Send us a text message.With U.S. manufacturing facing a potential shortfall of 7.5 million skilled workers, how can we bring jobs back and build the workforce to sustain them?In this episode of The TechEd Podcast, host Matt Kirchner sits down with Harry Moser, founder and president of the Reshoring Initiative, to explore the critical intersection of reshoring manufacturing, workforce development, and technological advancement. With decades of experience in manufacturing and workforce advocacy, Harry shares actionable insights for educators, policymakers, and business leaders aiming to strengthen America's industrial future.From addressing workforce shortages to overcoming supply chain risks, Harry explains the importance of apprenticeships, hands-on learning, and reshoring strategies like total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis. He also reveals why countries like Switzerland excel in workforce preparation and what the U.S. must do to compete.Listen to learn:How reshoring addresses a 45% cost gap with China to protect U.S. supply chains and economic security.Why FAME apprenticeships produce $98K earners within five years, rivaling or exceeding college degree outcomes.How TCO analysis helps manufacturers uncover hidden costs, making U.S. production viable in 50% of cases.What the U.S. can learn from Switzerland, where 60% of students enter apprenticeships & fuel their industrial workforce.How reshoring has grown U.S. manufacturing jobs 25x since 2010—and the critical steps needed to sustain it.3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Reshoring is essential for U.S. economic and national security in an era of global uncertainty.The U.S. faces a 45% manufacturing cost gap with China, but Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis shows that 50% of cases favor reshoring when hidden costs like tariffs and geopolitical risks are factored in. Harry Moser emphasizes the dangers of supply chain disruptions and reliance on foreign manufacturing for critical goods.2. Apprenticeships are a high-earning alternative to traditional college degrees, with faster results.Graduates of programs like FAME earn an average of $98,000 annually within five years, far surpassing many degree holders. They also start earning earlier, graduate debt-free, and enter the workforce with advanced technical skills in high demand.3. The U.S. must address a projected 7.5 million skilled worker shortfall in manufacturing.Harry Moser highlights Switzerland's apprenticeship model, where 60% of students gain hands-on skills through advanced training programs, as an example the U.S. could emulate. Building similar pathways could help meet workforce needs and drive manufacturing growth.Resources in this Episode:To learn more about the Reshoring Initiative, visit: reshorenow.orgTry the Total Cost of Ownership Estimator®Instagram - Facebook - YouTube - TikTok - Twitter - LinkedIn

Harry Moser founded the Reshoring Initiative to help bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. Largely due to the success of the Reshoring Initiative, Harry was inducted into the Industry Week Manufacturing Hall of Fame 2010 and was named Quality Magazine's Quality Professional of the year for 2012. Harry participated in President Obama's 2012 Insourcing Forum at the White House, won the Jan. 2013 The Economist debate on outsourcing and offshoring, and received the Manufacturing Leadership Council's Industry Advocacy Award in 2014. Harry is frequently quoted in the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, New Yorker and USA Today and seen on Fox Business, MarketWatch and other national TV and radio programs. He earned a BS in Mechanical Engineering and an MS in Engineering at MIT in 1967, as well as an MBA from the University of Chicago in 1981. Harry and the Reshoring Initiative focus primarily on bringing back as much manufacturing as possible, at the current U.S. level of competitiveness. Secondarily, they work to improve U.S. competitiveness, by advocating for needed policy changes and by strengthening the U.S. skilled workforce. Harry serves on the board of MSSC (Manufacturing Skill Standards Council), a leading manufacturing credentialing organization.

The Reshoring Initiative's 2023 report shows jobs continuing to flow into the United States from Asia as companies look to shorten supply chains and protect themselves against ongoing trade disputes. The figure fell in 2023 from 2022's record but remains well elevated compared to pre-pandemic statistics. At IndustryWeek and other Endeavor Business Media publications, we've seen that trend building with new battery plants, trucking hubs, pharmaceutical operations and plastic injection molding facilities popping up -- operations that might have gone to Asia a decade ago. Discussing that trend are: Lynne Sherwin, managing editor of Plastics Machinery & Manufacturing Karen Langhauser, chief content director for Pharma Manufacturing Kevin Jones, editorial director of EBM's fleet group, including FleetOwner, Trailer/Body Builders, Bulk Transporter, Refrigerated Transporter, American Trucker, and Fleet Maintenance magazines and websites Robert Schoenberger, editor-in-chief of IndustryWeek and editorial director of EBM's manufacturing group 

Where is the United States with reshoring initiatives? Do we still have huge vulnerabilities in our supply chain(s) that need to be addressed? If we continue to reshore manufacturing, will companies remain competitive?  Reshoring impacts supply chains. Reshoring brings more jobs and opportunities to the US. These are all valid questions that are playing in people's minds.  So in this special episode of MakingChips, Rosemary Coates—the Founder and Executive Director of the Reshoring Institute—will answer some of these burning questions. Because, ultimately, if we're not manufacturing chips in the US, the US isn't making money.  – Nick  Segments [0:24] Achieve 95% on-time delivery with ProShop ERP [2:22] The Reshoring Institute vs the Reshoring Initiative [4:31] Rosemary Coates' origin story [11:25] Rosemary's experience as an expert witness [14:02] Why Rosemary started the Reshoring Institute  [17:03] The state of reshoring as it stands today [28:03] How elections may impact reshoring initiatives [32:40] Can US manufacturers stay competitive?  [36:38] Cost structure determines manufacturing environment [40:14] Rosemary's #1 piece of advice for manufacturers  Resources mentioned on this episode Go to ProShop ERP to get their on-time delivery guide Reshoring Institute RCoates@ReshoringInstitute.org Connect with Rosemary on LinkedIn Connect With MakingChips www.MakingChips.com On Facebook On LinkedIn On Instagram On Twitter On YouTube

Manufacturing has slowly been leaving China as companies re-evaluate the profitability of the country and weigh the risks of remaining in China versus the benefits. Some of that manufacturing is moving back to the US, but it's also moving to other countries like Vietnam, Mexico and India. In this episode of China Unscripted, we talk about all the reasons companies are moving out, what the US can do to speed up the trend and whether making everything in the US would cause massive and long-term inflation. Joining us in this episode is Harry Moser, the founder and President of Reshoring Initiative, which aims to bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States from overseas.

Increasingly, companies are choosing to bring manufacturing back to the United States for a variety of reasons, including increased labor costs in other countries and supply chain disruptions caused by events like the COVID-19 pandemic. The Chips Act, renewable energy, and geopolitical tensions with China are additional contributors to the reshoring trend. Companies need to carefully consider their reshoring strategies, as it can involve various approaches, such as setting up new facilities in the US, diversifying manufacturing locations, and partnering with local contract manufacturers. It's also necessary to discuss the importance of incorporating digital technology and adaptability into new facilities to avoid repeating past mistakes. In this week's episode, Madi and Natan discuss manufacturing in the United States, with a focus on reshoring and its potential impact on workers and our economy.

A Reshoring Initiative report estimates that companies bringing operations back to the U.S. helped to create up to 350,000 new jobs in 2022.Dr. Matthew Putman, the CEO of Nanotronics, supports reshoring but encourages companies to consider transforming manufacturing."If you see a lot of the initiatives right now to bring manufacturing to the U.S., they are $100 billion or $80 billion," Putman said. "These huge proposals are thought to be what's required for NextGen manufacturing. I think that manufacturing could be much less expensive. You can do a lot more distributed, smaller manufacturing because of major advances that have been made in software such as artificial intelligence."AI has become more creative. Putman cited advancements such as ChatGPT, a chatbot that generates text, and DeepMind, an AI engine that defeated a professional human in Go, an abstract strategy board game."What if a manufacturing facility could ask a question of artificial intelligence to win the game of producing the best product?" Putman asked. Putman stresses that this would not involve brand new technology or engineering. "This is the real exciting promise because it's completely software," Putman said. "Humans are now the creative force that is trying to optimize for new products that they would like to see in the world, new advances and new technologies rather than those that are doing the laborious tasks. It's just a new way of looking at manufacturing in general."While portions of AI practices are being used, Putman believes the full realization is still a few years away. But Putman's company, Nanotronics, is already using the capabilities. Nanotronics is an advanced machines and intelligence company that helps customers solve unique inspection and process control challenges for precision manufacturing. "We built a factory in nine months that was able to produce everything from medical devices to factory instrumentation by using prefab techniques and our own AI algorithms," Putman said. "We're starting to build these in places in the United States and around the world."Terms like automation and AI can catch the attention of factory workers concerned about machines replacing their jobs. However, Putman said the technological advancements he promotes would add jobs. "Factory work now is high tech work," Putman said. "[In] a machine shop, especially a machine shop that uses artificial intelligence, you're spending time at monitors and stations as much as you are actually cutting things physically because you're collaborating with a robot and with an AI. "There are new skills to be learned, but those skills don't require Ph.D. education. They're skills that can be learned on the job. They're skills that require a new type of training education that companies can provide. Or we can look at a new way of doing trade education."Putman said Nanotronics proves the effectiveness of AI internally and uses it as an example for its 250 global customers in industries such as biomedical, semiconductor and aerospace.  For example, Nanotronics uses artificial intelligence for manual assembly and has an AI agent guide humans to assemble more precisely. Additionally, Nanotronics' customers will use AI in their control systems and be able to identify problems. As a result, the company can correct the problems based on predictions instead of issues that have already happened. "[It's] making the ultimate AI forecasting of what's going to occur rather than what has already occurred," Putman said. "Internally, we use this technology for everything from assembly to machining."Putman has wanted to implement AI in manufacturing operations for about 11 years. He

This week we are joined by Harry Moser, the Founder of Reshoring Initiative. Reshoring Initiative is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to spread the “return-manufacturing-home” message to help manufacturers realize that America is an advantageous place to produce goods. He tells us the story of his personal experiences that inspired him to start this industry-led initiative in early 2010 and why offshoring was not the best choice for many companies in the long-term. He also explains why bringing their message to the mainstream is essential to helping manufacturers achieve success in a time of uncertainty due to factors such as COVID-19, natural disasters and political strife. He also speaks on the importance of fostering the skilled trades and why “Manufacturing Is Cool” is the message that they want to emphasize. Connect with Harry Moser in LinkedIn to keep up with industry trends and to see how Reshoring Initiative's expertise can help your company succeed!

Today on Uptime Logistics, Doug Draper of ACME Distribution and the Denver Transportation Club explores the concept of reshoring America's manufacturing with Harry Moser, founder of the Reshoring Initiative. Created in 2010 as a non-profit, the Reshoring Initiative's goal is to balance the trade deficit of goods that America has with its trading partners.  Harry begins by outlining how the U.S. had a trade deficit of $1.1 Trillion in 2021 . Balancing this would see US manufacturing increase by 40% along with 5 or 6 million new manufacturing jobs. Raising awareness, advocating for policies, and providing pathways to achieve this balanced outcome makes up the work of the Reshoring Initiative. Doug asks more detailed questions about why all of this is important. Harry shares some of Ray Dalio's ideas, along with his own, about the importance of strengthening the US economy and the greater level of confidence created along with that.   They discuss many factors ranging from environmtanl concerns to logistics costs and other considerations. Harry then dives into the methodologies to enables more reshoring, including their calculations of  Total Cost of Ownership. Just by doing the math correctly, about 30% more manufacturing could be easily and economically advantageous to produce in the United States instead of abroad. Today's episode outlines the positive trends we have been seeing over the last 10 years in making progress on reshoring and the positive signals as we look forward to the next 5 and 10 years. Overall, Doug and Harry highlight the importance of reshoring through exploring the reasons why and the methods to achieve this goal.

Harry C. Moser, Founder and President, Reshoring Initiative (@reshorenow) guests Augmented Podcast (@augmentedpod). Augmented is a podcast for industrial leaders, process engineers and shop floor operators, hosted by futurist Trond Arne Undheim [(@trondau)](https://twitter.com/trondau), presented by [Tulip](https://tulip.co/).In this conversation, we talked about what reshoring is, why it is important now, what data there is on it, what the Reshoring Initiative is, and what the future holds for manufacturing.Trond's takeaway Reshoring remains a controversial topic. While the effects may be positive initially what does it mean for the cost and quality of existing supply chains? Is it even realistic to reshore big chunks of a globalized value chain? Which aspects are strategic and which are not? There are many questions, but the projections are alluring and domestically, in most traditional mass manufacturing states, it remains a popular topic and one would think the sustainability effects of more localized production would be a good thing. What's clear is that every nation, and particularly the US, depends on an educated workforce to be competitive. The real question might be: what does it take to create a more competitive world where opportunity exists on every shore?Thanks for listening.

Episode 27 of The Full Potential Podcast features Harry Moser, founder of the Reshoring Initiative. We discuss his career in manufacturing and the work he does today leading a non-profit. Harry shares some fantastic advice for early career individuals looking to get into the manufacturing industry. We also learn how Harry's passion for manufacturing led him to be the president and chairman of a company that had over $100M in revenue his last year leading the organization. In retirement, Harry hasn't slowed down and still focuses on manufacturing leading his non-profit, the Reshoring Initiative. This organization is a non-profit that helps bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. by providing free tools for manufacturers to compare the costs of offshored and domestically sourced work.

Leslie is joined by International Vice President of the United Steelworkers (USW), David McCall. The two discuss why the United States is poised for a manufacturing renaissance, and how we can assure that it happens. Manufacturing is the backbone of the country, providing both critical goods and good jobs. While union members have known this for years, the past year and a half drove home on a wide scale how important domestic manufacturing is not only to our economy, but also to our national security: - Broken supply chains during the pandemic meant shortages of lifesaving personal protective equipment and medical supplies- It also created supply chain shortages in other critical goods like computer chips - Other factors like the strain on Texas's electrical grid this winter are also creating shortages of plastics needed for consumer goods, highlighting the need for more resiliency in our supply chains The manufacturing sector has been weakened over the years by bad trade policy and lack of attention to meaningful and sound economic growth principles. The result of the pandemic caused the sector to fall even more deeply. As a result, in the 1st quarter of 2020, Durable Manufacturing production fell almost 10%, and by the 2nd quarter of 2020 it fell by 58%. In Non-Durable production, during the 1st quarter of 2020, it only fell by less than 1%, but in the 2nd quarter it dropped by 33%. The Manufacturing sector overall lost 1.3 million jobs in March and April of 2020 (900,00 in Durable and 400,00 in Non-Durable). Now the U.S. did add 15,000 manufacturing jobs in June, but we're still down 481,000 jobs from February 2020, which was just before the pandemic struck. Despite these struggles, this is a moment of great potential: - Once the extra federal stimulus money and extra unemployment benefits began in the latter half of 2020, the sector began to rebound - A recent report from the Reshoring Initiative revealed that more companies are reshoring production, or bringing manufacturing jobs back to the United States - Earlier this month, the FTC issued a rule to crack down on Made in America fraud which will help businesses that are truly operating here - We also have a President who is taking the need for domestic manufacturing seriously This is reflected in a number of decisions and policies from the Biden administration: - President Biden issued executive orders intended to help foster domestic manufacturing growth, including a critical supply chain review that resulted in a number of recommendations that were issued last month - He also issued an executive order looking to ensure that wherever possible the government is spending tax payers' money on American-made products. This is already bearing fruit with new waiver guidance that will help close loopholes in Made in America rules But some of the most significant potential for revitalizing domestic manufacturing comes from the effort to rebuild America's infrastructure, especially if it comes with strong domestic procurement provisions. The robust infrastructure investment President Biden is working toward won't just make our communities safer, it'll support a variety of good, union jobs. From making the steel that goes into our bridges, to manufacturing pipes for our water systems, American workers are already well positioned to meet our country's infrastructure needs. But it's not just about meeting last century's infrastructure needs. We also need to invest in things like the fiber optic cables and renewable energy infrastructure – that USW members also make – that will be critical in keeping us connected well into the future. The bipartisan deal 21 Senators are working on is a good start, but we need to keep the momentum going. The website for the USW is www.USW.org.

Host Tom Appel and co-hosts Jill Ciminillo and Damon Bell start the show by discussing Jeep's new Grand Cherokee L three-row SUV. Harry Moser, Founder of the Reshoring Initiative, joins us to talk about his non-profit organization's efforts to bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States. Tom has another quiz for Damon and Jill, and Damon runs down the latest articles on the Consumer Guide Daily Drive blog--including a First Spin review of the Jeep Grand Cherokee L and a test-drive review of the 2021 Nissan Rogue Platinum.

If we want to balance America's $800 billion trade deficit, we need to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. — 5 million manufacturing jobs to be exact. The ancillary benefits would be enormous. We'd reduce CO2 emissions 40-50%, slash the budget deficit, improve unemployment, and bolster national defense. What's stopping us? In this episode of The Manufacturing Executive, Harry Moser, Founder of the Reshoring Initiative, talks about his mission to bring 5 million manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. Here's what Harry and I discussed: Why the U.S. needs its manufacturing jobs back What Harry's Total Cost of Ownership calculator can tell executives about the benefits of reshoring How reshoring can help eliminate the trade deficit To ensure that you never miss an episode of The Manufacturing Executive, subscribe on Apple Podcasts, or Spotify, or here.

Harry Moser, founder of the Reshoring Initiative, discusses how the pandemic has affected reshoring, the connection between reshoring and automation, and the quality improvements possible with reshoring.

It's very rare to relate reshoring initiatives with costs saving and sales growth. It's typically the opposite. However, if you account for all the costs and risks involved with offshoring or near-shoring, including geopolitical risks, reshoring initiatives can help grow a company. In today's episode, we have our guest Harry Mosner from Reshoring Initiative, who discusses how to compute the total cost of ownership of reshoring initiatives. He also shares several stories of manufacturers where they could reduce the costs and increase sales through reshoring initiatives. Finally, he sheds light on manufacturing verticals and components that benefit most from the reshoring initiatives.For more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs.rocks or elevatiq.com.

Meet Harry   He is the founder of The Reshoring Initiative after being president of GF Machining Solutions for 22 years. Awards include Industry Week's Manufacturing Hall of Fame, he's participated actively in President Obama's January 11, 2012, Insourcing Forum, member of the Department of Commerce Investment Advisory Council. He's frequently been quoted in the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, New York Times, New Yorker, and USA Today and seen on Fox Business Market Watch and other programs. Harry has a BS and MS in Engineering from MIT and an MBA from the University of Chicago. Harry, welcome to the show.   Can you share a little bit about what the mission of The Reshoring Initiative is?   So we're a nonprofit and our mission is to bring 5 million manufacturing jobs to the US from offshore by a combination of reshoring by US companies, and FDI, foreign direct investment by foreign companies. We picked 5 million because that's the amount it would take to balance the trade deficit, the goods trade deficit so that then our imports and exports would be about equal so to our mission is to increase our manufacturing by about 40%. So to recover what we've lost from the increasing trade deficit over the last 40 years.   Has the current state with the pandemic been a positive or negative impact on your mission?   For our work, our revenue has quadrupled, because companies now realize that it's too dangerous, too risky to be so dependent on offshore, especially China. What we do is show them that they can make products here in many cases and be at least equally profitable. So so we overcome that. "Well, I'd love to make it here, but I can't afford to", we overcome that issue.   So I want to talk a little bit about this trade deficit. Why does the US have a trade deficit problem?   Your trade balance is the difference between your exports and your imports. So we import $800 billion a year more than we export and that's because our costs, our prices are too high here. We have a method to compare pricing in the US and other countries and our price leaving the factory is about 20% higher than Europe, and about 40% higher than China, Vietnam, Cambodia, India, and consumer wants to buy something inexpensively, the company goes work and get at least expensively and as a result, we have a trade deficit. In classical economics, that should go away quickly because the currency should adjust. If you have a big trade deficit, your currency should go down in value versus other currencies and that would make you more competitive or competitive once again, and the trade deficit would go away. But the US is the reserve currency, and having the banks and institutions where foreigners want to store their money for safety, all those trillions of dollars flowing in forces the dollar up instead of having the goods trade deficit adjust. So one of the things we recommend is to have the US Government Act reduce the value of the dollar by 20, or 30% so that our companies would once again be competitive.   How can our listeners help you achieve these goals here?   If they work for a manufacturing company of any kind, or distributor of goods, or retailer, they could suggest to the company producing or sourcing more in the country. Our tools are helpful, for that we have the TCL estimator that helps the company do the math correctly on the costs associated with importing or exporting, and therefore that would be helpful for their companies also useful for selling. So for the small company to convince this customer to buy from them instead of importing, for example. But also, as consumers, when they're out looking to buy something, they should at least look a little bit, spend a little time looking for the Made in USA product. One of the things I wrote recently is, a lot of people are out buying things just because it's fun to buy things. If you're buying something, not because you need it, but just for the pleasure of buying it, then wait until you can find something made in the USA that you could buy that you don't need instead of something made in China that you don't need.   Can you share with our listeners your most successful or favorite networking experience that you've had?   I've got a couple. First I was at a Hawaii located annual convention of the National Tooling and Machining Association and I'm standing there at the reception one night, I'm talking to bill and Dwayne comes over and Dwayne says, "Bill, don't let Harry take you to dinner," and Bill said, "Why not? He's a nice enough guy," and then Dwayne say, "Well, about four years ago, Harry took Shirly and me to dinner and since then, we've bought $4 million worth of his machines." In the last case, I was at a wedding. Like a nice, fancy Country Club, very nice. I went over to her mother and said, "Anybody here in manufacturing? "I'm tired of talking to lawyers and doctors." Someone named John said they were in manufacturing. I talked to john learned about his company and they were planning to get an EDM machine, that's like, $150,000. I said, "Okay, we'll be in touch," and so in our newsletter that month, I talked about the wedding lead, and then about two months later, I talked about the wedding order that we had got because of the lead I got at the wedding. I said, "For all the salesmen out there, I'm selling at the wedding, make sure you're at least selling 40 hours a week out in your job."   Let's talk about nurturing your network. Regardless of the size, small or large, it's extremely important to stay in front of that community that you've created. How do you do that?   Traditionally, I did it in person, because when I was president of the company, I spent a third of my time visiting customers and prospective customers, going to trade shows, etc. so I met 1000s and 1000s of people. Since then, still a lot of conferences until COVID. Last year, I did 60 podcasts and webinars and this year, I've already got 23 signed up for 2021. So getting in front of them that way and then I get interviewed maybe once a week by the media, we put out an article of some kind every week that gets published. Then everything that we put out, and everything that gets written about us when we get interviewed we post on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, what have you. Sometimes we'll post an article and get 3000 views, something like that.   What advice would you offer to business professionals looking to grow their network?   Once we get back to in person, you know, the physical being with them with each other, work for the crowd, what I call continuously but gently. So when I'm at a conference and there's a reception, people will come over to me and say, "Harry, you're the best networker we've ever seen." So I have a methodology of coming up to people saying, hello, introducing myself, and then I focus first on them. I get them to tell me what they do, all that kind of stuff. It doesn't take long takes it two minutes, three minutes to learn enough. So then I can offer them some advice, offer them a lead, offer them an introduction, offer them something of value. Then when I get around to telling them what I do, I've earned their trust and their interest. Therefore, we've established a relationship. Seek to give before you receive maybe would be sort of a biblical way of looking at it.   If you could go back to your 20-year-old self what would you tell yourself to do more or less of or differently with regards to your professional career?   I got the engineering degrees at MIT. In some ways, I'd have been better off if I like done an apprenticeship first because I'm not very hands-on. People say you're an MIT engineer, fix my bicycle and I don't know. So if I'd had two years or four years of hands-on making things I think I'd have been a better engineer because of that. On the other hand, it would have been quite a detour in my career and I probably wouldn't have achieved everything I've achieved. So it would have been different, but that's one of the things I have thought about.   Let's talk about the six degrees of separation. If there's any person that specifically that you'd love to connect with, and how do you think you'd go about doing that?   At the moment, President Biden. So anybody out there that knows him, I'd appreciate the introduction or someone who knows someone who's on his staff. I did an article for Industry Week recently critiquing Trump's results and Biden's proposals from the viewpoint of reshoring, what will bring the manufacturing jobs back best to the country. I agreed with some of Biden's plans and disagreed with others and I'm convinced that his team does not fully understand the underlying root cause problems and we'd love to help them with that. I did meet with Obama, in a meeting at the White House. I tried to get to Trump but I never succeeded, even though he said he wanted the things that we want, but it never happened. So I'm reaching out to Biden through sort of peripheral contacts that have sought our advice for the campaign and say, "Okay, I gave you the advice now, this time to give us some access." We'll see what happens.   Do you have any final word or advice to offer our listeners with regards to growing and supporting your network?   My advice would be to read the book I’m currently reading. It's called The Foundation Series by Isaac Asimov and it's based 1000s of years into the future, and there's the human humanity has spread out over the galaxy. There's one world that's the world where the Emperor lives and the whole world covered with steel and 100 billion people live there, but the infrastructure and the organization is starting to decline and they're worried about eventually the whole thing coming apart and riots and rebellion and looting and everything else. But the main character, Harry Selden, has developed psychohistory in which he forecasts what will happen in the future of mankind, and how to adjust that so that it comes out more favorably. So it's a great mind-expanding series for anybody that that would find science fiction to be worth reading.   Connect with Harry:    Website: https://reshorenow.org/    Email: harry.moser@reshorenow.org   Email Harry and include “Social Capital” in the subject line if you have any questions!

http://www.leanblog.org/366 My guest for Episode #366 is Harry Moser, founder of the Reshoring Initiative. We talk about “reshoring,” in general, and why that's such an important issue in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond.Harry definitely falls into the category of guests where I wonder, “Why haven't I had this person on the show before?” Harry and his work have been on my radar for a long time. I appreciate the mission and I wish more companies would consider the “Total Cost” (and old Dr. Deming concept) when making manufacturing site location and sourcing decisions instead of focusing only on “unit cost” or “landed cost” (which includes freight and taxes).“The mission of the Reshoring Initiative® is to bring good, well-paying manufacturing jobs back to the United States by assisting companies to more accurately assess their total cost of offshoring, and shift collective thinking from offshoring is cheaper to local reduces the total cost of ownership. “Harry was inducted into the Industry Week Manufacturing Hall of Fame in 2010, based on his long career in manufacturing. He founded the Reshoring Initiative in 2010. Be sure to check out the TCO Estimator tool that he discusses in the episode.“Most companies make sourcing decisions based solely on price, oftentimes resulting in a 20 to 30 percent miscalculation of actual offshoring costs.”The Reshoring Initiative WebsiteHarry's LinkedIn Profile@HarryMoser on Twitter@ReshoreNow on TwitterThe Total Cost of Ownership EstimatorListeners have probably heard of “offshoring” but what is “reshoring”?Why “reshoring”?What is “nearshoring” and is that nearly as good?Tell us about the history of your organization, the Reshoring Initiative…Why should our current Covid-19 crisis be a “wake up call” about where goods are manufactured?Do you think it's fair when analysts or the media blame “just in time” for shortages of goods and equipment during this crisis (in healthcare or retail)?

Despite misconceptions to the contrary, robotics are actually creating jobs and spurring manufacturing growth. Join us as Drew Greenblatt, CEO of steel fabricator Marlin Steel and Harry Moser, Founder and President of The Reshoring Initiative discuss how automation is helping manufacturers expand their production, save companies and return jobs to the United States.

The Reshoring Initiative would like to slap the ''Made in U.S.A.'' label on a lot more products. Can it succeed? The organization's mission is to convince companies to bring manufacturing jobs back from China to the U.S. Recent economic trends in China, including a growing labor shortage and rising factory wages, are helping to make that dream a reality. At the same time, China's recent devaluation of the yuan appears to be drive by a desire to make its manufacturing exports more competitive. So are the jobs really coming home? On this episode, we speak with Reshoring Initiative founder and president Harry Moser. He discusses the group's efforts and talks about some recent successes. And he addresses the real challenges that stand in the way of a wholesale shift of manufacturing to the U.S. The big question: does the U.S. have the people and the skills to handle a big influx of work from China? For that matter, what will those returning jobs look like? Will automation undermine the benefits of reshoring for American workers?

Outsourcing jobs to China and other countries used to be the most affordable option for many manufacturing companies. But changes to the global economy have caused changes that make it not only affordable, but even advantageous for U.S. Manufacturers to bring jobs home. Harry Moser is a veteran of the manufacturing industry and upon retirement he took the initiative to being an organization focused on doing exactly that. Find out more about The Reshoring Initiative and what it’s doing to promote the return of jobs to the U.S., on this episode of Making Chips.   It’s cheaper to send jobs overseas… or is it?   That used to be the wisdom of the day, but the rise in wages in China and other places has caused the advantages of offshoring jobs to diminish year after year until we’re at a place where it’s actually better to keep jobs onshore in the U.S. Harry Moser and the Reshoring Initiative have developed many great studies that show the effects of offshoring VS reshoring and are convinced that the benefits of bringing jobs home to the U.S. far outweigh the once-existing perks of sending jobs offshore. Find out how Harry’s organization is helping educate the manufacturing industry, and how you can use their free tools to determine why it might be time for your company to bring jobs home.   How can you know if it’s smarter to bring your manufacturing jobs back home?   There are so many variables in figuring out your costs for offshoring or keeping jobs in the U.S. it can be very confusing. But Harry Moser and The Reshoring Initiative are working hard to simplify the evaluation. One of the ways they’re doing that is by providing free online tools to estimate what they call “Total Cost of Ownership,” which can help you gauge the overall, true costs of bringing outsourced jobs back to the U.S. It takes into account all the variables you might encounter to provide a great overall picture of both options for comparison. Find out how to access the Total Cost of Ownership Estimator in this episode of Making Chips.   Why are many companies bringing jobs back home to the U.S.?   There are likely as many reasons as there are companies, but one of the main reasons is that companies are learning from their mistakes. Years of outsourcing manufacturing jobs has shown us the true costs of sending jobs overseas, and in many cases the advantages were not as beneficial as we once thought. Smart CEOs and owners are reassessing the choices of the past with an eye toward cutting costs through bringing jobs back to the U.S. Find out if you’ve made some of those same mistakes and how you can move toward cutting costs in your business, on this episode of Making Chips.   Webinars about reshoring manufacturing jobs   The Reshoring Initiative is doing many things to educate manufacturing leaders about the benefits of bringing jobs home, benefits that didn’t exist even 10 years ago. Harry Moser covers many of the programs and offerings the Reshoring Initiative offers in this episode of Making Chips. One of those resources we’d like to highlight are the many webinars they’ve held to make the case for reshoring. You can find those webinars on the Reshoring Initiative website ( http://www.reshorenow.org/webinars/ ) and find out more about the purpouse and goals of the Reshoring Initiative on this episode of Making Chips. Outline of this episode   Welcome to the podcast - from Jason and Jim. Updates from Jason about his trip to Korea - he visited a manufacturing company there (YG1). Jim’s new marketing plan for Carr Machine and Tool and the revamp of the company web site. Making Chips goes on the road - the grand opening of a new, innovative hardware store in San Diego, California - July 21st, 4 to 6 PM. See the invite below to meet Jim and Jason if you’re in the area. Jim’s introduction of today’s guest: Harry Moser, President of “The Reshoring Initiative.” What sparked Harry starting The Reshoring Initiative - practically and emotionally. How does a manufacturer take advantage of the opportunity to “reshore” their manufacturing? How manufacturers are able to use the Total Cost of Ownership Estimator. Why it’s now possible for U.S. manufacturers to bring jobs back home (what’s happening in China - the main place jobs have been outsourced). Are wages less of a factor in our day, in the U.S. and in China? What is localization, and why does it matter for U.S. manufacturers? How companies have learned from their mistakes when it comes to the decision to outsource manufacturing offshore or to keep it onshore. How do manufacturers identify the most important factors relating to whether they should bring their manufacturing back onshore? How wastes are made worse through offshoring manufacturing jobs. Harry’s conversation with President Obama and what he encouraged the White House to do to bring jobs back to the U.S. How to find out more about the Reshoring Initiative and how you can use their free resources to estimate your costs of reshoring outsourced jobs.   Links mentioned on this episode   http://www.MakingChips.com/18 - The episode that covers the new innovative hardware store.   http://www.OnlineMetals.com (sponsor for this episode)   The Reshoring Initiative - http://www.reshorenow.org/   Free Online Total Cost of Ownership Estimator - http://www.reshorenow.org/tco-estimator/   Contact Harry at info@reshore.org   www.MakingChips.com/contact   Or call us at 312-725-0245   Making Chips on the road - Tuesday, July 21st, 4 to 6 PM - 10211 Pacific Mesa Blvd, San Diego - come in and say “If you’re not making chips, you’re not making money.” and get a free T-shirt!   Tweets you can use to tell others about the episode   #Reshoring manufacturing jobs is now affordable.
