In a recent survey by purchasing managers, 3 out of 4 expressed concern over the lack of transparency in their China supply chains. Time, distance, language and cultural further complicate issues of Exclusivity, Non-Disclosure and IPR in many cases. As a result, questions such as "will my proprietary designs be respected", "in educating our supplier, are we building a future competitor" and "how many sub-suppliers are being used" go unanswered.
This session will look at common pitfalls and best practices used in building a secure China supply chain. Mike Bellamy from PassageMaker (psschina.com) will offer practical and inexpensive strategies to utilize during both the supplier identification and production phases. A case study will also be presented.
