From the NIST Manufacturing Innovation Blog, author by Nathan Ginty explores the growing trend of reshoring in U.S. manufacturing and its implications for smaller manufacturers. The post introduces key insights from NIST’s new white paper, “How U.S. Manufacturers Can Take Advantage of Reshoring,” which covers five crucial areas:
- Making the decision to reshore
- Finding domestic suppliers
- Filling gaps in the supply chain
- Building value-driven relationships
- Becoming a supplier of choice
The blog highlights how reshoring presents unique opportunities for small and medium-sized manufacturers to become key players in rebuilding domestic supply chains. It emphasizes the importance of careful consideration in decision-making, finding reliable domestic suppliers, addressing supply chain gaps, fostering stronger partnerships, and positioning oneself as a preferred supplier.
For a comprehensive exploration of these strategies and practical insights on capitalizing on reshoring opportunities, readers are encouraged to download the full white paper from the NIST website.
