As the sparing continues between our presidential candidates, we hear about domestic job losses in the manufacturing sector of up to 5 million jobs since the year 2000. We also hear about re-shoring of US companies who are re-establishing manufacturing in the USA. USA Today reported back in April 2016 that leading corporates such as Walmart, Ford and Boeing have brought back manufacturing to the USA, creating jobs. Walmart<\/a> started the re-shoring process back in 2013 where a pledge was made to purchase $250 BILLION of American-made products for its stores by 2023. To date, Walmart has re-shored from China and created 4,838 jobs in the USA. Ford moved its\u2019 manufacturing for F-650 and F-750 trucks from Mexico to Ohio and some from Spain creating about 3200 jobs. Boeing also began their re-shoring plans back in 2014 re-shoring in Missouri, creating about 2700 jobs. Question is what about the SME\u2019s? [small medium size enterprises], who struggle to cope with higher wage rates and rising wages in the USA and cost in doing business?<\/p>\n

Tips on how to keep it Made in USA \u2013 from our point of view:<\/b><\/p>\n

At the end of the day the Made in USA brand represents quality and consumers are willing to pay more for the product. As finished products roll off the production line, there are two scenarios, warehouse the product in-house or outsource it to a reputable 3PL partner such as Westset Logistics. If you decide to keep it in-house you have to invest in racking, machinery such as forklifts, packaging, warehouse management systems (WMS), manpower, perform stock takes, deal with pest control, ensure goods are kept in suitable temperature, have enough loading docks for freight companies to pick up for deliveries, senior operations and warehousing personnel, HR costs\u2026..the list goes on and on.<\/p>\n

The advantage of working with a 3PL like Westset Logistics is endless. The team at Westset Logistics has fine-tuned various warehousing procedures to save you costs in overhead and procedural matters. The infrastructure is all ready to go, and most of all the systems are created to be customer centric. This includes cloud based warehouse management systems so you can track and view all inventory in real time. Track shipments and get out of managing the dreaded annual stock take. If this were a text book for CEOs and CFO\u2019s the top 6 reasons to outsource and work in partnership with a 3PL is:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b>Save Time and Money<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/b>From personnel to computerized systems, there are both soft and hard costs that will be saved, how much depends on the overall value of your product.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b>\u00a0Network Benefits<\/b><\/p>\n

Westset Logistics has a network of other logistics providers such as trucking that you will be able to leverage off better cost options and possibly solutions for special projects.

\n<\/b><\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b>Technology<\/b><\/p>\n
