When you rely on a supplier to deliver your items, you lose control. Your request may not be fulfilled, resulting in delays, dissatisfied consumers, and lower profitability. As a result, entrepreneurs are looking into self-manufacturing to acquire control over their production and company.
The road to self-manufacturing is not a walk in the park but with mastery, you may reap rewards that are not possible when you are sourcing. Our hosts, David and Ken, discuss the important lessons they’ve learned along the way, from finding the right suppliers, and processing to human resource management.
