Made in America Lean

After a decades-long rush to off-shore seemingly every possible business function, Made In America is a growing and increasingly visible counter-movement aiming to create competitive advantage by returning core business operations to the US.

Made In America is rapidly becoming more than just a 6 o’clock news phenomenon or an emotional longing for the ‘good ol’ days’ of American manufacturing dominance.  It is a movement at the confluence of several trends – among them the demonstrated cost benefits of Lean production, rising overseas wages and concern over increasingly complex and fragile international supply chains.

Delivering real and demonstrable cost, quality and productivity advantages is at the root of a successful ‘on-shoring’ effort.  With extensive hands-on experience in Lean Continuous Improvement transformation in retail, manufacturing, service and fulfillment support, BusinessSmith can guide your enterprise to true Made In America excellence.
