Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tighter control over product quality is not normally an advantage of outsourcing because when a company outsources production or services to another company, it cannot have direct control over the quality of the product or service. The outsourced company would be responsible for maintaining the quality standards. However, outsourcing can provide other advantages such as increased supplier options due to globalization, advanced capabilities to coordinate suppliers through information technology, and less required investment in capital equipment.
