Homeward Bound? Seizing Manufacturing Onshoring Opportunities. Part 3
This is the third of three blogs which develops and extends my recent Birmingham Post column on 'onshoring' opportunities in manufacturing which can be found here.
Earlier blogs on this theme can be found here and here.
One of the more interesting efforts at relocalising auto component sourcing is the work by the Automotive Council (the joint industry-Government partnership) to map the supply chain's relative competitiveness and to identify opportunities where capabilities can be retained and built upon, looking at manufacturers' sourcing 'wish lists', and where suppliers envisage growth.
Its 2011 report identified over £1 billion worth of potential contracts which auto manufacturers would like to place in the UK. Building on such trends, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) has tried to bring together assemblers and suppliers to see how they can be 'matched up'.
The Council recently released a 2012 update which identified some £3 billion of new purchasing opportunities for the UK based supply chain
Make no mistake, there is a window of opportunity here. As the Automotive Council found, the main reason why auto assemblers purchase in the UK is proximity (including lower logistics cost, the configuration of parts, and the support of UK-built vehicles). But quite what components suppliers consider as their competitive advantage, and whether that matches what assemblers think, is less clear.
More broadly, the work of the Council can be seen as a good example of how industrial policy can help firms and government together learning about underlying costs and opportunities and engaging in strategic coordination.
Such activities could usefully be extended, both in the auto case and to other industries (think of the Marine Industries Leadership Council, the Industrial Biotechnology Leadership Forum or the Aerospace Business Leaders group), with such groups helping to identify key fractures in industry supply chains and how to address them. This is no longer about industrial policy 'picking winners' but helping the private sector identify weaknesses and then addressing them.
Overall, the automotive sector offers a good example of what can be done, up to a point. Take the case of Jaguar Land Rover setting up a new engine plant in the West Midlands (itself a 'win' - the investment could have gone overseas). While the plant itself will create up to 750 jobs directly, critical will be maximising the benefits for the supply chain and the wider economy.
The new plant will require components from the auto components industry, creating new jobs in the supply chain. Suppliers with expertise in areas such as gears and engine controls, right through to specialists in castings, valve systems and fluid transmission could benefit.
While some media reports have whipped up hopes of 4000 jobs overall at JLR and in the wider economy, the reality is likely to be a smaller but still welcome figure of around 1500-2000 jobs. Of course that figure will depend on how much JLR will source locally, and on that JLR has simply said - realistically - that 'hundreds' of jobs are likely to be generated in the wider economy.
The Manufacturing Advisory Service (MAS) is already trying to raise awareness in component manufacturers so that they are in a position to bid for new orders. But even if successful they then need access to finance to gear up to produce (especially when the hard cash may take some time to appear) and access to skilled workers.
Critically, access to finance remains a major issue for some firms in some parts of the auto supply chain and, no doubt, in other manufacturing sectors. The Smith Institute and the SMMT recently highlighted a 'window of opportunity' to create thousands of new jobs in the auto supply sector but that access to finance remained a real problem which was effectively thwarting the realisation of such potential (see here).
Drawing on a survey of firms operating at different levels in the UK auto supply chain, the report found some 60% of firms were aspiring to grow in the future, one third so rapidly. But they faced significant financial challenges, including: relationships with the banks; a gap in growth finance (many have to fund investment through internal cashflow); problems in funding tooling development costs; payment and finance across the supply chain; and the nature of SME owner mangers. The report argues that, on the whole, banks have a poor understanding of the sector.
In tackling such issues, the report calls for a 'step change' in the engagement of the UK financial sector with the automotive industry, a bringing together and streamlining of financial initiatives by the government, a new taskforce to look at finance for tooling up, a move towards more long-term policy arrangements to make sure finance is available, and for owner managers to better assess the range of financial support available, with outside help where needed. The tooling issue seems especially pertinent from my own discussions with industry players.
More generally, the UK could learn from policy initiatives in the US where the government has been active in encouraging US-based firms to relocate some activities back to the US.
Earlier this year President Obama created tax incentives that for example offered a 20% income tax credit to allow for the expenses of shifting operations back to the US. The US government has also funded a 'Reshoring Initiative' (see here), including an online costs calculator, based on the premise that manufacturers able to calculate costs more fully are more likely to outsource to domestic firms rather than overseas.
Possibilities for repatriation of manufacturing to the UK and Europe may be more limited, as the Boston Consulting Group has concluded (see here) in part because the wage cost differential (adjusted for productivity) between Europe and China may not be close enough create a 'tipping point' in some sectors as in the US (see here). But this still raises the issue of what policy can do to push the process along as far as possible.
That's not going to be easy, and means recognising that smaller firms often followed larger firms in offshoring production as they wanted to be near their customers. So attracting them back means relocating not just individual firms but whole segments of the supply chain, and means support for smaller firms especially which face high costs when moving operations.
While we have seen some welcome moves by the government in encouraging the process, these have been small scale and often don't reach smaller firms in particular. A much more concerted effort is needed as part of a wider industrial policy that looks to build manufacturing capacity.
That means one that backs investment in new technologies (for example through better capital allowances), that provides accessible finance for small and medium sized firms, that backs high growth firms and exporters, that encourages manufacturers to increase output and employment through tax breaks, and which supports better skills formation.
Overall, there appears to be a real opportunity to rebuild some of the UK's fractured manufacturing supply chains given recent shifts in exchange rates, transport costs, rising wages overseas and heightened concerns over supply chain resilience. But the key message is that this is not going to happen on a significant scale without a major policy effort, as has been recognised in the US.

"Take the case of Jaguar Land Rover setting up a new engine plant in the West Midlands."
Ah yes, the now infamous virtual-reality engine plant, making virtual-reality world-beating engines, with 750 new, virtual-reality jobs. As long as the pay's not virtual reality, heh?!
Let's recap. JLR first expressed an interest in building an engine plant on the 'i54' site, adjacent to junction two of the M54, way back in April 2011. In September of 2011, almost a full year ago, they formally announced a plan to build a new engine plant at i54 for, quote, 'a brand new family of fuel-efficient four cylinder petrol and diesel engines'. Contrary to the impression given by professor Bailey and JLR's hyperactive press office, as of the time of writing, late August, 2012, nothing has actually happened at 'i54'. There was talk in the press back in June of commencement of site preparation by contractors and selection of the factory builder by JLR. Since then, however, nothing.
The truth is a) the new engine plant, the 'i54', is either postponed, possibly indefinitely, taking it to at least 2014 for opening, after the initial press announcement of an in-operation date of 2013, or b) there never was a new engine plant, just a cynical, deceitful announcement by JLR to win brownie points in the media and the car-buying public's mind, which everyone would quickly forget about when it didn't happen.
The reason it could well be postponed, possibly indefinitely, is that the "new" engine family supposedly to be built at i54 is now exposed as nothing more than an existing engine, bought in from Ford, Ford's EcoBoost 2-litre, 4 cylinder direct-injection, turbocharged petrol engine(as already seen in the petrol Range Rover Evoque and Ford Focus ST), with a Jaguar/Land Rover badge put on the engine cover. This engine is currently made in Ford's engine plant in Valencia Spain.
Jaguar(JLR) has recently announced its "new" engines for its 2013 model year Jaguar XF and XJ models. The new 'I4' 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol has exactly the same output figures as the Ford-supplied EcoBoost engine in the Range Rover Evoque. The 'new' Jaguar 'I4' engine is clearly the Ford EcoBoost engine. The other new engine announced by Jaguar is the 3.0-litre V6 supercharged petrol engine. Again, it is clear that this is merely a chopped down version of the existing Jaguar 'AJ133-V8' petrol engine; it is not a new engine, and will almost certainly be made on the same line as the V8 version, as it shares a common block and crankshaft, in Ford's Bridgend Wales engine plant. JLR's diesel engines come from Ford too, Ford's Dagenham engine plant. The 2.2-litre 4-cylinder diesel and V6/V8 diesels are Ford/PSA designs. There is no new Ford diesel engine design on the horizon, for capacities greater than two litres, never mind from JLR. There is no 'new' JLR 4-cylinder diesel engine family.
So we know there is no 'new' engine or engine family waiting to be built at the new i54 engine plant. Both 'new' petrol engines exist essentially already, and are made in Ford engine plants; one in Spain, one in Wales. Why would JLR take the assembly of the 'i4'(EcoBoost) engine from Spain to i54? The Ford Valencia engine plant makes the 2.0-litre EcoBoost engine for Ford worldwide, and hence is large-volume and extremely efficient. JLR's volumes at a future i54 engine plant couldn't compete and would have higher unit overhead cost. Plus the pound has appreciated against the euro by 15% making the Valencia-supplied 'i4' engine cheaper, compared to the virtual-reality i54 plant.
I object to professor Bailey and others constantly using this JLR new engine plant story to hype the renaissance of localised manufacturing and knock-on positive effects for the supply chain, when it is clear it's a masquerade. It was clear, to me, from day one of the announcement, back in September 2011, that this had more fish than a Spanish trawler, and it really should have behoved an intelligent, disinterested observer, which is what professor Bailey ought to be, to dissect and see through the hype and the charade, rather than act as one of its parroting cheerleaders.
The odd thing is, foreign-owned JLR always figure prominently in these blogs, when it comes to the supposed success of local manufacturing, and the announcement of big new projects, creating many new jobs, like the 'i54' in particular, but there's another vehicle maker in the region that gets by comparison next to no coverage or positive spinning, and yet its deeds outweigh the torrent of hype for JLR; I'm talking about MG at SAIC-owned Longbridge.
In pretty much the same time frame that JLR were supposed to have done the i54 engine plant, eighteen months, SAIC, Shanghai Automotive, the owners of Longbridge-based MG Motor UK, have entered into cooperation with General Motors Europe for the supply of a genuinely brand new engine family, from a brand new engine plant, currently being final-commissioned in Szentgotthard Hungary, which from early next year will supply the new MG3 model, to be assembled at Longbridge; a real, actual event not eyewash, like so much of JLR's announcements. So can we please drop the re-re announcements of fictitious events and perhaps give some effort to elsewhere, more deserving cases where something has actually happened. Just a thought.
Automotive Council - reinvention of the wheel, par excellence. And of course lots of unproductive, unrequired, taxpayer-funded posts for the usual suspects.
You make this Supply Chain thing out to be so complicated - I guess that's the whole point of academia. At the lower end you have, and always have had, for the last hundred years plus, the fastenings makers, stampers, platers, bracketry makers and such kind, for which you do not need complicated supply chain management consultants, advising at £500-1,000 per diem, or a multi-million pound taxpayer-funded council of 'the great and good'. A copy of 'Kelly's Directory' for a few bob back in the day or a subscription to 'Kellysearch' today, or suchlike commercial service, for the locating and sourcing of commodity type suppliers, by competitive bid, would be much cheaper, quicker and effective.
At the top end (of an imagined supply chain), in the mentioned automotive supply base, you have 'first tier/tier 1' suppliers or system suppliers, as they are known, the likes of Bosch, ZF and GKN. Again, these suppliers do not need thousand pound a day consultants or bureaucratic organisations like the Automotive Council to know how do their own work.
Some of these 'first tier' supplier companies are larger than the vehicle makers. Bosch, Siemens, Continental, ZF and the like are multi-billion euro turnover companies, with tens of thousands of employees, operating globally. They employ people specifically to manage supply chains, both for their customers and for the upstream supply chain, on behalf of their end customer and of course for their own profit maximisation and for the supply chain's integration and efficiency, both logistically and technologically. This is the reason why 'first tier/system supplier' suppliers came into being in the first place.
Brose is an excellent example of this. A small, regional company in Nowheresville(Coburg) Germany, that was making basic window winder and seat base mechanisms with several hundred employees in the 1960s, has now become a maker and co-located JIT supplier of complete 'door modules' and 'seating modules', employing over 20,000 people globally. Its hugely successful Coventry plant, supplying JLR amongst others, was Brose's first overseas plant. see here: http://www.brose.com/ww/en/pub/company/historie.cfm
A UK/regional West Midlands Automotive Council sitting on top of all this is duplicating, and worse, interfering in established, proven working practices, within the globally extremely successful European automotive components industry. These huge, successful companies have experience of over twenty-five years in supply chain management theory AND practice, from the first days of straight Toyota-aping in the mid-1980s, with Just-in-Time/Kanban etc., through to where they are now, as world-dominant. What possible need could these companies have with yet another, comparative flea-bite UK initiative, attempting to reinvent the wheel and have their senior management learn to suck eggs? The only possible reason could be to just keep the local busy-body bureaucrats sweet, so as to foster good local relations generally, for later planning permissions and so on, and perhaps cynically take some of the millions of pounds being waved in their faces from taxpayer funds; if it's being offered - why not?
The trouble with the UK is that it basically lost its automotive components industry. The collapse of the indigenously-owned UK vehicle manufacturing industry, from the late 1960s through to the early 1980s mainly, meant the likewise decline of the indigenous-owned UK automotive components industry. What was left after the ravages of the 60s, 70s and 80s, was either a shadow of its former self, or became taken over by a foreign-owned company, with its HQ and R&D usually following offshore. GKN, the former Guest, Keen and Nettlefolds, is the exception that proves the rule, within the globalised automotive components industry of giants like Bosch, Denso and Johnson Controls.
What the 'Automotive Council' thinks it can do within the UK's present-day automotive supply chain is naturally carried out in foreign countries with a still sizable, successful, largely indigenously-owned components industry. Japan, and especially Toyota, had/has its famous 'Keiretsu', of directly-owned or associated companies within its supply base, both vertically and horizontally. Korea had/has its similar to the Japanese 'Chaebols'. In Europe the most successful organisation of supply chains has come from Germany. Unlike Japan, and Toyota especially, most of Germany's components companies are independent. Since the apparent success of the 'Toyota model' in the 1980s it is Europe's and Germany's organisation in particular, of large 'first tier/system supplier' companies like Bosch, ZF and Continetal, plus the 'Mittelstand', mainly family-owned SME companies lower down in the supply base that have proven to be more flexible, cost competitive, more adapting of technology and ultimately world-beating, over what was seen as the pre-eminent Japanese model in the 1980s and early 1990s. The 'Baden-Wuerttemberg' (Germany) model of industrial organisation and innovation is well-known and documented within the academic world.
It should be mentioned too that other regions of Europe have been successful in maintaining and growing industry links. The region of Emilia-Romagna in northern Italy is well-known as an exemplar of successful organisation of varying sizes of firms and levels of technology, in what could be described as supply chains or value-adding chains. Again, I'm sure the likes of Ferrari and Lamborghini do not have to rely on a local 'Automotive Council', funded by the Italian taxpayer bureaucrat to know what to do each morning with their supply bases. There's Bavaria, and greater Munich in particular, with BMW and Siemens, and the in the last twenty years gradual re-opening of the old central and eastern Europe former industrial skills and organisation centres, in Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia and Romania. All of this is being initiated by either the vehicle manufacturers, the large first tier suppliers or both. When Mercedes-Benz opens its brand-new, €800m assembly facilty in Kecskemet, Hungary it takes its key first tier/JIT system-supplying suppliers with it, in the figurative sense, if not the literal sense, as a current example.
Lastly, when it comes to industry bodies, there is no comparison between the UK automotive industry's representative body and that of Germany's. The SMMT, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, is anachronistic, and is now just essentially a retail trade representative body, with the emphasis on car dealers, as one would expect where there is such a small indigenously-owned UK vehicle manufacturer and vehicle components sector. Compare the SMMT to the German equivalent, the VDA, the Verband der Automobilindustrie see: http://www.vda.de/de/index.html It does what it says on the tin; it represents the German automotive industry, with the emphasis on German and industry. It's a wide-ranging organisation that truly adds value for its menbers and gets involved in genuine industry-wide issues, like electronic data interchange, between the supply base and vehicle manufacturers. see: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verband_der_Automobilindustrie
"...the UK could learn from policy initiatives in the US where the government has been active in encouraging US-based firms to relocate some activities back to the US."
- really? That'll be news to the millions of ex-manufacturing workers in the U.S. since the 1980s, whose jobs snow reside in China, Mexico,or wherever, but definitely not the U.S..
Successive U.S. administrations going back over thirty years, from Reagan's 'New Dawn in America' to Clinton's US jobs genociding NAFTA , to Obama's continuation, if not worse of the same 'free trade' policies, have served big corporations, to allow and tax-deductible fund their offshoring of US jobs, relatively well-paying manufacturing jobs in particular. A multi-national corporation like Toyota or Nissan 're-shoring' a few thousand jobs to make a few more model-lines in the U.S., to escape the strong yen, tsunamis, Thai floods, and the brainwashing of U.S. consumers to accept the big three Japanese auto makers as quasi-'American', don't count.
Short of de facto slave labour being reintroduced into the U.S. and neo-serfdom in the West more generally, through 'voluntary' unpaid internships, 'Workfare' schemes paying effectively zero wages, and prisoners working for commercial enterprises for less than a dollar an hour, all of which is now happening in the U.S. and beginning in the UK, America will never be able to compete with a developing economy like China, because as soon as the wages of the Chinese are considered to be 'too high' large coporations will and do pull out and move to the next dirt-poor country with a surplus of starving labour, like India, Vietnam, Laos or Indonesia. Adidas, the sportswear maker, has just announced it is doing this, moving manufacture from 'too high wage' China to India. see this: http://www.amcham-shanghai.org/AmchamPortal/MCMS/Presentation/Publication/Insight/InsightDetail.aspx?Guid={BA577DAA-87BF-4E0B-AAC1-97C01E368D62}
If a reader here really wants to see what happened to manufacturing in the U.S. an excellent site is here, showing the decline graphically over the last forty years: http://americawhatwentwrong.org/story/manufacturing-map/
This article here: "22 Stats That Show How The Emerging One World Economy Is Absolutely Killing American Workers" is also an excellent analysis of what has actually happened with jobs being offshored from the U.S. and what it has done to America, just as in the UK likewise, it has impoverished vast swathes of former working and lower-middle classes, making them benefit-dependent, whilst vastly enriching a handful of individuals who have cleaned up with third-world slave labour wages and first world pricing. see here: http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/22-stats-that-show-how-the-emerging-one-world-economy-is-absolutely-killing-american-workers
‘Assembled at Longbridge’; have you been down to have a look, Mr Kelly? There’s a very impressive design studio there with 300 plus people working there but there isn’t really any assembly.
Importing virtually completed cars, dropping a (complete) engine into the car and then connecting it and the electrics and adding the wheels isn’t assembly. It’s warehousing. That’s why the so-called ‘assembly’ operation employs 50 people tops and no components are sourced locally. Not a great example of local manufacturing success for you to be holding up, sir, even though I wish MG and Shanghai Auto well.
