Maintaining Quality Standards In Outsourcing

A couple of years ago, there was an upcoming publisher who was about to launch a global (regional) magazine. Because he is based in Singapore, I told him that most probably, printing cost in that country is very expensive and profits can be maximized if the printer as well as the distribution service be outsourced to countries like the Philippines. The content and even layout can be done in the country of origin but the printing and logistical portions may be outsourced elsewhere. The quality of the content remains intact but the cost and profit margins becomes totally optimized.

For those who are paranoid about outsourcing, start by trying out a scheme similar to this.
