Even if their business model works, in terms of Supply Chain there is always room for improvements, which is why, they envision a future where Nike begins using data differently in order to shape, predict, and pivot both the supply and demand side of the business, providing flexibility all the way down to the manufacturing level to make and move products when and where they’re needed.
This is why  Nike has announced a strategic partnership with a private equity firm, aiming to increase the company’s manufacturing capabilities in the USA. As part of the partnership, Apollo Global Management has established a new apparel supply chain company and has begun acquiring Nike suppliers in North and Central America.
Under Apollo’s leadership the new supply chain company plans to invest in suppliers and expand by acquiring additional textile and apparel firms.
Nike and Apollo said this would create a more vertically integrated supply chain, resulting in an increase in regional manufacturing capabilities and quicker deliveries of more customised products.
