The term “insourcing” first appeared in business literature in the early 1990s (1,2). It is a combination of the words “in” and “outsourcing,” and it is a term used to emphasize the positive aspects of bringing functions back in-house. Insourcing is used to describe a business’s function generally focusing on the core competencies. Insourcing is synonymous with the term “in-house” and will be used interchangeably.
