Veel gedachte en inspanning gaan in de selectie van verkopers, maar hoeveel inspanning u in het selecteren van een controleleverancier zet? Vele potentiële cliënten beginnen met hun gesprekken met „wij hebben geprobeerd derdeauditoren in het verleden…“

die correcte huisvriend? Ik kan niet u vertellen hoe te om één bedrijf over een andere te plukken. Uw bijzondere industrie en behoeften zullen bepalen wie voor u juist is. Wat ik kan doen, is geeft u wat advies in het algemeen over controles.

Mijn vriend Chris Carr, deken van het van CalPoly Mba- programma en de hersenen achter de Internationale BedrijfsReis blog heeft een zeer nadenkende gerechtigde post, „Zal Betalend Meer Gedrag van de Verandering en iemand Ethischer maken?“ Nadenkend, maar verkeerd.

De postcentra op of het betalen van meer u beter prestaties en/of betere ethiek wordt, en Chris zeggen vrij veel het niet:

„Sommigen stelden voor dat wij konden het probleem van teveel producten met gebreken oplossen die uit China door meer aan de Chinese leveranciers komen te betalen die dit materiaal maken. Ik vroeg die veronderstelling, en nog.

Één voorbeeld 1 gaf in die besprekingsdraad was dat als het betalen van mensen meer het probleem oplosten, dan waarom meer nog betalend de meeste goede werknemers in goede prestaties, maar niet superieure prestaties resulteren? (Zie Commentaar Nr. 29.) And why does paying most bad employees more money still get you bad performance, and not good performance? (If you feel that more money correlates to higher performance, come see me after you have hired, managed and fired more than a few people, and let’s compare notes.)”

“Private label products or services are typically those manufactured or provided by one company for offer under another company’s brand.” –Wikipedia. This is the name of the game for China and for the most part, the products you buy here in the United States are not really manufactured by the name on the label. In some instances most of the big box or clothing stores you frequent have an inventory almost entirely made up of their own products under their own brand or multiple unaffiliated brands. This is not just a game for the big boys, this can be accomplished with the same everyday products under your own company’s label. Welcome to the club, we are about to pull back the curtain to reveal what you need to know in developing your own private labeled line of products.

Take notice that every manufacturer has its own guidelines, requirements and procedures for producing a private label product. Not all manufacturers offer this service or have the capability to laser-etch/carve logos etc. The first step is to source the product you like and then follow-up with the manufacturer opening a dialog about private label opportunities.

In the aftermath of the recent recalls of tainted and toxic China-made products, more than a few have speculated that manufacturers who have outsourced production operations there are no doubt rethinking their sourcing strategies and quality control processes, and, if some of the, shall we say, ‘more aggressive’ pundits are to be believed, even rethinking their continued presence there altogether. However, according to the results of a proprietary survey just completed by the smart cube, the pundits appear to be very much mistaken.

In the aftermath of the recent recalls of tainted and toxic China-made products, more than a few have speculated that manufacturers who have outsourced production operations there are no doubt rethinking their sourcing strategies and quality control processes, and, if some of the, shall we say, ‘more aggressive’ pundits are to be believed, even rethinking their continued presence there altogether. However, according to the results of a proprietary survey just completed by the smart cube, the pundits appear to be very much mistaken.

In fact, the majority of manufacturers surveyed are confident their supply chains are more than adequately secure to ensure the safety of their products. Indeed, nearly 80% of respondents (all of whom were manufacturers who currently manufactured their products in China) reported that they felt no need to review their supply chain activities in the wake of the well-publicized toy and toothpaste recalls. Further, these global manufacturers believe that the recent recall issues, while serious, are aberrations and not symptomatic of some more fundamental issue inherent within Chinese manufacturing. They appear to be on solid ground, as Mattel itself has apologized for initially putting the blame on its Chinese suppliers.
