In this new eBook, we explain to you how and under what circumstances you may want to switch away from your current Chinese manufacturer to a new one. In addition, you’ll also learn why creating and nurturing a backup supplier is also good practice from a risk-reduction point-of-view.
If you have ever experienced results or situations from your current Chinese manufacturer that have been less than satisfactory it may be time to make the change, and we’ll show you how in this eBook!
Who needs this eBook?
Any importer who is currently using a Chinese manufacturer to supply their products should be prepared to move to a new manufacturer if dissatisfied. Therefore, if you’re manufacturing in China, read this eBook in order to be prepared.
Isn’t switching from one manufacturer to another hard and risky?
It can be, but this depends largely on your relationship with your current manufacturer. Did you sign a legally enforceable Chinese manufacturing agreement, for instance? If so, this will reduce the risks of your manufacturer ‘misbehaving’, and we’ve got a whole section in the eBook that deals with supplier management in terms of agreements, IP ownership, and more.
If you have started the relationship securely and done your due diligence, there’s no reason to delay switching if there’s a better option. In fact, as you’ll explore, the drawbacks of procrastinating and keeping the status quo with your current manufacturer can be so costly and damaging to your business that you will wonder why you ever delayed once you make the switch.
