Cupertino, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/16/2013 -- Narayan Laksham, President of Ultriva, Inc. was the featured guest on the Manufacturing Revival Radio last week. Ultriva (http://www.ultriva.com), based in Cupertino, California, empowers leading industrial, automotive, healthcare, aerospace, and defense businesses to operate more effectively and collaboratively by providing real time visibility and targeted actionable intelligence into inventory and material flows.

Laksham explained why America is a well-suited for manufacturing, “I came into the manufacturing world from a technology perspective. After visiting over 200 companies worldwide I really found manufacturing left America for the wrong reason. I found companies were leaving the country to reduce the cost of labor. The problem is manufacturing is seen as ‘cost center’ instead of ‘value center’. When manufacturing is seen from a ‘value center’ or from an output perspective, then the savings is in reduction of inventory costs, optimization of inventory, and the reduction of lead times. We have a strong investment banking system in the country with Wall Street. This is why America is well-suited for manufacturing”
