This paper develops a conceptual model to study the role of outsourcing strategies and plant-level information technology (IT) application infrastructure in the outsourcing of production and support business processes, as well as their subsequent impact on overall plant performance. We validate this model empirically using cross-sectional survey data from U.S. manufacturing plants. We find that some IT applications are more effective at enabling the outsourcing of business processes than others. For example, the implementation of enterprise management systems is associated with the outsourcing of both production and support processes, whereas operations management systems are not associated with the outsourcing of plant processes. Plants with a low-cost outsourcing strategy are more lik...

It was the kind of extra work and stress no one needed in the weeks before the holidays, but there it was. The production date for a major New Mexico Transportation Department road project had been moved from 2011 to January 2008, but because of an oversight, very little notice of the change had gone out to certain areas within the agency. As a result, 200 drill samples arrived in the soils unit lab in late November and needed to be analyzed as quickly as possible. Enter management analyst Steve Griego, a supervisor in the Highway Operations Division. Griego gathered additional equipment and organized and supervised a staff twice its normal size, including personnel brought in from other lab units. Through it all, he maintained a positive, "can-do" attitude - and got the job done. For h...
