Cost structure for the Make-or-Buy Decision

A decision for relocation or external production is a managerial decision, based on cost criteria. It will not be sufficient to only make a cost calculation.

There are risk factors, which need to be considered, i.e.:
  • Socially acceptable personnel reductions
  • Underestimation of relocation expenses and possibly loss of know-how
  • Start-up problems caused by incompatible tooling or software, resulting in qualtity and consequential error costs
