勘测： 留在原地在中国的全球性制造商
由Omer Abdullah
在被感染的和毒性中国做的产品后最近回忆，更比一些推测外购生产操作那里的制造商是无疑义重新考虑他们的源头战略和质量管理过程的，如果一些，将我们说， `更加进取的’专家将被相信，甚而重新考虑他们持续的存在那里一共。 然而，根据聪明的立方体完成的一次私有的勘测的结果，专家看来非常错了。
实际上，被勘测的多数制造商比充分地安全确信他们的供应链是保证他们的产品安全的更多。 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.

Sourcing to China can be cost effective, but if something goes wrong, it could have a dramatic effect on your bottom line — and negatively impact customer opinion of your business. Can we trust domestic producers and distributors to control quality with fervor equal to their pursuit of low wages? Cheap labor is the easy part; the quality thing is a much tougher nut to crack.A product recall is a very visible and expensive sign of a serious quality problem. The life threatening potential of some problems long ago led American government and producers to develop recall and reverse distribution systems.
For the most part we’ve become good at figuring out which product is at risk, where it went, and executing the recall process with limited harm to life. But lately faith in American product-based businesses has been shaken by the apparent lack of due diligence in assuring low-wage Chinese suppliers meet the same standards as our own.

Made (responsibly?) In China
I recently had the opportunity to visit two factories in the southern China town of Kaiping that produced denim jeans for a major discount retailer in the United States. Considering that the only reports of Chinese textile factories that I had come across had been critical, the visit was a (pleasant) surprise.
Working conditions were orderly and tidy, the air was cool despite scorching heat just beyond the concrete walls, generous lighting flowed from large bay windows, …
