Manufacturing in-house gives a guarantee of supply, improved skills in manufacturing and ensures continuity of business.

In house manufacturing may not be comparatively cost effective as there may be other firms who can produce cheaper and may require additional unrecoverable capital expenditure which may be back breaking to the firm.

Outsourcing manufacturing may be cheaper and equally save the company sunk cost in experimentation procedures towards producing a new product.

However outsourcing manufacturing may not guarantee continuous supply due difficulty or competition from the company taken up the outsource contract and firm losses opportunity to diversify into new products which may be beneficial on the long run.

In house manufacturing is a better option for it guarantee continuous supply, it provides shield from shocks of international trade obstacles like currency devaluation or political instability, it provides additional skills and products for diversification, increase turnover and finally continuous existence.
