Abstract: This work addresses the increasing demand for smartphones in the electronics industry and the need for manufacturing expansion to keep up with this growth. Smartphones have become an integral part of society's routine, both for personal use and as a work tool.

Several studies have analyzed the factors influencing the outsourcing decision, such as the degree of product or process standardization, the costs involved, and the correlation between companies and services provided. The article proposes an empirical outsourcing model for manufacturing in an electronics devices industry located in one of Brazil's Industrial Hub,......
