The factors described in Chapter 3 can all be integrated into a systematic review of the make or buy requirements for a manufacturing business. The main stages of initial business appraisal, internal and external analysis, the generation and evaluation of options and the choice of an optimal strategy, have all been outlined. In order to assist a project team to work through these systematically, a more detailed breakdown is required. Each step will be introduced with a flow diagram to show the principal activities within it, and then described in working detail, with its objective, the approach to follow, and hints and tips from practical experience.
