- laverya 6y agoThe Boeing paper linked to within the post [0] is also pretty interesting, on the financial and organizational impacts of outsourcing at McDonnel-Douglas and later Boeing. If you need a TL;DR, go to page 14 and look at the recommendations. If you still need a TL;DR, IMO "Identify the minimum amount of production work that must be retained in-house to generate sufficient cash to develop future products. Do not let the tasks performed in-house fall below this level even if some tasks have a higher profit margin than others." would be it. 0: https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.documentcloud.org/documents/69746/hart-smith-on-outsourcing.pdf https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.documentcloud.org/documents/6974...
