Here is the excerpt from the October Issue of CIO review:
The global manufacturing industry is witnessing a state of notable flux. After years of being a damper in economic growth, manufacturing is now seen as the reviving potion to the adverse residues left behind by the financial services sector. While manufacturing in advanced economies, succumbed to outsourcing a few years ago, the manufacturing activity in the U.S. is poised for a comeback. The manufacturing shift to the east is fast getting retraced, as production units are now preferred closer to the home country rather than an offshore location. Manufacturers in the west have moved up the value chain to concentrate on more technically advanced industries or products and in the process have also become leaner. In the second quarter of 2014 manufacturing productivity in the U.S. increased by 3.3 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (U.S.).
Innovative manufacturing, whether it is investment in research and development, improving back office or sales and marketing operations is seen as the key factor driving global competitiveness in manufacturing companies. It has dawned on several countries that competitive manufacturing is the nucleus of an economy because of the vital role it plays in the country’s long-term prosperity. It creates skilled jobs generates revenues in the form of exports and investments. It also plays a pivotal role in terms of its contribution to the physical infrastructure of an economy.
The global competitive landscape for manufacturing will eventually restructure the drivers of economic development; pave a way for high value job creation, innovation, and sustainable growth.
