Why would any COMPANY consider outsourcing their subcontractor management?

If you are a Startup semiconductor company, Fabless semiconductor company, or a small to midsized IDM and answer yes to any of the following:

1. if you are a part time subcontractor manager
2. you want to improve your manufacturing performance to approach/exceed world class bench marks
3. you need to get new and older products to market without delay and on time
4. you don’t have the time to look at alternative sources for better unit pricing or new packages
5. you don’t have subcontract manufacturing expertise currently on your staff
6. you want to augment your existing subcontractor management staff expertise with additional resources
7. you want more time to focus on important projects/functions in corporate
8. you want to know hour by hour accounts of special projects in the factory
9. you don’t want to hassle with relationships that need to be built on in order to get what you need from subcontractors in crunch times
10. you are paying more than $100k a year managing your subcontractors for visits, travel expense, salaries, etc.
