experience, having worked for DISAMATIC for 7 years. Moser is nationally and internationally quoted in publications and interviewed on TV and radio programs. Harry and the Reshoring Initiative focus primarily on
H
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 served on the boards of NIMS (National Institute for Metalworking Skills) and MSSC (Manufacturing Skill Standards Council), leading manufacturing credentialing organizations. For more than a decade, Harry has been delivering keynote talks, seminars and webinars to top organizations worldwide.
In this keynote, Harry will illustrate how the
COVID-19 pandemic provided a supply chain wake-up call for reshoring. It is now clear: shorter supply chains are stronger, more
competitive supply chains. Repeated surveys show a high percentage of OEMs are localizing: producing and sourcing more in the market. Rising offshore wages and recognition of total cost drove reshoring from 6,000 jobs/year in 2010 to 190,000 in 2017. In 2021 the momentum is surging again with Trump China tariffs, dramatically higher freight costs, and COVID-19 revealing deadly shortages of products due to over- dependence on imports. Tools will be presented to help you benefit from these
changes. Tools to make better sourcing decisions and to convince your customers to buy from you instead of offshore. Tools that show that, of products now sourced offshore, 20- 30% would be more profitably sourced domestically. Harry will present a second session on “How to Get
Started with TCO for Sourcing and Selling.” TCO is the key tool to objectively compare alternative sources to determine
arry Moser founded the Reshoring Initiative in 2010 to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. Harry earlier ran machine tool companies and had foundry
which items can be most profitably sourced domestically and which offshore. The session will include • How to identify the products most eligible to reshore • How to use the free online TCO Estimator • Avoiding silos: considering the impact on other departments and budgets
• Using TCO for selling against imports.
