A critical challenge for manufacturers will be to
approach footprint decisions in a more nuanced way, using a
full range of criteria, rather than simply seeking the lowest-cost
sources of labor.
Report, “Manufacturing the future: The next era of global growth and
innovation” — McKinsey Global Institute, November 2012
DAY ONE: DECEMBER 4, 2013
“ Foreign manufacturers aren’t the only ones waking up to the benefits of making
things in the U.S. Since 2010, more than 200 companies, mostly U.S.–based, have brought back production they had sent out of the country.
That phenomenon, known as onshoring, has created about 50,000 new U.S. factory jobs, according to
the Reshoring Initiative, an industry coalition.—Paul Davidson,
“Foreign manufacturers bringing jobs to U.S.”, USA TODAY, 5/15/13

8:30 Keynote Interview
9:15 The Great Labor Debate: The public policy issues and corporate initiatives that
are influencing and addressing U.S. manufacturing labor challenges
As manufacturing partnerships provide access and efficiencies in sourcing labor, a debate is raging. Some experts insist the U.S. has plenty of available and highly trained labor, in fact, people cannot get hired fast enough; the problem is that the manufacturers are not working hard enough to identify and trainprospectiveemployees.Thecounterpointinsiststhatthegreatest threat to the renewal of American manufacturing is theabsenceofaqualifiedworkforcefollowingtwogenerationsofabraindrainandinadequatefocusonSTEMeducationandan overwhelming bias towards university education instead of skills training.

How well manufacturers adopt a strategy of innovation in their corporate culture will separate the winners and the losers in years to come.

Experts demonstrate how to integrate culture, process and infrastructure into the innovation cycle.
