The client is a business consultant doing business with China in the food and medical industry field.
They are looking for a glass bottle supplier to replace the current supply channel. The client expects to hire a product sourcing consultant in China to support their business.
The current supplier is from another country.
The client has an existing supply chain and needs to find a new one to replace it. Expect new suppliers can offer more competitive prices.
The existing whole supply chain needs to be knew and calculate all the costs involved order handling process, such as purchase price, import duties, transportation costs, and other operational costs.
Changing suppliers is not simple. We can not only compare with products sourcing price. There are many factors to be considered as well. It will evaluate the supplier’s background, production capacity, purchase price, customer service, product delivery, supplier’s ability to deal with problems, and so on.
If the new supplier is not as good as you expected in the actual cooperation, the risk is very high.
In the beginning, the client provided very little information. Products specification needs more detail no matter it is simple products or not.
The main potential suppliers were from Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province. Xuzhou is a glass products industry cluster in China.
I communicated and negotiated with several suppliers, and got purchase prices and MOQ.
To know factory production competence, workshop video, and images were gotten as well.
When we change suppliers, we need to evaluate their risks
It is necessary to place a sample order first to evaluate the quality of the product,
Evaluating the supplier’s capabilities in the sample stage is a good opportunity.
The suppliers can better know your requirement as well in the sample stage
Sample order from placing the order to receiving the goods. We will probably know through the order handling procedure whether this supplier is reliable.
If the sample was approved, I propose that new and old suppliers provide products together in the beginning.
