Question
How much would a small factory cost in China that makes shoes and where is it located?

Answer
Dear Michael:

Thank you for your question. The cost depends on:

Annual volume (thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, etc)
Type of shoes (athletic, leather, hiking, men's, women's, fashion, etc.)

Supply chain costs are different by location, and there are dozens, if not hundreds of alternative locations.

We conduct cost and facility location studies at our consulting group, CGR Management Consultants. I can be reached at 310-553-6837

Sincerely,

Pete Crosby
Principal
