Outsourcing is the process of transferring manufacturing and related support functions to outside companies, both onshore and offshore. It is fast becoming a pre-requisite for growth by giving companies the ability to farm out their manufacturing to contract manufacturer companies where they lack the economies of scale to compete effectively.

So, what happens when you outsource your manufacturing offshore? It’s not a simple process but when it’s time to explore or improve your offshore manufacturing, it’s vital to get the process right or risk production delays, knowledge gaps and more.
