out source is next source

 this is about 
building  washing machines 
for 
the amerikan market

notice the trap door at the terminus 


get this part clear

plants are not just cheaper 
                      to run 
                              in mexico
they're cheaper to build .....

====================== 


  heres a cheery point:

why out source 
when you got 
a plant built already
here in ohio 
 and labor 
in this final production  stage
is such a small part
 of the total  " cost to market "

  " One hour of labor 
goes into each of
   the 20,000 top-loaders
 coming off the line daily at Clyde 
 down from 2.5 hours five years ago.....
We may pay $23 an hour in Clyde
 including benefits,
 versus $3 in Mexico 
versus $1 in China....
But for one hour of labor.....?
 the difference 
won't begin to cover
 the shipping costs
 let alone the investment
 it would take 
to build a new factory
 in Mexico
 or a new factory in China"

--------okay great so this final assembly 
stage stays home here ....---------------

"The Clyde factory
 which employs 2,000 people
 is billed as a jewel 
in Whirlpool's production network
 an efficient
 partly automated operation 
whose experienced workers possess
 a "tribal knowledge" 
    of their product
 that pays off in quality and cost saving"

----- okay blah blah blah ...."but" ----------

" if the Clyde factory 
did not already exist
we would not put it here......
 nope 
 probably  we build  it..... in Mexico
plants cost way less to build 
down there 
    plus  operation is  nearly 
  gub-lab
        hassle free ""
