BUY WITH CONFIDENCE
DESCRIPTION
As organizations are being put under increasing pressure to cut expenses and improve return on assets, the dilemma of whether to keep key functions in-house or outsource them has taken center stage.
Manufacturing units are being identified with Make-or-Buy Decisions as third-party suppliers in Eastern Europe, China, Southeast Asia, and other low-cost regions hold out a promise of significant advantage that companies in developed countries can't offer.
The Make-or-Buy Decision extends beyond manufacturing. It encompasses human resources, information technology, maintenance, and other fundamental business functions. Chief Procurement Officers (CPO) are now expected to play a key role in helping business units make decisions given the skills and objective perspective the teams bring to the effort. While the choice to keep an activity in-house or outsourced may be cross-functional and strategic, it is the role of the CPO to make outsourcing decisions work.
This presentation thoroughly discusses the dynamics of Make-or-Buy Decisions and the framework to guide companies make the right decisions. The framework is built on 3 key pillars.
1. Strategy
2. Risks
3. Economics
The Make-or-Buy Decision should not be made without careful analysis. The analysis should be conducted in the most diligent and objective manner.
This deck also includes slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
