OK, so Boeing is famously falling apart largely because it has outsourced too much of its manufacturing processes, and lost the ability to control quality. Does outsourcing always have that result? Are there examples of organizations that have done this successfully, and what distinguishes them?

Most of Boeing’s recent issues have been largely due to really bad internal quality processes, mostly in final assembly at Boeing and not suppliers. Apple is the best example of outsourcing all manufacturing while maintaining quality.

japanese animes (also mangas but to a lesser extent) productions largely outsourced to studios in neighbor countries, but ideations still remain in japan so i guess it depends on which part of your product is outsourced, i.e. is it the core value proposition or not? gud question 500$farther

Outsourcing doesn't always lead to poor quality. Companies like Apple successfully leverage global supply chains while maintaining strict quality controls and strong relationships with their suppliers. The key is robust oversight, clear standards, and consistent communication to ensure high-quality output.

Polkadot outsourced its marketing to its “community” treasury and that seems to be going well

I noticed more cabinets are being made with material that is outsourced. Not necessarily of the critical life infrastructure or connectivity standpoint, but I find it fascinating. I can’t say that I know of an outsourcing unit that isn’t Apple (or Samsung et al) that hasn’t been a catastrophe. That said, Apple and Samsung have both had their blunders. Note 7 blowing up on airplanes, Apple telling us we were holding our phones wrong with the iPhone 4 antennagate. I suppose it’s going to be a big ask to find a company that has not had a mess as a result of outsourcing.

There's a big difference with aerospace vs normal manufacturing. But I can't say that I've seen anything in a manufacturing sector that isn't done better in house. As for the Apple example, they have leveraged a great deal into QC and tolerances (which are rather weak compared to say, arcseconds).

Boeing outsourced a significant portion of design and manufacturing, potentially sacrificing control over critical aspects. Successful companies outsource strategically, focusing on core competencies and maintaining oversight. @jahangir-hz @kawa1985 @kamal1987 @zohi @hadi1480 @hadi1580 @majid1983 @mersana1398

Outsourcing doesn't always lead to loss of quality; it depends on execution. Companies like Apple and Nike maintain high standards through rigorous oversight and strong relationships with suppliers. Effective communication, solid partnerships, and robust quality control systems are key to successful outsourcing.

Outsourcing doesn’t always lead to quality issues; it depends on management and oversight. Apple, for example, has effectively outsourced manufacturing but maintains strict quality controls and close relationships with suppliers. Success lies in balancing cost savings with rigorous quality assurance practices.

While Boeing's situation may highlight the risks of excessive outsourcing, it doesn't necessarily mean that outsourcing always leads to a loss of quality control. There are certainly examples of organizations that have successfully outsourced manufacturing processes while maintaining high standards of quality. One key factor that distinguishes successful outsourced relationships is strong communication and collaboration between the company and its outsourcing partners. Clear expectations, regular updates, and a shared commitment to quality can help ensure that the outsourced processes meet the company's standards. Additionally, conducting thorough due diligence when selecting outsourcing partners, and closely monitoring their performance can also help mitigate potential risks. Overall, outsourcing can be a valuable strategy for many organizations, but it's essential to carefully manage and monitor those relationships to ensure that quality standards are maintained.

Outsourcing doesn't always lead to quality issues; it depends on how well it's managed. Companies like Apple have excelled by maintaining stringent quality control and tight integration with suppliers. The key is strategic oversight and fostering strong partnerships rather than just cutting costs.
