Survey Sez
The looming shortfall of skilled labor in the U.S. will cost manufacturers an average $50 million from their bottom lines.

In the survey of  senior manufacturing executives, with titles of CEO, CIO, Vice President and Plant Manager, ATS asked: Forecasts indicate that during the next five years, approximately 40 percent of your skilled labor force will retire. What do you anticipate the retirement of 40 percent of your skilled labor force will cost your company in these five years?

A majority of those surveyed - approximately two-thirds - say the crisis will cost them, on average, $50 million. Yet 46 percent of the respondents with more than $1 billion in revenue predict their costs will be much deeper - more than $100 million in the next five years. The survey also found that among discrete manufacturers, automotive manufacturers will be impacted the most, followed by ball and roller bearing makers, metal valve manufacturers and engine and transmission manufacturers.

DiamondCluster International's annual study of information technology outsourcing found that the number of buyers satisfied with their "offshoring" providers has fallen from 79 percent to 62 percent.
