There are many reasons for make or buy decisions in logistics and the resulting outsourcing or insourcing measures: concentrating on core competencies, variabilising fixed costs, reducing costs and increasing flexibility are among the classic arguments for outsourcing. The lack of suitable logistics locations and skilled labour as well as high and difficult-to-calculate construction costs are currently further reasons for considering outsourcing. Insourcing measures are often considered if there is dissatisfaction with the logistics or fulfilment service provider or if companies are looking to change their strategy.
viaLog advises companies on outsourcing and insourcing decisions by preparing make-or-buy analyses and project management for the implementation of corresponding measures.
