Re-Opening of American Manufacturing

Even as we all work hard to get back to normal operations, the general consensus seems to be that all industries will experience recurring waves of COVID-induced strains and fractures in their supply chains through the end of 2020, if not longer.  Forward thinking predictions of where those strains might manifest, and pre-emptive measures to minimize impact of those breaks can provide your operations with a competitive edge while competitors are still struggling to stabilize their operations.  
 
Pre-emptive actions might include:
 

• Shift from “sole sourcing” to multiple sources, including US manufacturing and small businesses
• Identification of financially unstable suppliers put at risk by the strains of COVID
• Expand ASL to include redundant sources of critical components and assemblies
• Implement Supply Chain policies that prefer US sources and SB’s for a percentage of manufacturing services, thus helping rebuild American manufacturing while reducing unemployment rates.

 
You might also be evaluating options for short term (or long term) outsourcing:
 

• to offset capacity constraints during a period of staffing fluctuations
• of non-core competencies to retain in-house talent for NPD

 
I proudly represent SB’s (including WOSB and VOSB) for US manufacturing services and solutions.  Please contact me to discuss how partnering with local service providers of engineering and manufacturing expertise can help mitigate risk and facilitate your Business Continuity Plan.
