  abstract     = {We study the economics of the outsourcing decision from a supply chain dynamics perspective. Production can be either in the UK, where products are delivered on trucks to a UK warehouse, or in China where product is shipped via a container liner to a UK warehouse. We show that the traditional " landed cost " approach of purchase price plus transport costs overestimates the benefit from outsourcing products to China. However, the dynamic costs associated with the pipeline inventory, the UK inventory & the UK warehousing capacity costs associated with unloading the containers is not large enough to change the outsourcing decision.}
