Doing Business in China

Making own China manufacturer sounds great.You can be doing business China directly.Whether your business is import or export,building a factory in China will be helpful to extend your business with Chinese.Many enterprises have moved their factories to China.But that is not something to take lightly.You need to do some homework before starting to set up a factory in China.

First,take a detailed look into the exact costs of your labor,overhead and materials before Making your own China manufacturer and doing business China.Determine what systems you currently have in place that ensure you can produce a high quality product,on time,at a set cost.Don't assume that your Chinese partner will fix these systems for you.Don't assume that if a system works here you will simply work out the details later. This is a critical mistake that will cost both you and your partner a considerable amount of funds and wasted time.

You have to realize that not only do your systems have to be 100% in place, but that they can easily be converted to Chinese. For example:

Do you have a step-by-step process currently in place to show a new employee how to build or assemble a product?
Do you have a quality control system in place to ensure that product works as advertised?
Does the quality control procedures deal with defects and what to do with them?
Do you know exactly what the cost of each individual part of the assembly is?
Do you know how much labor is involved in each part of the sub-assembly or main assembly?
Do you know precisely what your overhead cost is?
Can all of these procedures, and other data easily be translated into Chinese?

Second,you are communicating in a different language, and what might seem like an easy procedure to you in your language, might be very difficult for someone to understand in another language.

Ask yourself, do I have all the systems in place to take a guy off the street and train him in a matter of weeks how to assemble, do quality control, and make my product quickly in the most cost effective way? Do I need engineers trained in very specific areas, and can I train them as well? If you cannot answer these and the other questions on this page, then do not move your assembly to China. Find someone in China to build it for you.
