勘測： 留在原地在中國的全球性製造商
由Omer Abdullah
在被感染的和毒性中國做的產品後最近回憶，更比一些推測外購生產操作那裡的製造商是無疑義重新考慮他們的源頭戰略和質量管理過程的，如果一些，將我們說， `更加進取的』專家将被相信，甚而重新考慮他們持續的存在那裡一共。 然而，根據聰明的立方體完成的一次私有的勘測的結果，專家看來非常錯了。
實際上，被勘測的多數製造商比充分地安全確信他們的供應鏈是保證他們的產品安全的更多。 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.

Documentary on doing business in China
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.
