Explanation:

The situation explained in the question perfectly explains Automation. New technologies and advancements lead to more efficient and advanced procedures and processes, particularly when such procedures and processes  require very little human interaction or assistance. Now if we talk about the manufacturing industry, procedures like CAD (computerized aided design), CAM (computer aided manufacturing) and EDI (electronic data interchange) have pretty much eased and transformed the manufacturing procedures and environments.

Job exportation mostly relates to employment in international corporations usually located in growing and developed countries.

Outsourcing is the contracting out of certain aspects of business to third party specialist organizations who mostly specialize in that particular work domain.

Offshoring is the transfer and reallocation of SBU (strategic business units) from one country to another.
