Outsourcing – The New Paradigm: The world of manufacturing has changed. This change has been affected by “Globalization”. The entire World Economy is undergoing a massive restructuring. Manufacturing organizations are now faced with a heightened urgency for faster product development. Customers' expectations have escalated. Competition has increased. We can see a big pressure to improve productivity while at the same time reduce the costs. If companies want to compete and be successful, they must embrace global sourcing.

Global Sourcing is no longer the property of multinational companies possessing experience of trading across international borders; it is now firmly fixed in the business plan of many small, medium and large UK based manufacturing companies with local or niche markets. Along with this change has come an unparalled opportunity to exploit heretofore inaccessible resources available in the East at a fraction of their current cost in the West. Many organizations have identified that global sourcing provides considerable opportunity for acquiring manufacturing capacity at lower rates, for both technical and commodity products. This is, in essence, the main advantage of global outsourcing.

The two most preferred destinations for outsourcing of manufacturing and services are China & India. China, for example, brings together a comprehensive range of business advantages: One of the world's lowest labour rates ($100 - $300 per month), abundant raw material supply, a well developed industrial base, a technology-driven industrial sector (arising from substantial investment in infrastructure development). Why then, considering these indisputable attractions, do so many sourcing projects fail in China? The answer is because of the hazards of communication difficulties, unreliable short-term focus and inconsistent standards, unscrupulous suppliers & worst of all, intellectual property violation.

So, what is the ideal alternative? INDIA

INDIA – The Outsourcing Nation: A nation with the world's largest democracy, the largest English speaking educated work force and the 2nd fastest growing economy in the world with established credentials in outsourcing department. It churns out more number of technically proficient engineers and other professionals than any other country in the world. A country blessed with abundant natural resources and a stable growing economy (leading to very low costs) provides the ideal berth for manufacturing & service outsourcing.
