Au lendemain des rappels récents des produits Chine-faits corrompus et toxiques, davantage qu'uns ont speculé que les fabricants qui ont externalisé des opérations de production là ne soient aucun doute repensant leurs stratégies d'approvisonnement et processus de contrôle de qualité, et, si une partie de, nous disent, `des' pandits que plus agressifs doivent être crus, même repensant leur présence continue là tout à fait. 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.

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.

Last week we saw a great documentary on doing business in China, called ‘Brits Get Rich In China.’ The documentary features three British entrepreneurs; Tony Caldeira, Peter Williams and Vance Miller.
Tony Caldeira had a successful cushion business in Liverpool, but his company lost the battle against cheap Chinese imports. In order to save his company he decided to go to China and set up his own cushion factory. He invested millions of his own dollars to achieve this goal.
