My experience with cost savings via offload vs process improvements is working for a company that pays lip service to leaning out processes, but offloads work to foreign lands like Russia, Mexico, Morocco, South Africa, Canada, China, Japan, Texas, and Australia in heartbeat to realize a quick, down and dirty, payday. Damn the consequences...massive overtime to cover rework caused by shoddy workmanship and long distance engineering changes is going to be some other manager's problem. The shining star that sells the employees, community, and shareholders down the river has moved on.

My employer also pays lip service to ethics and we have a new Mc-CEO.
