Transcripts
there is a common perception in the west
that china only makes poor quality goods
sure there are per quality goods made in
china and other low-cost countries like
vietnam
india or bangladesh but means like this
one
don't necessarily reflect the level of
nuance needed to understand the
situation
while there are low quality goods coming
out of china there are also well-known
brands like apple
coach and armani making products that
are regarded as high quality and that
command high prices
if you design a widget and want to have
it manufactured in china
you can make low quality widgets or high
quality widgets
the choice is really up to you the
manufacturing sector in china has
changed significantly over time
chinese manufacturing has evolved over
time this is how china has often been
referred to as the world's factory
that's because over the last 30 plus
years
the country has gone from an
agricultural economy to the world's
leading manufacturer
according to the economist as of 2015
china produces about 80 percent of the
world's air conditioners
70 of its mobile phones and 60 of its
shoes
its manufacturing sector has matured
significantly
factories have improved their processes
quality control
and worker training over time
the factory owners and managers also
might have realized at some point
that they could reorganize the layout of
their factory to ensure more lean and
efficient operations
they also would have become more aware
of the quality standards
and typical requirements of working with
companies in the countries they export
to
the reality is that as an importer if
you want to produce very high quality
products in china like apple does
there is nothing standing in your way
so why do so many low quality products
still come out of china
the first thing you should understand is
that like it or not
there is a demand for low quality
products in western countries
many western retail brands realize that
they can get more sales of their
products by selling them at a lower
price
to do this they very consciously choose
to sacrifice quality
as a buyer going to china you will find
factories that can produce your products
to a wide range of different quality
standards
essentially it comes down to the demands
you place on the man how willing you are
to spend more on better materials and
quality control
if you come to the factory and say i
want you to make the highest quality
products for me and i want you to
produce them at rock bottom
below market costs you are starting
things off on the wrong foot
it would be better instead to recognize
that while you can produce your products
in china at a lower cost than in the
west and still get good quality
trying to push your costs down too far
is going to be counterproductive
you get what you pay for therefore
it is better to have reasonable
expectations and not focus on price as
the sole factor guiding all your
sourcing decisions
another thing to consider is that when
dealing with chinese factories
it is vital that you communicate exactly
what you want to them
price versus quality what you need to
know when you're making products to sell
in the marketplace
you have to consider the trade-offs
between price and quality
sometimes producing better quality
products can lead to paying a higher
price for manufacturing
so today we have answered this question
why are the chinese goods poor quality
i hope you enjoy guys bye bye
