The Rylon Company has designed all of its medical devices in-house and contracts with parts suppliers to manufacture components according to Rylon's specifications. Now, Rylon plans to involve its suppliers in helping design the components they will produce. Since many of Rylon's suppliers have engineers with specialized design expertise, Rylon expects this change to reduce the overall time and cost to design its next new device.
Which of the following, if true, would provide the strongest support for Rylon's expectation?
A) When suppliers participate in designing the components they will produce, Rylon often needs to make adjustments to the overall device design.
B) In order to provide design assistance, several suppliers will need to hire additional engineering staff.
C) The cost of outsourced components accounts for a large portion of Rylon's total expenses for a new device.
D) When suppliers previously just built components to Rylon's specifications, they competed with each other to win manufacturing contracts.
E) Many of Rylon's suppliers already have libraries of predesigned components that can be customized for use in a new device.

Hi Mods, nightblade354,
Can you pls explain why choice E is correct and why not C?

The question is asking us to find information that would support Rylon's expectation that involving its suppliers in the design process will reduce the overall time and cost to design its next device.
Here's why E is the strongest support:
E) Many of Rylon's suppliers already have libraries of predesigned components that can be customized for use in a new device.
This option directly supports Rylon's expectation. If the suppliers already have predesigned components, this could significantly reduce the time it takes to design new components from scratch. Also, customizing these existing components could be more cost-efficient than designing entirely new ones. This can speed up the process and also potentially cut costs, meeting Rylon's expectations.
As for the other options:
A) When suppliers participate in designing the components they will produce, Rylon often needs to make adjustments to the overall device design.
This option suggests that involving suppliers in the design process might lead to more work for Rylon, potentially increasing time and cost - the opposite of what Rylon expects.
B) In order to provide design assistance, several suppliers will need to hire additional engineering staff.
This option suggests that the suppliers may incur additional costs to hire new staff, which could be passed onto Rylon, thus increasing the cost of the device.
C) The cost of outsourced components accounts for a large portion of Rylon's total expenses for a new device.
While this option suggests that cutting costs on components could significantly reduce overall costs, it doesn't indicate whether involving suppliers in the design process would achieve that goal.
D) When suppliers previously just built components to Rylon's specifications, they competed with each other to win manufacturing contracts.
This option provides information about the suppliers' past behavior, but doesn't directly support the idea that involving them in the design process will reduce time and cost.
