Another area is the make-by.
So, today, we do 92% ourself, and that's great, but maybe we can better utilize the network, the ecosystem that we're having around the world, with the OEM suppliers.

externalisation
My guess is, they are referring to outsourcing here.
I would choose "externalisation" so it covers a lot of ground in French.

: that would be "made in" "made by". "Another area is the make-by." = "Un autre domaine est le fabriqué en/par"? Meaningless.

: As F-X says, not only would that not correctly translate the source term, it wouldn't even make sense in the context given.

And is the standard of EN overall native-speaker? Already, this short extract makes me suspect it is written by a non-native.
I have a feeling that what this is referring to is subcontracting or 'outsourcing' of part of their manufacturing — getting things 'made by' someone else; it sounds odd because of the curious use of 'make' rather than 'made', but I suppose from the company's POV, they are going to 'get someone else to make' them; this sort of ties in with the mention of 'OEM', though more context would undoubtedly clarify.
