About the Manufacturing Marshall Plan
The United States and its North American neighbors are battling a global war on the COVID-19 pandemic that has affected every element of the economy. From manufacturing to health care, education to finance, and service to entertainment, there have been no industries that have been left untouched by the coronavirus pandemic. For manufacturing, this abrupt change to the economy has revealed the negative impact of decades of offshoring, the opportunity for new manufacturing innovations, and the need for an industry 4.0-ready workforce.

What people are saying about the Manufacturing Marshall Plan
"The AME Manufacturing Marshall Plan will play a key role in reducing our goods trade deficit by 20 to 30 percent, increasing U.S. manufacturing by 40 percent or five million jobs. This fundamental rebalancing will take 20 years. This plan is the right start. Now is the right time!"
— Harry C. Moser, Founder and President, Reshoring Initiative
"Relative to the lean supply chain, all we are attempting to do is to 'maximize customer value at the lowest possible total cost to the business all while showing respect to people and our communities.' Bringing manufacturing back to North America will help with this goal. This white paper is the perfect vehicle to get this important conversation started. Congratulations to AME’s leadership in directing this dialogue."
