We are beginning to
see manufacturing return to the US. This should continue as long as we have a
competitive business environment with low corporate tax and no unnecessary
regulations. Companies should still be required to clean up its own messes.
The easiest part of
manufacturing to bring back to the US is high speed highly automated process
manufacturing that requires technicians, operators and material handlers and
little or no touch labor. It does
require $millions and even $billions in investment capital, but high throughput
of product in these plants makes them commercially viable. They normally operate 7 days per week, 24
hours per day using 4 teams of employees to cover the shifts and maintenance
never stops.
The best way to
increase the number of manufacturing operations in the US is to establish final
assembly plants, so parts vendors follow.
Most of these
manufacturing plants should return to rural cities in rural counties throughout
the US. Most will be foreign
manufacturers whose products are bought by American consumers. Most will locate near raw material used and
consumers served with good connectivity to the supply chain.
