As out-sourcing and off-shoring expand, so does the supply chain for those enterprises deciding to seek alternative sources for materials. The search will take companies to locations where normal standards for quality and IT support are not adhered to. This makes the management of quality difficult if not impossible in an extended supply chain with current technology. The suppliers to your suppliers may or may not be willing to be audited or even made public. This allows the possibility of contaminated or counterfeit materials to enter the supply chain unbeknownst to the final market-facing enterprise. How can a manager minimize the resulting risk associated with lower cost raw materials?
