North America can truly be more competitive than China in manufacturing and according to Manufacturing & Technology News a new nationwide initiative is underway to convince companies that it is worth bringing manufacturing back to the United States.

David McPhail, President and CEO of Memex Automation, was interviewed by Business News Network. McPhail asserts, “Modern manufacturing equipment costs the same (in equivalent currencies) across all manufacturing jurisdictions (North America, Europe, China, India, etc.). Raw materials are priced as commodities in a common currency (usually USD). It is the cost of labor that varies widely between manufacturing zones. The true cost of labor contains all the usual overhead costs that manufacturers are required to pay (taxes, health care costs, insurance, burdens, etc), and is not necessarily limited to what the employee is paid on an hourly basis. These "grey" costs also vary widely between developed and developing manufacturing zones.”

RONA, Return On Net Assets; ROCE, Return On Capital Employed; EVA, Economic Value Added are all excellent corporate metrics, and in the manufacturing world they are always derived from operational OEE - Overall Equipment Effectiveness, is derived from Availability, Performance and Quality of the manufacturing process.

A PLC has no operator interface and cannot be used with just any machine. In contrast, the UMI is specifically designed to connect with ALL machines. Although the UMI collects most data automatically so that operator input is not mandatory, such input is often used to further increase the system’s functionality, an option not easily accomplished without expensive custom services for a PLC.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has become an indispensible tool that allows manufacturers to see information about assets in real-time. Applications built around RFID help report immediate deviations and exceptions to any process. RFID has allowed companies to build authentication and confirmation into previously error-prone processes.

A useful tool and part of effective OEE Profitability is Reliability Quantification Testing (RQT). This general tool for existing and new equipment fabrications helps quantify the actual reliability performance. It should become a mandatory tool used for accepting or commissioning equipment systems critical to your manufacturing processes. To build in reliability of proposed designs, reliability specifications and the level of testing before acceptance must become a part of the original purchase order. RQT establishes the test hours and failure frequency parameters, then generates a point estimate of actual Mean Time Between Failures for the tested system.

An example business case created $5.6 million to profit for a manufacturer producing and selling $100 million per year by a 10% improvement in OEE (Robert C. Hansen, Pages 47-56). The base business case of operating at a 60% OEE is compared to the same company operating at a 66% OEE. Firstly, comparing the reduction of direct labor's impact to operating income - a 21% improvement in EBIT. Secondly, comparing the impact of increased sales to operating income – a 62% improvement to EBIT.
