The Revitalization of American Manufacturing: The Lessons for Qu bec Harry Moser President Reshoring Initiative Innovative Manufacturer
My Long-Term Overview re U.S. Mfg. Since WWII: World policeman Opened market to help countries stabilize and democratize Sacrificed its manufacturing for diplomacy Target market for ROW s exports Currency too high due to reserve and safe haven status Poor basic education, training, tax policy Short-sighted corporate strategies and sourcing policies Result: Cumulative trade deficits since 1980: $11T, ~ 50% of NYSE value Budget deficits, mfg. employment, income inequality Most of mfg. job loss is due to offshoring
Relevant Recent Trends BTE Tailwinds: Chinese wages rising rapidly Industry 4.0 Consumer preference for Made in USA Lean/Increasing recognition of the costs and risks of offshoring Walmart Globalization & trade deficit plateaued / Localization growing Headwinds: USD 30% too high vs. most currencies Oil price low ROW slow
The Bleeding had Stopped Manufacturing Jobs/Year 2000-2003 Annual Average ~240,000 2015 % Change New Offshoring New Reshoring & FDI Net Jobs Gained ~60,000 -75% 12,000 67,000 + 400% ~-220,000 ~0 N/A 4
What Happens ATE? Donald J. Trump s Vision: Negotiate fair trade deals that create American jobs, increase American wages, and reduce America's trade deficit. Actions: Ford/Apple/Carrier, TPP, etc. Plans: NAFTA, China Reduced corp. tax rates & regulations Repatriate $Ts BAT or tariffs Companies: U.S. or delay. (BLS) , +100% (RI)
NAFTA USTR 3/30/17 Greater flexibility to impose/reinstate tariffs Stronger rules for labor/environment WH 3/31/17 USTR statement: Is not a statement of administration policy Misses currency disputes & trade deficit reduction targets Seeks authority to re-impose tariffs, protect at risk industries Calls for: Leveling the playing field in tax treatment Expanding opportunities for agriculture Strengthening rules of origin
The Industry-Led Reshoring Initiative Provides Online Library of 4,000+ reshoring articles Statistics from TCO and Library databases Case Study template for posting cases. Motivation for skilled manufacturing careers Free Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) software for: Companies for sourcing Suppliers of parts and equipment for selling
TCO cases, China vs. U.S. Comparison Basis % of cases where U.S. has the advantage 5% 53% 48%* Price TCO Difference *Conservatively 25% might return if companies shifted to TCO Source: TCO user database
Circuit Boards morey_logo Woodridge, IL Supplies heavy equipment companies Had quality issue with a Chinese component Found local IL source Result: Quality problem fixed Inventory cut by 94% $60M order 12
Canadian Cases Reshoring FDI Kept From Offshoring
Industry 4.0 Advanced manufacturing favors developed countries: Less labor/unit of output Required labor is higher skilled with smaller % wage difference vs. developing countries More capital intense. Equipment is as or more expensive in other countries due to VATs. Enables fast, customized customer response, impossible from Asia 14
Virtuous Cycle: Reshoring/Productivity Reshoring Capacity Utilization Competitiveness Investment Productivity
Competitiveness Toolkit Factor Model Competitiveness Impact Est. 5%? Skilled Workforce Germany and Switzerland Corp Tax Reform VAT Ireland 2% Most of the World 15%? Focus on reshoring $ Down 30% Japan, China, Korea, Europe Reduce regulations/ health costs UK, Korea, Holland ? 10% - 15% ? ? 16
Predictions/Hopes Skilled workforce: Increased support. Corporate tax rates: 20%, phased in BAT: 15%, phased in Adjust tariff and non-tariff barriers to match ROW Regulatory reform: Psychologically positive impact Infrastructure: Moderate size Healthcare: Focus on cost reduction and then revise ACA
Recommended Corporate Strategy Target imports that cause pain Use TCO to evaluate: 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. If Canada is best or close build here/4.0/train If Canada high by 5 - 20%, delay. If high by 20% nearshore or offshore.
Lessons for Canada Focus on: Manufacturing Import substitution/reshoring/FDI more than exports: TCO Track and promote reshoring. Apply our methods. Develop a Canadian Champion! Increase competitiveness Skilled workforce: Shortages everywhere, esp. U.S. Market Made in Canada BAT or VAT: Match any U.S. action Produce more mining and oil equipment. Team with U.S. and Mexico to bring mfg. back from Asia.

Marketing the Benefits of Reshored Products Key behavioral influences to implement when marketing reshored products: Environmental Impact: Sustainable: reduced shipping and stricter standards improves environmental footprint Local Jobs: Reduces unemployment and supports local families and communities Convenience and Efficiency: Provides more efficient production, flexibility and faster lead times Quality: Made in USA reinforces the message of quality standards, builds brand presence and creates an emotional connection with consumers Source: Traction Digital, The Effects of Reshoring on Purchase Behaviour and How Marketers Need to Keep Pace! , Feb. 2017; https://tractiondigital.com/the-effects-of-reshoring-on-purchase-behaviour-and-how- marketers-need-to-keep-pace/#comments
Quantifying the Competitiveness Gap TCO user database provides: Ex-works product price comparisons User calculated hidden costs including quality, delivery, IP etc. By source country (esp. China) and industry We could: Calculate the % ex-works and TCO competitiveness gaps. Estimate the mix of actions (VAT, corp tax rates, productivity, USD) to reduce the trade deficit by X%.
