Low Cost Region Supplier Development

Organizations large and small are seeking to take advantage of the ever expanding global economy. Many are looking to Low Cost Regions (LCRs) of the world for cost savings in supplied parts and services. Asia continues to be one region in particular that has garnered focused attention. Countries such as China, India, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and others have a wealth of well developed supplier and services providers and infrastructure. However, as many organizations have experienced, identifying qualified sources is filled with risks and challenges. We can put our many years of experience in Asia and North America to work for you. We are very comfortable working within the challenging requirements of ISO 9001, TS 16949, IATF 16949 and the requirements of Automotive OEM's, as well as the requirements of other industries. With our professional associates within the United States and China, we can help mitigate supply chain risks on both sides of the Pacific, and help you be successful in today's challenging global economy.
