Excellent article Jeff. There are numerous examples of failed outsourcing, and the 787 program is very similar to a jet program at my employer that was a significant commercial failure. Companies need to learn from these failures to temper the enthusiasm for oursourcing, which often has a "forbidden fruit" element to it. The numbers are so tempting on paper that it is difficult to resist, yet the numbers on paper are very rarely achieved.
