Let’s wake up to the new-now: by making UK MANUFACTURING GREAT AGAIN bring it back and keep it in the UK! Having led many award-winning manufacturing high tech businesses I have pushed back on attempts to move them to China for at least 30 years. Why in the UK…<\/p>\n
> to achieve a better supply chain,
\n> lower working capital,
\n> JIT
\n> and better cost performance
\n> co-located design<\/p>\n
all benefits of making here in the UK, even when making “low value-added” products! UK teamwork is the key. It’s great to see the resurgence of manufacturing. I have just started a manufacturer too.<\/p>\n
UK manufacturing increases profit and\u00a0#relationships<\/a><\/p>\n Marginalising people through tech to reduce work, is very bad news. Manufacturing done right creates jobs at all levels. A very important part of doing the RIGHT thing.. Automation is often far more costly and inflexible too. There is a business case to employ people.<\/p>\n Offshoring is part of the old past.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/businesstransformation1_covid-and-brexit-could-see-uk-manufacturers-activity-6736907929615646720-LI_5<\/p>\n #jazzband<\/a>\u00a0#newaction<\/a>\u00a0#ukeconomy<\/a>\u00a0#emergingscenario<\/a>\u00a0#winningthinking<\/a>\u00a0#intimacy<\/a>\u00a0#brexit<\/a>\u00a0#relationships<\/a>\u00a0#eq<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let’s wake up to the new-now: by making UK MANUFACTURING […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15714","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/winningthinking.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15714","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/winningthinking.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/winningthinking.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/winningthinking.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/winningthinking.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15714"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/winningthinking.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15714\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/winningthinking.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15714"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/winningthinking.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15714"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/winningthinking.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15714"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
