Precise planning of insourcing and outsourcing
When making make-or-buy decisions (insourcing or outsourcing), you need to carefully weigh up costs, quality, flexibility and strategic orientation - for example, when deciding whether to provide the necessary warehouse capacity yourself or rent it for a fee. The long-term organizational and financial consequences of these decisions can only be reliably assessed if they are made on the basis of the most complete information possible.
Our solution to this complex challenge is a structured approach in which we combine in-depth industry knowledge with the results of a comprehensive analysis. Through strategic planning, we support you in finding the optimum balance between insourcing and outsourcing. We take into account short-term cost savings as well as ensuring the long-term competitiveness and agility of your company
This is how we do it
1. Demand analysis
We start with a detailed analysis of your current and future requirements for products or services. To this end, we identify and evaluate the core competences of your company and the strategic importance of the various activities and processes.
2. Cost-benefit analysis
A comprehensive cost-benefit analysis enables us to shed light on the financial aspects of make-or-buy decisions. Direct costs are recorded as well as indirect factors such as flexibility, risk and quality.
3. Risk analysis
Risk analysis is a crucial step in identifying and evaluating potential risks when deciding whether to insource or outsource. These include, for example, supply chain risks, quality risks and dependence on external providers.
4. Strategy development
Based on the data collected, we develop a customized strategy for your company. This takes into account both short-term goals and the long-term vision and strategic direction of your company.
5. Support with implementation
We support you not only in planning, but also in implementing the make-or-buy decision, i.e. the selection of suppliers or partners, the negotiation of contracts and the integration of new processes into your existing workflows.
6. Performance measurement and customization
After implementation, we support you in measuring success and adapting the strategy to ensure that the decision brings the desired benefits and can be flexibly adapted to changes.
