Girish Rishi, CEO of Blue Yonder, writes in Chief Executive Magazine that made in America is required for the United States to recover post-pandemic.
In the article, Rishi says the US has faced crises in the past and managed to come out on top, but it is not guaranteed to happen. He correctly notes that a serious return to domestic manufacturing requires investments in technology and people. Not only do we need to rebuild a world-class workforce, we also must invest in manufacturing technology which enables a more efficient and profitable manufacturing system.
