From the supplier: A growing number of US manufacturers are buying component parts from independent suppliers to lower overhead and improve profits, a practice called outsourcing. Outsourcing thus involves the purchase of parts or finished goods from outside companies. A study conducted for the Wood Component Manufacturers Assn revealed that US furniture and cabinet makers can achieve higher profitability through outsourcing. Some of the advantages that outsourcing offers include better control over product costs, assurance of high quality component parts and the potential to realize greater return on investment.
