The
history of outsourcing is a chequered one, yet the make or buy decision
is probably the most critical decision that most companies will make on
their supply chains. In the light of this, are procurement skills well
developed enough, and is the Procurement Team well enough involved to
make a difference?
Traditionally the following reasons are most often cited to outsource
activities:
•
Access additional competitive leverage
•
Reduction of internal headcount/cost
•
Access to skills
•
Low cost access to technology
•
Force through slow moving change
Are these the right reasons, and is
cost actually the primary driver used by many businesses to outsource?
Hear from leading experts in the
purchasing of outsource services about the do’s and don’ts of outsource
strategy!
“If you deprive
yourself of outsourcing and your competitors do not, you're putting
yourself out of business.”
