Rising labor costs has signaled an opportunity to review operation and sourcing strategies at Ultrasonic Power Corp. Our company is asking for your help gathering, organizing, and analyzing information to determine the most cost effective decision in a make-or-buy situation. This cost analysis can be performed by looking at the financial cost to buy the component versus the cost to produce the component, which allows us to make a decision based on an analysis of unavoidable costs. We need a comprehensive understanding the capital justification on these topics, and seeking your recommendation to either invest the capital/people development or continue to outsource. There are several make-or-buy decisions we are looking to review:

1. Build vs. Buy Fabrication (equipment cost, space, etc. vs. current buy)
2. Sheet metal supplier opportunities, should we purchase material directly and pay labor, sheet metal supplier company recommendations for cost saving.
3. Build vs. Buy Heat Sinks & Vibra Bars (equipment cost, space, etc. vs. current buy)
4. Solar panels (buy vs. other options)
