make or buy decision

make or buy decision
A decision to make a product or component internally or to buy it in from a subcontractor. If the decision is based on cost terms alone, the relevant costs of manufacture compared to purchase should be considered and if there is no spare capacity then opportunity costs of manufacture may also be relevant. This decision often has to be made in the course of planning a manufacturing process.
