Title: To Offshore or Reshore? How to Objectively Decide
Date: February 15th, 2012
Time: 2:00pm - 3:00pm ET
Introducing the next webinar hosted by IBS America, Inc. featuring guest speaker Mr. Harry Moser, Founder and Leader of the Reshoring Initiative.
Need help in deciding to expand or start local manufacturing facilities?
Companies are starting to compare the real P&L impacts of offshoring and reshoring in view of recent supply chain disruptions and Boston Consulting Group’s forecast of convergence of Chinese and U.S. net manufacturing costs by 2015. The non-profit Reshoring Initiative provides free software you can use to help companies make the comparison.
In pursuit of “lowest price,” many companies offshored more than was in their own self-interest. Boston Consulting Group’s forecast of convergence of Chinese and U.S. net manufacturing costs by 2015 suggests that the amount of work that is reshored will rise rapidly over the next few years.
To help companies make better sourcing decisions and decide to expand or locate factories in the U.S., the Reshoring Initiative provides a deep understanding of the economic trends and free objective software that helps companies calculate the real current and forecast offshoring impact on their P&L. The simple software helps the user quantify the trade-off of lower price/labor costs vs. the benefits of sourcing closer to the customer. It applies to 18 countries, and is applicable to any of the countries - not just the U.S. - as the destination country.
After this webinar, attendees will:
- Have a thorough understanding
of current and forecast economic trends that suggest reevaluating offshoring/reshoring decisions
- See a total cost of ownership software tool to help you perform your own initial reevaluation
- Understand of the broad strategic impacts of offshoring/reshoring on product differentiation, innovation, enterprise risk management, inventory, etc.
- See a brief demonstration of sophisticated quality management software solution that attendees can use to set and understand long-term production quality control goals.
Who should attend: The strategic insights and the ability to integrate all cost aspects into one figure will appeal to senior thought leaders. The total cost of ownership software will be directly usable by all supply chain management professionals.
