Why single-factory dependence fails
Capacity crunches, machine breakdowns, raw-material delays and seasonal peaks all hit single-factory programmes. Multi-vendor structures add resilience — but only if coordination is deliberate.
The coordination layer
A workable multi-vendor chain needs: one specification standard, one approval authority, comparable costing templates, transparent capacity data and a scoring system that rewards reliability.
Geographic diversification
Fact: India and Indonesia have different holiday calendars, monsoon patterns and logistics profiles. Opinion: splitting programmes across both countries smooths risk that buyers often only discover after their first delayed peak-season order.
