Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

According to the APICS CSCP - Supply Chain Management Certification, outsourcing is the process of transferring some or all of the activities or functions of a firm to an external provider or supplier. Outsourcing can have many benefits, such as reducing capital investment, achieving economies of scale, increasing flexibility, and accessing specialized skills or technologies. However, outsourcing also involves some risks, such as conflicting objectives between the buyer and the supplier, loss of control over quality or delivery, loss of core competencies or competitive advantage, increased dependency or vulnerability, or ethical or social issues.

Hmm, I'm not sure about lead times being reduced. Wouldn't that depend on the specific supply chain setup?
