Good morning all,

Another thing to consider in the outsourcing is who will be watching the
quality of the products made for you?  Many companies outsourced
manufacturing and got rid of their experienced solder operators,
inspectors, and other quality people.  When it came time to monitor the
quality of the product coming back in from the subcontracted source,
surprise, all the people qualified to make the decision were gone.  Design
engineers who never visited the manufacturing floor when it was in house,
are a poor substitute.
