cape: Consider the competitive landscape.

If competitors are successfully


outsourcing similar products, it might be an indication that outsourcing is a
viable option.
Technology and Innovation:
Material and Machinery Arrangement:

Objective: The goal is to organize materials and machinery in a way that minimizes
the need for explicit orders or instructions.
Simplified Operations:

Objective: The operations are designed to be straightforward and efficient, aiming


to reduce complexity and avoid unnecessary orders.
Inventory Management:

Inventory Management:

Finished Inventory: Finished products are in transit, suggesting a just-in-time


approach where goods are produced as needed and shipped immediately.
Raw Material Inventory: Similar to finished products, raw materials are also in
transit, indicating a focus on minimizing on-site inventory.
Production Cycle:

Timeframe: The production cycle from mining raw materials to creating the final
product (in this case, an automobile) takes approximately eighty-one hours.
Efficiency: This short production cycle implies a quick and efficient manufacturing
process, which aligns with the just-in-time approach.nt:

Technological Requirements: Assess whether the production process requires
specialized technology or skills. In some cases, outsourcing may provide access to
advanced technologies.
Innovation: Consider whether outsourcing might limit the company's ability to
innovate in the long term. In-house production may offer more control over the
innovation process.
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO):

Comprehensive Analysis: Calculate the total cost of ownership for both options,
taking into account not only direct costs but also indirect costs, such as quality
control, transportation, and communication.
Strategic Alignment:

Strategic Objectives: Ensure that the chosen option aligns with the company's
overall strategic objectives and goals.
