The shifting of manufacturing to overseas countries is expected to increase 30-40 percent each year for the next 5 years. By 2015, the impact will be a loss of 3.3 million jobs and $136 billion in wages to North America, according to Forrester Research.
Off-shoring has had a band-wagon effect. As a result, many companies fail to look at all the variables related to shifting manufacturing facilities overseas. The economic impact on our nations is also often overlooked.
"Save Your Factory" is intended to help companies consider an alternative to moving off shore. Automating and streamlining our existing manufacturing facilities will enable North America to maintain its manufacturing and productivity leadership, keep its economies strong and utilize its available labor force effectively.
For all these reasons, you should consider saving your factory.
