Practice Research
Our service on
customized manufacturing or sourcing in China includes the
following six procedures. We will walk you through all the procedures from phase one to phase five on
namufacturing or sourcing each product, and explain how they transform from designs and conceptions to their physical existence.
◆ Free consultation: We provide a
free e-mail/telephone/facsimile consultation with No obligation for
you. Feel free to contact us via sending us an email with your
questions and requirements.
The purpose of the consultation is
for us is to understand you, your needs, your products, your ideas,
your concepts, your vision, where you are now, where you want to go
next, how we can best assist you. To make the best use of our time
in the consultation, please email us in advance information about
you, your business, your products or your ideas. (Please rest
assured that all your information are very safe with us. See also
our business privacy policy) We will also evaluate the time and
effort needed from us in your project and quote accordingly. We
explain below our pricing structure, see if it makes sense to you.
◆ Phase One: Research, products
sourcing, manufacturer due diligence, manufacturer pick, quotation
on your products;
Our team in China will research your
specific industry in China paying close attention to your needs. We
will sift through the ocean of Chinese manufacturers, assess which
regional and local manufacturing environment would perform best for
you, conduct manufacturer due diligence using our proprietary
analysis system Manufacturer Qualification Criteria (MQC), locate
the most suitable manufacturers, negotiate prices and terms on your
behalf. It is worth pointing out again that price alone is
meaningless without the context of quality and risk management. We
focus on a balance of these three factors, price, quality and
risk-free. We believe this balance is for your best and most
interest.
If you are at the product development
stage, this is the time we assess all production options, and make
suggestions on how to make it cheaper and easier in mass production.
We will work closely with you to make necessary adjustments and to
finalize all details to best suit your needs.
When we feel that we have done a
thorough work on your project, we will then proceed to prepare
quotes on your products for your review and consideration. There is
no standard answer for the lead time, it takes from days to weeks
depending on your project.
◆ Phase Two: Prototyping and
sampling;
Once you green-light to proceed
further, we will move into phase two, that is, prototyping and
sampling. If a tooling is needed, we need to first have the tooling
opened, before any prototypes or samples can be made. General
speaking, tooling lead time is one month.
Phase two is critical. This is the
time when we usually encounter and discover most if not all major
technical issues, production problems or quality imperfections. And
this is the time to have all of them resolved to ensure a smooth
mass production in the future. We will work closely with
manufacturers and offer our help in the problem-solving. Our
extensive knowledge and experience in manufacturing and sourcing
have served well in helping manufacturers resolve various issues
they encounter.
As soon as the samples and prototypes
are ready, we will courier them back to your country/region for your
approval. It is worth pointing out that it is not unusual that
sometimes the prototypes need to travel back and forth several times
between your country and China, to have every detail changed or
improved the way you see fit. Rest assured that you will get our
full co-operation till you get satisfactory results. Again, there is
no standard answer to the lead time of Phase Two.
◆ Phase Three: Production monitor
and quality assurance;
This is the mass production phase. We
keep in constant touch with manufacturers to check on the status of
raw material preparation, production scheduling, production
progress, quality control and packaging.
Along the way working closely with
the manufacturer in Phase One and Two, we will have already come to
our conclusion of the Key Monitor Issues for your product in mass
production. We will pay special attention to the Key Monitor Issues,
and monitor the whole process carefully to ensure high quality
products. When necessary, our staff will perform inspection after
production is finished, before shipping. In general, production lead
time in China is one month.
◆ Phase Four: Exportation from
China & Overseas shipping;
We will handle the exporting
documentation and the Chinese Customs clearance, book sea freight,
and ship your goods back to your country/region. We know how to keep
cost low on every procedure involved. The duration of overseas
shipping from China to your country/region such as US is usually two
to three weeks by sea.
◆ Phase Five: Importation into
your country/region and Delivery to your address.
We will handle the importing
documentation, your country/region Customs clearance, the import
duties, and deliver the goods to your designated address. We will
keep costs as low as possible. Please allow two weeks on the
importation procedures and the truck-shipping time before you
receive your goods at your address.
