Rule #15: "Consider all labor and output constrained machinery equity often bring hidden variable costs and liabilities. Thus it is generally best practice to exchange in-house production stability with purchased supply/service chains to externalize risk." If you have to ask this question, than your survival as a company should avoid naively competing with established contract manufacturers. Startup probability of success is 1:22, and ratio of product to service company survival rate is 1:6. That means even if you are an expert and do everything right, the chances of survival of half a business cycle is 1:132... The investors are already acutely aware of these numbers if they are competent. Best regards =)
