Let’s start the Tuesday with a grand reveal !
Our first collaboration with a potential new client has OFFICIALLY been kick-started , with the help of our seasoned auditor! 🚀
In our search of supplier, plastic injection machines are our main focus this time.
Everybody can rest assure that this audit sharing post will be explained in simple terms, easy to digest.
Factors that we take into account and put into audit report :
✏️ Production capacity / needed machinery
One supplier could have multiple factories across China, and each factory is equipped with different capabilities, such as appropriate molds and machinery .
Altogether, through integrating all of the resources one supplier has , not only does it save time, but the chances of meeting our customer requirements are enhanced.
✏️ Customer base
What does the variety of supplier’s customer base look like?
As with many things in life.. every coin has two sides. 🧐
With high-profile, diverse customer base that the supplier has, the system, equipment, and production line are for sure more established than elsewhere, higher cost can also be expected.
✏️ Warehouse storage
This one might sound intuitive, a no-brainer.
But without the storage space provided by the supplier, it could be a huge issue down the road. ⚠️
In our case, the supplier not only is able but willing to sort out the storage needed is a good sign and a positive step towards our potential collaboration.
In summary, many missteps can be made throughout the process, and that’s what makes audit preparation in advance so important.💡
Thanks to our auditor, who has 10 plus years of experiences working with Chinese suppliers and accumulates the knowledge and foresight when it comes to conducting evaluations like this, things can move forward fast and efficiently.
