Balancing Off-Shore Risks vs Rewards • Lower operational cost structure • Lack of scale • Supply chain infrastructure • Quality controls Off-Shore Rewards Off-Shore Risks *China's low labor costs are no substitute for diligent supply chain management, Andrew MaclellanEBN
Factors Influencing Off-Shore Direction • Increasing case volumes • Increasing case complexities • Improved customer support initiatives • Improved case resolution times • Flat operational budget $ constraints • Shrinking Americas talent pool
America’s Shrinking Engineering Talent Pool US Graduate Talent Pool YR02 Engineering Talent Pool • Bachelor degrees in engineering in 2001 were 65,195, down from 71,386 in 1988, an 8.6 percent drop* • For the same time period, electrical engineering degrees declined 47 percent, from 24,367 to 12,929 • In the US, more students are getting degrees in “parks and recreation” than in electrical engineering. ** • Europe graduates three times as many engineering students as the US, Asia five times as many. • Less than two percent of U.S. high school graduates will earn an engineering degree * Southern Methodist University *American Association of Engineering Societies ** Wall Street Journal
Key Outsourcing Considerations • Leadership in Key Disciplines • Quality of Operations • Skills and breadth of available talent pool • Operational effectiveness • Efficiency of Operations • Cost effectiveness • Scalability • Flexibility • Global Footprint
