Manufacturing in U.S.
Business Development
•Key Factors That Initially Drove U.S. Industry Overseas– Cheap Labor– Cheap Fuel– Strong U.S. Dollar
•Then Came The Global Financial Crisis Starting 2007– Curtailed expenditures – Debt reduction– Employment rightsizing – Human capital talent improvements
Business Development
• Re-Analysis Of Doing Business Abroad – Fact of mismanaged supply chain decisions that
created many new projects overseas – “Labor savings only” justified the moves
– “Price Variance” factor measurement – cheapest way to manufacture without any consideration for numerous ancillary costs
– Realization that the total cost of doing business overseas has been significantly under-estimated (Supply Chain Management Organization
