Assignment -
We have all seen on the news how outsourcing a component of a product (like airbags for cars produced by other unrelated companies) can impact a business.
- First, identify a product recall that resulted from outsourcing a component of your finished product.
- Next, discuss what controls you would put in place to deter this from happening in the future.
Should the possibility of a recall be taken into consideration when engaging in the make or buy analysis? If so, how would you do it?
Please post a 100-150 word response.
