In de nasleep van de recente rappels van bedorven en hebben de gifstof China-Gemaakte producten, meer dan enkelen gespeculeerd dat de fabrikanten die productieverrichtingen daar hebben gedelocaliseerd zonder twijfel hun sourcing strategieën en kwaliteitsbeheersing processen heroverwegen, en, als enkele, zullen wij zeggen, moeten de agressievere' experts `worden geloofd, zelfs daar totaal heroverwegend hun voortdurende aanwezigheid. Nochtans, volgens de resultaten van een merkgebonden onderzoek dat enkel door de slimme kubus wordt voltooid, schijnen de experts zeer worden verward.
In feite, is de onderzochte meerderheid van fabrikanten zeker hun leveringsketens meer dan voldoende veilig zijn om de veiligheid van hun producten te verzekeren. 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.

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.
