A MANUFACTURER DRIVEN BY LOW OPERATING COSTS
A MANUFACTURER DRIVEN BY FAVOURABLE MARKET OPERATING CONDITIONS
ALTERNATIVE WEIGHTING SCENARIOS
These scenarios are to be used
as a guide, weightings will vary
on an individual basis, and
indeed different companies
may have a different profile
of secondary criteria that are
important to their business.
Based on our experience
these are the key criteria for a
manufacturer considering site
selection or expansion. From
taking into account the thoughts
and opinions from some of the
largest global manufacturers we
have weighted our predefined
criteria as follows:
This year the Index also
addresses what the impact
would be for a manufacturer
focussed more on Costs or
market operating Conditions.
We highlight what the revised
position would be for each
Country within our Index if
alternative weightings were
applied.
