Our Process: Sourcing

 

Myland USA’s sourcing services process begins with a full understanding of your products or services. We will meet with you extensively to gain a deep understanding of your market intentions, current marketing strategy, and perhaps most importantly, we will work to understand the whole picture of your company, not just a single product or project, putting the product under discussion in the context of your overall company and larger marketing effort. By doing so, Myland USA has the ability to prevent potential problems, and in the rare instance that problems do occur, we have a keen ability to resolve problems to everyone’s benefit.

 

At Myland USA, we have experienced all the possible problems related to vendor and supplier management, so you don’t have to. There are a great many steps in the vendor management process, including:

 

  • Qualifying vendors

  • Settling on pricing, assuring the optimal combination of quality and price,

     particularly price stability

  • Holding hands with our client to understand requirements

  • Checking, checking again, and checking a third time to assure that the

     vendor(s) understand the requirements

  • Constant communication

  • Understand existing or developed drawings, technical specs, etc.

  • Assure the correct materials and process(es) are in place

  • Manage prototype or sample approval

  • Logistics, arranging pick-up, delivery, etc.

  • Purchase order management

  • Production schedule management

  • Assuring on-time delivery

  • Detailing the packing process to ensure safe delivery of the cargo in overseas

     shipping containers

 

When dealing with Chinese firms, mastery of the small details will set you apart from your competition. Myland USA can offer strategic guidance as to when to aggressively pursue issues of quality, price, etc., and when to “rest” and resume discussions at a later time. Myland USA has developed a reputation for representing high standards of quality and class—in the eyes of your China counterparts, it is all about the company you keep. The quality of your consultant directly affects your perceived image, both personally and on a company basis.

 

Myland USA has the special capability to understand the needs and wants of our clients, and is especially attuned to the “pain points”. We understand the critical importance of intellectual property (IP) protection, and we understand your intentions. Give us a call today to begin discussions of your sourcing initiatives.
