The Quality Challenge
Your greatest challenge when procuring from China will be in ensuring that your quality requirements are clearly identified and understood, and that these are then truly implemented and are verifiable with suitable levels of traceability.
China have been putting people in orbit with locally designed and built equipment, and are increasingly approaching technical leadership positions across many industries. Quality and compliance issues for off-shore clients are usually from a mixture of misinterpreting how to deal with local conditions, combined with the absence of good in-country supervision and representation.
Due to the challenging nature of local conditions, this usually necessitates levels of supervision and boots-on-the-ground support beyond which you are used to or could reasonably implement from an off-shore location. Your company’s reputation will be judged on the result, and Goldhawk understand how critical that is to your future.
