Multiple sourcing. Using more than one supplier has many advantages ... The buyer is protected against failure at one supplier's plant and has provided himself with options should requirements rise or fall suddenly. When using more than one source, the buyer must decide how to divide the business ... When a second source is desired, but a premium must be paid, 80:20 or some other lopsided share may provide the protection sought at minor cost.
