| Abstract: | In the harsh business environment of the 1990s, many companies find their margins continuously under pressure. One critical factor in maintaining competitiveness is careful management of make-or-buy decisions. It may seem self-evident that this can be achieved by energetic application of lowest-price competitive tendering among multiple suppliers. However, it is far from self-evident and furthermore it can be inconsistent with modern manufacturing practices such as just-in-time delivery. |
