Overview: Companies should develop shared processes with partner organizations that encompass a strategy that is core to their business model. These process designs require a specific outline of roles and tasks that enable value for the company. The paper looks at the key challenges and opportunities that companies face in today's environment as they consider the impact of distributed business models. The product-sourcing process design focuses on helping participants across a network of business relationships. Armed with the appropriate information earlier in the cycle, these participants can avoid design decisions that introduce costs and inflexibility into downstream manufacturing processes. It allows engineers and suppliers to support part and sub-supplier rationalization objectives, and allows optimization |of material cost/performance tradeoffs. The process provides the framework to ensure that parts are not over-designed, or that unique suppliers are not unnecessarily locked in with proprietary specifications.
