-both operational and strategic level - ANS-Why
-the trade-off may be whether the organization is willing to pay premium price for exceptional
service?
- or is the customer willing to sacrifice some quality on service to save on cost? - ANS-What
Price
-there may be a range of options between 100% make and 100% buy
- may be a useful area for testing and learning without having to make full commitment to make
or buy
-Ex: a trade-off in the automotive industry is the supplier who takes over design responsibility for
a component from the car manufacturer. In maintenance, some types of servicing can be done
by the purchaser of the equipment, other types by the equipment manufacturer - ANS-The Gray
Zone
-trend is to deliver smaller quantities as needed, as opposed to the former stance of buying
large quantities at a time to ensure better prices
