You work for a major giant in the snack production industry. in the past, your company has relied on one vendor for all of the raw materials that go into producing the company's internationally acclaimed snacks. recently, however, your ceo decides to try the multiple sourcing approach as a way to save money during these tough economic times. your ceo informs you that he thinks it would be cheaper to use products and services from other countries in order to save money, and he has reason to believe that the raw materials are of higher quality. as you evaluate multiple sourcing, you come up with a list of variables you think are important and want to bring to the ceo's attention.
what points would you bring to the ceo of your company as a potential drawback of multiple sourcing?
