  • Not sure what to ask for or how to handle the discussions?

  • Tired of the 12 hour time delay for answers, or no answers at all?

  • Not sure how to select and qualify a quality vendor in China?

  • Want to improve your manufacturing process and be able to work internationally at the same time?

Whether your goal is to solidify communication and expectations, or to improve your overall manufacturing process, Global Consulting Partners, Inc. has experience in the full production lifecycle and can help you make the most of your overseas partnerships.

Quality suppliers - we can visit a potential supplier and perform a quality audit and review of the factory and work force. An experienced eye in their facility prevents costly surprises down the road.. 

Instruction on cultural differences - The response you hear may not be what the culture really means. This is important to understand. At times, plant layout and flow is very important to the Chinese culture. Feng Shui (layout for greatest productivity and harmony), what happens during Chinese New Years, and other cultural differences shouldn't be overlooked when considering the big picture of how your supplier will work for you. Clarity and agreement between you and your supplier are better than assumed understanding. 

Reduce communication errors and misunderstandings - as in any business agreements these cause expensive delays. This is even more important when English is not your supplier’s first language. 

Training your personnel to keep the supplier relationship in house - Most growing companies do not want to leave this relationship to an outside group.  

Process development and procedures - in developing the right process and procedures many types of misunderstandings and errors can be eliminated.
