tariff Exposure Modeling – Develop product-level sourcing risk by region and cost
  • Multi-tier Supplier Dependency and Disruption Risk Evaluation – Assess direct and sub-tier vulnerabilities (Tier 1–3) by supplier and location
  • Scenario Planning and Regional Tradeoff Analysis – Compare cost, capability, and risk of alternative sourcing locations and suppliers
  • Compliance, Regulatory and IP Risk Considerations – Factor in region-specific regulatory and security risks
  • Reverse Logistics and RMA Risk Assessment – Analyze current-state failure returns, repair process flows, and region-specific challenges
  • Final Executive Briefing, Report and Roadmap – Exposure models, actionable options, business case

Outcomes

  • Executive-level visibility into current China exposure and other supply chain risk hot spots
  • Roadmap for reducing exposure to high-risk regions
  • Business case for investing in a more resilient sourcing strategy
  • Aligned internal teams on tradeoffs and readiness to act
  • Downstream constraints in fulfillment, repair and customer support evaluation
  • Identification of business transformation initiatives (ERP, PLM, QMS, Logistics) required to effectively support a strategic supplier shift

Ideal For

  • Manufacturers sourcing a large % of components or subassemblies from China or other at-risk regions or overseas
  • Companies under pressure to reduce geopolitical or compliance risk
  • Enterprises seeking to align sourcing with regionalization, ESG, or CHIPS Act compliance
  • Companies that need to create supply chain redundancy
  • Teams planning ERP/PLM  implementations or transitions that would benefit from upstream risk clarity

Pricing and Timing

  • Engagement is expected to take 60-90 days
  • Final pricing varies based on BOM complexity, # of SKUs, supplier tiers, and CM sites
