One year ago, MediCraft LLC decided to optimize costs and changed their face mask manufacturing supplier in China to maintain market price. Initially, it significantly impacted the revenue; however, over time, quality issues began to surface, leading to the risk of losing loyal clients due to inconsistent product quality.
To improve business operations, MediCraft LLC has hired you as an external consultant. You are expected to provide advice on financial management issues, customer relationship improvement, business strategy, and development.
MediCraft LLC is also considering changing the supplier country with relatively low labor costs and a beneficial exchange rate of the local currency to the euro. Important factors include taxation rates, transportation flexibility, and low costs of shipping the goods to the EU. MediCraft LLC has asked you to collect information on potential new suppliers in other countries.
