Workshop:
Strategic Outsourcing
The decision to outsource is a strategic one and must be well planned and executed. Many OEM’s are moving in this direction in order to create more organizational focus on product and market strategies, to create a more variable cost structure, and to reduce their asset base.
Outsourcing is a powerful approach to build and deliver products of higher quality, faster, cheaper, and with far fewer capital assets. If not planned and executed carefully, outsourcing can be a disaster e.g., late deliveries, poor quality, unhappy customers, missed sales, high inventories, etc.
