CHINA
PRODUCT SOURCING AND
SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
 Silk Road Advisors
and its
Chicago-based
partner
Aptium Global
work with small and
medium sized
manufacturing
companies to save
money on direct
material purchases
through Aptium
Global's unique Lean
Sourcing™ approach.
Silk Road Advisors (SRA) researches, qualifies and negotiates with
product sourcing leads
in China to see that Western companies receive their product
orders on time, within budget and to specification throughout their China supply
chain.
Companies involved
in China product
sourcing quickly
realize it is
difficult to find,
qualify and
effectively
communicate
requirements with
Chinese suppliers up
and down the supply
chain. Cultural and
language barriers
compound product
sourcing Quality,
Pricing and Delivery
issues that arise
due to
 distance
and different
expectations of what
a Western client
needs to be
successful in
managing its supply
chain in China.
Silk Road Advisors
offices in Beijing in North China and Suzhou in South-Central China (near
Shanghai) make on-site qualification visits by SRA inspectors fast and
convenient for Western companies without their own facilities or staff
on-the-ground in China.
SRA Offices also make follow-up of the production and
shipping processes easier for Western clients because of the proximity of
offices to major manufacturing centers in China. And Chinese product sourcing
manufacturers are more flexible in pricing negotiations and quicker to attend to
client requirements when they know a Western client has local representation
that can act when results do not meet client expectations.
