This presentation addresses the vital importance of reshoring U.S. manufacturing capability to ensure economic and military security. You’ll learn how U.S. manufacturing got where it is today, how outsourcing threatens U.S. security, and what U.S. manufacturers can do to fix the problem. The author of several books and a 20-year veteran of IBM and Fairchild Semiconductor, Levinson argues that the proven methods we used to gain manufacturing supremacy in the first place can help us get it back. If the job can be made sufficiently productive, then the per-unit labor cost ceases to be relevant. Businesses can pay high wages, realize high profits, and deliver low prices simultaneously. The contest is then not between high wages and cheap labor, but between efficiency and inefficiency. If you’ve ever lost business to overseas competition, you will not want to miss this presentation!
In this webinar, you will learn:
- How a resurgence in U.S. manufacturing could help solve the nation’s debt crisis.
- How the wrong financial metrics led U.S. manufacturers to ruin—and how to calculate the actual total cost of ownership of outsourced parts.
- How well-paid workers are actually cheaper than cheap workers.
- Common sources of waste in manufacturing—and how to eliminate them.
