“
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.

The Great Labor Debate:
The public policy issues and corporate initiatives that
are influencing and addressing U.S. manufacturing
labor challenges
11:15 Innovation and the New Manufacturing Workplace:
Competing on innovation and getting out in the
market fast and first—trends, technologies and ideas
that every manufacturer needs to consider in order to
remain competitive
How well manufacturers adopt a strategy of innovation in
their corporate culture will separate the winners and the
losers in years to come. Innovation comes in all shapes and
sizes: repurposing old machinery to output new products,
rebalancing corporate culture, adopting new technologies
in the production cycle and so forth. Experts demonstrate
how to integrate culture, process and infrastructure into the
innovation cycle.
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.Thecounterpointinsiststhatthe
greatest threat to the renewal of American manufacturing is
theabsenceofaqualifiedworkforcefollowingtwogenerations
ofabraindrainandinadequatefocusonSTEMeducationand
an overwhelming bias towards university education instead of
