Problem:
You are a manager of a firm that produces widgets for both the Federal Government and open market third party vendors. Last week you and your board of directors were introduced to outsourcing your warehousing operations that would bring a substantial savings to the company. Now, it is very apparent that the company will save dollars by not having to staff the warehouse but, what other areas are effected by this outsourcing venture? How is IT affected? What is some of the fallout that will occur, both short and long term, of this venture?
How would you handle issues that surface because of outsourcing?
