(Look at www.amrepchina.com for more information)
Many companies have moved into strategic outsourcing with its primary focus on manufacturing
suppliers in China. Strategic outsourcing as is understood in the US includes:
- Identifying potential suppliers
- Requesting Quotations
- Analyzing preliminary expenses
- Negotiating contracts
- Monitoring and Improving
Suppliers.
These are written up in articles in the ASQ Quality Progress magazine by members.
However, there are missing links
in some understanding of how to make Asian supplies operate
well in the US conceptualization and perceptions of –supplier
partnerships” and a –successful supply chain”
For Chinese suppliers you must have smart supplier identification,
qualification and audit systems. AMREP has been called in
many times by customers who found the wrong suppliers or are
working with suppliers which are based on –what
you see is not what you get."
You need to know and plan how to handle the following:
- Supplier Risks Avoidance
- Supplier Risks Control
- Supplier Replacement
AMREP does plenty of customer work on –monitoring and improving
–Asian suppliers. It gets more complicated in the newly emerging
factories and industries of New China. –Monitoring and Improving”
suppliers for customers outsourced suppliers is coping with
unexpected and surprising supplier quality and manufacturing
problems.
