Abstract

While outsourcing is a method used by the companies primarily for the purpose of carrying out the activities which are out of their speciality, nowadays it is a method that is intensely preferred because of its many advantages. Although outsourcing applications have many advantages, many problems arise in practice. In this study, a survey was conducted to investigate the problems with outsourcing implementation to apparel companies and the data obtained were evaluated. Research results have shown that the most important problems of outsourcing implementation for apparel companies are “quality”, “job follow-up” and “logistics problems” respectively.
