Answer:

d. All of these.

Explanation:

A term commonly used in companies, specifically in pre-planning new releases, and involving the Purchasing area, is the famous "MAKE OR BUY." Briefly, "Make or buy" refers to the assessment to decide if the company has the components that are used in your product, or whether it will need to purchase those components from an outside supplier.  If the company decides to compare the components by an external supplier, it must analyze some interesting aspects in relation to the suppliers, as:

• the quality of the outside supplier's product
• whether the outside supplier can provide the needed quantities
• whether the outside supplier can provide the product when it is needed
