Post subject: Outsourcing to China In Question
Over the past two decades, a massive shift of manufacturing to China has occurred, especially for high-volume, low-mix electronics products. In recent years, however, a trend away from China has occurred, according to industry watchers and component distributors. Rising energy, transportation, and labor costs; IP (intellectual-property) issues; and counterfeit-IC problems are among the reasons they cite for the shift.
"We've seen a flurry of people jumping on the bandwagon to move from China," says Charlie Barnhart,

, co-founder and managing principal at Charlie Barnhart and Associates LLC, a company that studies outsourcing. "The trend started in 2006 as people started to see that [outsourcing to] Mexico was cheaper than [to] China."
Barnhart also notes that many OEMs are finding that the most efficient locations for outsourcing are near the end markets. "The cheapest and most effective outsourcing is building in the region for the region," he says. "Each region has a low-cost solution—Mexico for the Americas and Eastern Europe for Europe."
For a growing number of OEMs,

, proximity to the end customer has become the overriding concern in outsourcing. "I talk with customers about where they're going to outsource, and the number-one consideration is, 'Where is my customer?'" says Chuck Delph, senior vice president of sales at Avnet Electronics Marketing Americas, a division of Avnet Inc.
Even with the problems of manufacturing in China,

Meanwhile, manufacturing is once again warming up to North America. Companies including GlobalFoundries, Silicon Border,
