Previously, Autoco designed all of its cars itself and then contracted with specialized parts suppliers to build parts according to its specifications  Now it plans to include its suppliers in designing the parts they are to build
Since many parts suppliers have more designers with specialized experience than Autoco has, Autoco expects this shift to reduce the overall time and cost of the design of its next new car
When suppliers built parts according to specifications provided by Autoco, the suppliers competed to win contracts.
