(a) in-house reshoring, (b) reshoring for
outsourcing, (c) reshoring for insourcing and (d) outsourced reshoring. Figure 2.2 illustrates
the four reshoring cases. The first case, (a) In-house reshoring, comprises companies relocating
their manufacturing from wholly owned offshored facilities back to wholly owned facilities in
home country. (b) Reshoring for outsourcing include the companies moving their
manufacturing from wholly owned offshored facilities as they let suppliers in the home country
take over the manufacturing. (c) Reshoring for insourcing is the opposite to (b) reshoring for
outsourcing meaning that manufacturing from offshored suppliers are brought back to wholly
owned facilities. Finally, (d) outsourced reshoring is instead the activity when the company
moves back its manufacturing from foreign suppliers to suppliers working in the home country
(Gray et al., 2013).
