Abstract In this article the author discusses the criteria considered by business executives in initiating make-or-buy decisions. The author enumerates the major categories of the essential data needed in making make-or-buy decisions. The first general category would include both quantitative and qualitative factors. The error committed by companies by making decision that run contrary to the long-range growth pattern of the company is also explored in this article. Moreover, the author observes that most companies never attempt their manufacturing program under make or buy without sufficiently evaluating the availability of the required number of trained employees.
