Sourcing van China heeft van een ongecompliceerde, kosten-gedreven benadering van gedetailleerdere en strategische verscheidenheden geëvolueerd(. Terwijl de recente productrappels schenen om de geen Chinese uitvoer beïnvloed te hebben die op algemene cijfers wordt gebaseerd, nochtans zijn wij over het anecdotische bewijsmateriaal voorstellen anders gekomen.

Ongetwijfeld werd de aanvankelijke sourcing rente teweeggebracht door de bekende lage direct (zoals die voor arbeid als land of huur) en indirecte kosten van China, zowel (teruggegeven onder een horde aansporingen van de overheidsuitvoer, zoals gesubsidi�ërde brandstofkosten, de terugbetalingen van de de uitvoerBTW, niet-belasting en/of belastingsvermindering).

In de loop van de jaren heeft de oefening van statisch, per punt prijs-gedreven modus operandi aan verfijndere degenen geëvolueerd. Bijvoorbeeld, wenden vele kopers van de V.S. nu een verticaal of lateraal geïntegreerdeo benadering, of allebei aan. Lees de rest „Recentste Sourcing van China Tendensen“ of post een commentaar

Much thought and effort goes into the selection of vendors, but how much effort do you put into selecting an audit provider? Many potential clients begin their conversations with “We have tried third party auditors in the past…”

Does that sound familiar? I can’t tell you how to pick one company over another. Your particular industry and needs will determine who is right for you. What I can do, is give you some advice about audits in general.

An audit in general terms is an objective evaluation of product, processes, and/or systems. Most importantly, an audit is a comparison of actual performance to predetermined standards. Note, please the emphasis on predetermined standards, and the means to evaluate your auditor is clear. You must first specify to what standards you desire your supplier to be audited. Feel free to ask your potential auditor to what standard they will perform an audit. Read the rest of “Evaluating your Audit Provider” or post a comment

“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.

China has been trying to stem an ever growing trade surplus, manage domestic inflation, move development from the coastal areas to the inland areas and decrease its dependence on heavily polluting industries.

Because of these objectives, manufacturing in China is becoming more expensive as China adds in hidden (and sometimes not so hidden) costs into the sourcing equation. 

Here are the top 4 reasons you can expect costs to continue to rise in 2008:

1. Reduced VAT Refund

When Chinese manufacturers purchase goods domestically for use in manufacturing, they pay a VAT (value added tax). For people in the United States or others who are not familiar with the term VAT, it’s essentially a sales tax. Historically, the Chinese government allowed for generous VAT refunds if the final manufactured product is for export. However, as of July 1, 2007, China has changed its refund formula. Many products have had their VAT refunds completely eliminated and many others have been reduced. Since Chinese factories typically take these VAT rebates into account when calculating profit margins, the reduction or elimination of them is likely to… Read the rest of “4 Reasons Sourcing from China will be More Expensive in 2008″ or post a comment
