Securing Your China Supply Chain (www.psschina.com) Part 3
April 32010
In a recent survey by purchasing managers, 3 out of 4 expressed concern over the lack of transparency in their China supply chains. Time, distance, language and cultural further complicate issues of Exclusivity, Non-Disclosure and IPR in many cases. As a result, questions such as “will my proprietary designs be respected”, “in educating our supplier, are we building a future competitor” and “how many sub-suppliers are being used” go unanswered.
This session will look at common pitfalls and best practices used in building a secure China supply chain. Mike Bellamy from PassageMaker (psschina.com) will offer practical and inexpensive strategies to utilize during both the supplier identification and production phases. A case study will also be presented.

With today’s wealth of information from the Internet, trade shows and business directories, even the smallest of buyers can generate a list of potential suppliers in China. However, possession of a list is only the beginning of the Supplier Evaluation and Order Placement process. The secret to success lies in your ability to move from the ‘Request for Quotation’ phase to delivery, aided by the knowledge of how to select the right supplier from a large pool of potential suppliers; ensure that the quality of the goods produced meet your expectations; and protect your brand imagery and product design specifications. In other words, preventing suppliers from becoming competitors. In this session Mike Bellamy from PassageMaker (psschina.com) will look at common pitfalls and best practices, and offer strategies on how smaller companies can overcome these issues on a limited budget.
