Abstract
This study examines the relationship between near-and reshoring activities and digital maturity in the operational performance of Swiss manufacturing companies. We use data from the 6th Swiss Manufacturing Survey, which was conducted in 2022. The simple effect of reshoring on production costs is negative; however, we find it to be positively moderated by digital maturity. We also find that the effect of nearshoring on production cost is positively moderated by digital maturity. With regard to product quality, we find no significant link to reshoring or nearshoring. Concerning delivery reliability, we find that the simple effect of reshoring is positive.
