How do I know if sourcing from China
is right for our company?
Without an in depth analysis and some initial steps taken in the
sourcing process, it may be hard to tell if you are on the right
track. Profitably buying from China requires a combination of:
- Sufficient quantity of goods purchased
- Sufficient value of goods
- Landed costs being acceptable
- Finding the correct factory(s) to produce your product
In sourcing from China, the most important question for your company
to answer is: Are we willing to change the way we do business in
order for China to be an option? We have found that close to half
of our potential clients are not willing to make the paradigm shift
necessary to successfully source from China.
It is not likely that major cultural barriers will be narrowed
in the foreseeable future. US firms willing to change their thought
process will reap large benefits from international trade. Those
that fail to make that change will be forced to find other means
of competitive advantage.
