Chinese Factory Benchmarking Service

Dec. 4, 2009 - PRLog -- Chinese Factory Benchmarking Service Offered to UK Firms
China Direct Partners, global sourcing consultants, have developed a new service for UK construction firms. Those sourcing direct from China can now see how their suppliers compare against the best Chinese manufacturers. Using a combination of desk research, interviews and factory visits, China Direct Partners Ltd produces a report ranking any given manufacturer against its peers in the sector.
Armed with the benchmarking report, which includes sophisticated statistical analysis of the supplier, a UK importer can negotiate better terms, work together with its supplier to address technical or managerial weaknesses, or even decide to defect to the competition!
An overall factory score is a composite of sixteen separate components, which score management ability, production quality, quality certification, worker quality, factory operating procedures and environmental performance. This score ranks a supplier against a sample of similar factories selected from a factory performance database developed and maintained since 2006.
The service provided by China Direct Partners enables a UK company to act as though it had a professional procurement team on the ground in China without the expense and difficulty of recruiting bilingual staff with procurement and sourcing expertise and understanding of Western business practices. The benchmarking service is targeted at importers who have an existing relationship with Chinese suppliers, either directly or via an import agent, although China Direct Partners is happy to advise clients who have not yet established such relationships.
