Question 3: How Do We Select Chinese Suppliers?

Answer:

Our supplier qualification process follows these key steps:

1-NDA/CA (Non-Disclosure Agreement/Confidentiality Agreement):

Secure signed NDAs before sharing any proprietary information; Use existing part specifications to test supplier capabilities; Evaluate: Technical qualifications / Pricing competitiveness / Business compatibility.

2-GTCP & GTR (General Terms and Conditions of Purchase & General Technical Requirements):

Clearly communicate all technical specifications; Align on commercial terms and cooperation framework; Establish mutual expectations before proceeding.

3-T-RFQ (Test Request for Quotation):

Issue RFQs using previous part designs; Collect comprehensive supplier responses; Assess:Technical understanding / Pricing structure / Communication efficiency.

4-Costing Analysis:

Conduct detailed cost breakdowns; Understand supplier pricing strategies; Apply industry-specific expertise to evaluate quotes.

Question 4: How Do We Evaluate Chinese Suppliers?

Answer:

After narrowing down potential suppliers based on their cooperation willingness, we proceed with on-site audits and objective supplier scoring to ensure reliability.

Key Evaluation Criteria:
1. Production Capacity Verification
- Many suppliers claim "No problem!" “Everything is OK!" but fail to deliver. To avoid this, we thoroughly assess:
Factory size & layout
Workforce (employee count, experience, turnover rate)
Machinery capability & automation level...

2. Financial Stability Check
- Some suppliers misrepresent their financial health. We verify:
Basic documents (Business License, Tax Registration, Invoicing Records)
Deep due diligence via:
- State Administration for Industry & Commerce (SAIC)
- National Tax Bureau (tax compliance)
- Court records (legal disputes, financial risks)

3. Risk Mitigation
Safety is our top priority—we ensure you avoid:
Fraudulent suppliers
Legal entanglements
Financial instability

By implementing this structured approach, we eliminate unreliable suppliers and secure trustworthy manufacturing partners for your business.
