Hidden Costs of Switching Factories: What Every Business Should Know

The true cost of switching factories is often overlooked.

Switching suppliers seems like a quick fix, but it comes with hidden costs:

1. Tooling adjustments for new production lines.

2. Extended lead times during onboarding.

3. Quality risks during the factory’s learning curve.

Before switching, calculate the full cost of transition versus the savings.

Sometimes it’s cheaper to invest in resolving issues with your current supplier.
