The Proximity Premium Addendum

As the Federal Government and DoD navigate a landscape marked by evolving global dynamics and geopolitical uncertainties, it is crucial to retain the mission readiness of all military branches. Over half of all supply chain disruptions happen at the sub-tier level with suppliers who provide essential materials to mission-critical operations.

Implementing strategic shoring can mitigate risks, protecting sensitive military technology and materials from potential adversaries. Shifting supply chain operations closer to the point of need can not only establish robust regional frameworks but also improve control over operations and ensure that critical military supplies are readily available when needed.

This addendum serves as a new value driver to the Proximity Premium, continuing a conversation on how organizations can aim to streamline supply chains and boost efficiency. This addendum provides insight to the DoD on how to build more resilient, efficient and sustainable supply chains at home and overseas.
