According to White House blogger Jason Miller, surveys show that more than half of all manufacturers are or are actively considering reshoring production to the United States.



In advanced manufacturing, the manufacturing system is the whole value stream from design, machining, assembly, distribution, logistics, workforce and the whole infrastructure -  Ben Wang, executive director of the Georgia Tech Manufacturing Institute and the Eugene C. Gwaltney Jr. Chair in Manufacturing Systems for the university’s College of Engineering.
