How U.S. Manufacturers Can Take Advantage of Reshoring — NIST MEP
A practical guide from NIST's Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) for small and medium manufacturers evaluating reshoring: how to build the business case, what belongs in a real Total Cost of Ownership calculation (transport and logistics, transaction costs, depreciation and capital costs, and risk costs), how to use supplier scouting to rebuild domestic supply chains, and how MEP Centers can help with feasibility studies and supplier matchmaking. Citing Kearney's own CEO survey data, the guide notes increased sales, improved total landed cost, and improved fill rates as the top reasons CEOs cite for reshoring or nearshoring their manufacturing footprint.
