Siemens CEO calls for more domestic manufacturing
There's yet more proof going around that production on our shores is not just what workers want, but what the bosses running major companies want as well.
This evidence comes in the form of an editorial by the CEO of Siemens USA, Eric Spiegel. Like others, Spiegel argues that there's a chance for local manufacturing to jump in recent years with the help of some distinct factors in America's favor that are genuinely appealing to some high-level industries.
"Thanks to low energy prices, rising labor rates in emerging countries, the productivity of the American worker, and American expertise in software development, many companies have already made the decision to bring their manufacturing back to the U.S." Spiegel writes. "In fact, over $90 billion in new manufacturing investments are being planned for the next few years, including energy-intensive industries like chemicals, steel, and aluminum."
He concludes by saying that America is "uniquely positioned" to develop its manufacturing abilities in a way that could lead to greater economic growth on a grand scale. But how can your business take advantage of this so-called position that it's in, really?
It's possible that an extensive and detailed use of manufacturing business software can help your company make this a reality, no matter what its size.
While some options out there, like automated 3D printing systems, are gearing themselves as being accessible to the person with no knowledge of manufacturing, you might require a solution that matches up with the level of professionalism you consider your business to match.
