• IAMC Professional Forum• Theme: Growing Manufacturing in
America• J. Michael Mullis• Factors Driving the Renaissance of
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
