DirecSource Launches Global Sourcing Series
Posted on Thu, Jan 12, 2012 @ 07:31 AM
Direcsource is excited to announce an ongoing series of articles examining the supply chain and things many brands overlook when producing their goods. This series will cover issues of importance in:
- Choosing and managing The Right Factory
- Tools and tips for Raw Materials Management
- Avoid Counterfieting and keep your Brand Integrity
- Careful Product Engineering can tip the scales in your favor
At Direcsource, we spend a lot of time working with our customers and auditing the factories we work with to ensure every customer is put into a position that allows them to succeed.
We've built our business by ensuring that our customers do not get caught in a "crisis" that may range from learning the factory they've been working with just filed for bankruptcy or learning that the workers are not being treated the way you were led to believe they were being treated.
In this first story we address some key points that should be looked at when looking at your overall supply chain. Let us know what you think!
Episode 1: Is It Time For Your Supply Chain Check-Up?
DirecSource was built by creating partnerships with our customers. We understand that for us to succeed - our customers have to succeed.
When we start talking with a new customer, it’s imperative that we learn everything about their product development cycle – and sometimes we find many of the things they are doing are being done exactly as we would have done them ourselves.
But, more often than not - we find there are many ways we can improve their product supply chain process – and save our customers time and money. Our process looks at everything from second and third tier resources that suppliers and manufacturers are using to shipping and delivery contracts.
