Low cost country sourcing (LCCS) is the procurement strategy in which a company sources materials from countries with lower labour and production costs in order to cut operating expenses. LCCS falls under a broad category of procurement efforts called global sourcing.
Organizations are increasingly resorting to countries and regions where materials, products and parts can be obtained at low cost. By making use of LCCS, they can diversify their supply base and reduce the risks associated with supply chain disruption, and increase gross margins while improving efficiency.
Organizational corporate strategy identifies procurement as a major activity, leading to LCCS being the obvious choice for cost reduction. However, it is important to ensure that obtaining material at a lower cost does not compromise on quality or give rise to supply issues, in which case you will end up with additional costs that cancel any savings made.
