Webinar: How and Where to Find the Most Competitive Manufacturing Locations in the US and Mexico
Regionalization of value chains means servicing customers per region of the world with competitive manufacturing plants. Required: cost effective production with smart manufacturing technologies in locations in North America which combine cost effectiveness, high quality of the business environment (a.o. talent base) and low risks.
BCI Global would like to invite you to two complimentary on-line sessions focused on practical approaches to manufacturing footprint optimization and evaluating new production locations in North America. The sessions combine market insights, decision-making frameworks and examples from recent international projects.
Topics covered include:
- How to make the right location decision for our new (production/distribution) operations in North America in an objective and data driven process taking all cost factors (such as labor costs; real estate costs; inbound and outbound distribution costs; taxes), quality of the business environment factors (e.g. availability of labor; labor regulations; proximity of suppliers; accessibility) and risk factors into account?
- How to assess labor markets on a metro/city level considering availability, skills levels and costs?
- How to trade off investing in automation (e.g. in current US site) versus relocating to a lower labor cost location (alternative in the US or Mexico)?
- What are the most important trends in location factors in the US (and Mexico and Central America) for production plants? What about current and expected energy costs, tax rates and also logistics and safety levels?
- Opportunities and pitfalls regarding economic incentives when setting up a new plant in the US?
