Reshoring/Backshoring/Onshoring/Insourcing:
Bringing back manufacture of products that
will be sold or assembled here.

Localization - producing near the consumer!
We assist companies to more accurately
access their total cost of offshoring with our

Why offshoring occurred
• Cheap labor
• Herd mentality in which companies followed
each other offshore
Corporate expectations of offshoring:
• Achieving lower prices for customers
• Pursuit of greater gross profit margins

Flawed company economic model
60% of manufacturers:
Apply “rudimentary” total cost models

PPV (Purchase Price Variance)

offshored products

Why Reshoring Is Happening
Higher wages in China,
Increased use of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) –
Includes costs, risks, and strategic factors that were
ignored over the past few decades
TCO = more obvious costs + “hidden” costs
Total Cost = True Cost
Reshoring is the act of producing or sourcing locally
again
TCO is the methodology you use to decide what to
reshore
A Counter-argument
Skilled labor shortage
Experienced management shortage
Currency manipulation
Insufficient ecosystem
Cost of transition
Lack of scale
Lack of political commitment

Walmart’s 10 Year $250 Billion Initiative
Over the next 10 years, Walmart is investing $250 billion in
products that support American jobs
Walmart’s U.S. president, Bill Simon, suggested in a speech
to fellow retailers that the power of their order books can help
reshore U.S. production in textiles, furniture, pet supplies,
some outdoor categories, and higher end appliances.
In the 10th year of Walmart’s program, it will be buying $50
billion more U.S. products per year, generating, by
our estimate, about 300,000 additional manufacturing jobs (by
Boston Consulting Group’s estimate, 1,000,000 total jobs).

Pick a Region Where You Can Win!
Larger companies that import
Suppliers that can substitute for the imports
Typically bigger than a city. Might need a
state or region
3/5/2015
22
Best Practices
Train MEPs, Chambers, EDOs, etc. on TCO
Target importers, e.g. via Datamyne
Send teams to the importers: how can we help you with
supply chain problems?
Help the importer and suppliers become more competitive vs.
imports: MEPs, comm. colleges, technology suppliers, etc.
Have Reshoring Summits for the importers and suppliers
Document and promote reshoring successes
Ideally, bring importers and suppliers together in Purchasing
Fairs
43
How to get started
44
Ask companies about pain and opportunities with imports:
Delivery/air freight
Orders lost due to delivery or slow response
Quality
Excess inventory
Travel
Late night calls
IP loss or risk
Regulatory issues
Purchase price rising
Corruption
Violence
Natural disasters or political instability
3/5/2015
23
Suggested Company Priorities re Reshoring
1st Keep existing domestic sources
2nd Shift outsourcing back
3rd Repurpose offshore own-facility to serve the
offshore market. Incrementally invest domestically to
serve domestic market
4th Shut offshore own facility. Build new domestic
facility.
TAKEAWAYS for EDOs
Use TCO to:
Help companies make sourcing decisions
Convince local companies to stay, expand and source locally
Convince foreign companies to locate here
Use reshoring case studies to promote local companies
Put as much emphasis on local outsourcing as on OEMs’
factories:
Try state Purchasing Fairs
Much faster implementation
Less need for incentives!
Build clustering/moats/ecosystems around your companies
Attract suppliers, OEMs and FDI to join the cluster
Have the nation’s best skilled workforce training: recruits and
incumbents. Compete on number of NIMS and MSSC
credentials earned.
