Jeremy,

I agree… However innovation is only part of the answer. Ideas are easily adapted elsewhere or copied. Because of the varied conditions in other countries that Mr. Slane point out; manipulated currency, government in manufacturing facility elsewhere, we are at a disadvantage. We’ll have wins and successes, but fewer than we need.

This is a smart blog. I mean it. You have so much knowledge about this issue, and so much passion. You also know how to make people rally behind it, obviously from the responses. Youve got a design here thats not too flashy, but makes a statement as big as what youre saying. Great job, indeed.

We absolutely NEED to keep and create manufacturing jobs in America. I recently met with the CEO of Mity Lite. I was amazed at the process he devised for keeping jobs in the US and specifically here in Utah. What was his plan? It was actually quite simple, he went to his manufacturing team and asked them to find a way to manufacture chairs cheaper in Utah than they could be imported from China. And, they figured it out! Americans are smart and innovative. We just need to be less apathetic! A service economy is not sustainable. We need to manufacture goods and we need to export them around the world. We need innovators who find ways to keep manufacturing jobs here in the US to share their success stories with each other and we need consumers who care.

Dan Slane does an amazing job of taking a complex global competitive challenge and explaining the root causes in a way that should stimulate practical action. His insight into China’s long-term economic strategy should raise broad based concern over America’s ability to sustain global leadership in innovation. In addition to the multiplier effect Dan describes, I believe manufacturing is a key enabler of innovation and invention. One of the best ways to stimulate knowledge creation is by making things and observing first-hand the opportunities for process and product improvement. The question for America is not – “Should our nation pursue a manufacturing OR knowledge economy?”. Without manufacturing, America cannot realistically expect to create a sustainable knowledge economy. The question should be reframed to – “How does our nation create a manufacturing AND knowledge economy?”. As Dan points out, China has rapidly shifted from low technology manufacturing to high technology. In part, because their understanding of manufacturing methods and processes has helped China become more innovative and inventive. When companies in China run into manufacturing problems, they are not dependent on America’s knowledge to solve them, they are innovating their own solutions. Over time, China’s innovative and inventive capability will strengthen. Outsourcing manufacturing to China has provided China the means to successfully challenge America’s global leadership in innovation and knowledge creation. After listening to Dan’s lecture, I raised the need to reframe the discussion in a blog post (http://strengtheningbrandamerica.com/blog/?p=417). The reader comments are illuminating. Dan Slane has rung the alarm bells. It is time for America to hear them and respond. It is time for our nation to understand that to create a sustainable knowledge economy, we must maintain a strong domestic manufacturing industry.

Technology Working Group of the automotive and manufacturing sector will attract the best engineering talent, a good look, considering the objective will possibly supply overall better engineering in the automotive industry, but how will this effect the 14 car manufactures across the United States?
