Searching Suppliers
Our first step to help our clients
with their sourcing requirements in China is to provide searching
suppliers. There are millions of suppliers available online
and at exhibitions, encompassing large professional manufacturing
companies, medium sized factories, small workshops, and even
trading companies; as an overseas company it is often difficult
to determine the best methods to find the right product and
supplier. Max Choice will research the best manufacturers
for the client's needs based on a set of client defined criteria,
This list of criteria is usually based
on the following information and will be required for a quotation:
¡öDrawings and all the technical
specifications including material, dimensions, tolerance,
surface treatment, labeling, and any other technical requirements
required
¡öPackaging solution
¡öInspection requirements, percentage, tools etc
¡öTarget prices if available
¡öAnnual purchasing volumes
¡öOther commercial condition, like Currency, International
Commercial Term, Lead-time request, Payment terms, Warrant
etc
Max Choice has own resourceful supplier database to start
searching. In the whole process, systematic steps will be
implemented for the purpose to efficiently filter out the
most potential suppliers to move forward. It is true that
seeing is believing, as often overseas clients find it difficult
to determine the truth behind manufacturer¡¯s artistic webpage,
heavy brochures, and polite emails, that is why we do not
limit our evaluation to only documentation at our office.
At Max Choice we formally visit the final 3~5 selected potential
suppliers for a full day audit. During this audit, all the
aspects of the company will be screened and a systematic record
will be kept. A comprehensive supplier audit report will be
submitted to you afterwards.
Note: While searching suppliers, we focus on those who are
accredited with quality certificates such as ISO9000, QS9000, or
TS16949, and, more importantly, on those who are strictly
implementing all the quality standards in their internal Mode
