Presentation Description

Manufacturing spurred tremendous economic growth in the early days of America's existence. In recent decades, manufacturing has waned, and we have watched the US economy dwindle along with it. Processes like Lean and other rebuilding and improvement techniques must be used so that we grow our manufacturing back to where it could be and thereby strengthen our country. "Re-Manufacture OUR America" is a grassroots campaign and movement to get us back in the forefront of manufacturing leadership.

Slide 25:

Slide 37:

Slide 39:

THE PRESENT … That’s a problem for us- a HUGE problem!

Slide 40:

THE PRESENT … The reasons that we have lost our competitive edge are complex, but several things stand out:

Slide 41:

THE PRESENT … Manufacturing has been de-emphasized in the United States;

Slide 42:

THE PRESENT … Manufacturing is no longer considered desirable or high-level;

Slide 43:

THE PRESENT … We, as American manufacturers, have grown complacent, … unaccustomed to the current competition.

Slide 44:

OUR Future ??? What does the decline in manufacturing mean for the average American?

Slide 45:

OUR Future ??? First, America will become poorer, so be prepared to downgrade your standard of living.

Slide 46:

OUR Future ??? As manufacturers move abroad, the money flow FROM our country will exceed the benefits of cheap imports.

Slide 47:

OUR Future ??? At some point, America’s trade deficit will overwhelm us.

Slide 48:

OUR Future ??? America will not produce enough to pay for the standard of living that we have become used to.
