McKinsey & Company

“Manufacturers can create value, cut costs, and reduce exposure to volatile commodity prices by improving their resource productivity – using fewer resources for each unit of output. Leaders are looking for opportunities beyond their own operations. Collaboration with suppliers and customers can keep used products, components, and materials in circulation. New business models that rethink ownership can shift value along the supply circle.”
