How Reshoring Strengthens Your Supply Chain

Reshoring manufacturing can enhance supply chains and improve operations for domestic manufacturers. By reducing time and distance to market, U.S. manufacturers improve product quality and reliability of services, increasing competitiveness in an ever-changing global business environment. This blog will discuss the benefits of reshoring and how it can strengthen your supply chain.

What is Reshoring?

Reshoring is the process of bringing any number of manufacturing functions back to a company’s country of origin. It is the reverse of “offshoring,” in which manufacturers relocate facilities overseas in an effort to reduce production and labor costs. While outsourcing in this way once held certain economic benefits, it can lead to quality control issues, business disruptions, and less oversight in business operations.

The Supply Chain Benefits of North American Manufacturing

While offshoring production can expose companies to geopolitical risks, tariffs, and complex regulations, reshoring helps to mitigate these risks and the disruptions that might follow. This opportunity to simplify supply chains also comes with a number of advantages, such as:

• Shorter turnaround and lead times
• Adaptability to shifts in market demand
• More direct operational oversight
• Improved compliance and quality control
• Fewer supply chain disruptions
• Enhanced brand reputation

When domestic operations run more tightly, businesses can see the road ahead with greater clarity, with daily decisions having a more direct and pronounced effect on operational success.

Reshored manufacturers similarly attain quicker feedback. They see the results of their efforts play out more swiftly in local markets and derive greater effect for less input. Supply chains are also more direct, with fewer moving parts. This allows for faster response times and greater adaptability as market conditions change.
