Outsourcing can also be the process or people and supply chain that gives and addition to the competitive advantage of the organization which proves to be operational excellence. as we can say outsourcing gives us a lot of benefits like it helps us to reduce the cost, reorganizing the staffs and manpower, it can also build the office morale, it can help the efficiency of the organization, quality of the product can be enormously improved as long as we have advantages we also have to face some of the disadvantages which can be like too much dependence on another party to perform certain type of work that may create the odd situation sometimes, it also add some of the risk to the project, confidentiality of the product could be down and which further could lead to the conflict in the environment of the organization which is a very negative thing to develop, retain the image of the company.
I suggest would like to state that before any company would go for the outsourcing the firm or the company should consider some of the important functions.
While in the case of the hospital there is given too situations where hospital can be benefited of outsourcing as well as there are some added negative of outsourcing too. Looking at the case they have been success to the cafeteria outsourcing but while of housekeeping they just got some of the difficulties which made them to rehire employees for housekeeping and in the case of laundry they again have outsource just due to the flood of financial pressure to the hospitals.
