Best Answer

externalising costs of production means to move product out from your company to sub contractor (other companies) and pay then to do the job. In many cases large manufacturing companies (like car manufacturers) will find engineering companies to make may of the parts i.e. the nuts and bolds used to hold body work together rather than did it them selves because if they need to slim down the production they just done order so mush and save money if it were created in the business they would still have plant, machinery and staff standing idle but still having to pay
