Why do we advise to cooperate with a local partner?China has over the recent years proven itself as being the global leader for production and outsourcing.Many different companies from all over the world therefore decided to investigate the opportunities forcooperation with a Chinese supplier or manufacturer. This led in many cases also to implementation andstart up of actual sourcing/outsourcing.

With communication tools like internet, email, etc. it has become more easy to get in contact withsuppliers in China, however the perception of easiness is also a trap for many companies. The ease ofestablishing contacts is totally different from setting up and maintaining a high quality and reliable outsourcing processes.
Underestimation of differencesDue to the low threshold and ease of communication, many companies overlook the differences withChinese suppliers regarding production methods, ways of thinking and communication. From itsexperience, PCG International Sourcing knows how essential local presence is in order to understand thesupplier and make sure that orders are well understood and executed accordingly. This also means thatnot only the manufacturer but also you as a customer have a great influence on the outcome of a (out)sourcing process. Think about aspects like clear guidelines for (raw) material purchase, production andassembly instructions, quality control, etc. In case you don't define such important steps of the process,your cost benefits can easily turn into cost disadvantages.
Be preparedWith a proper preparation and local monitoring you significantly reduce the potential risks for (out)sourcing in China. It also helps to create a better relationship with the Chinese partner, that isin particular important in China. A good relationship offers more flexibility, open and more pro-activecommunication and dedication, which in the end will give the best result.
Given our experience, PCG International Sourcing knows what the best ways are to set up your process inChina and we do this in open and clear communication with both our customer and the Chinese suppliers.
We also have Americans that are fluent in Mandarin Chinese to make the process even easier.
