ITI Answers Questions about Reliable Chinese Manufacturing.

Q. Is manufacturing in China right for my company?

A.  If your company stands to lose market share because of the high costs associated with machining or assembly (for example), then overseas manufacturing should be looked at closely.

When your products are labor-intensive; or they are produced with repeatable processes. Or if you need to expand your manufacturing capacity but can’t justify the costs immediately. Or you want to produce your component in different materials without incurring large-scale prototyping costs…for all these circumstances, there are cost-effective options provided by fabrication in Asia. Tooling often costs less than 25% of comparable U.S. tooling. Better yet, contact ITI for a complete review of your opportunities.

Q. Is there a “rule of thumb” cost range for overseas manufacturing?

A. Although there are many variables, if your cost for a manufactured product exceeds $100,000 ITI can save money. This is particularly true of high-technology components, medical equipment and instruments, or complex tools.  You should consult with ITI on these demanding manufactures.

Q. Is there one key to reliable manufacturing in Asia?

A. Check for proven experience. Some companies have it, some don’t. No American-owned overseas manufacturing company has been operating in China longer than ITI.  ITI has been custom-manufacturing components and finished goods in Asia since 1974. That means ITI has the trustworthy relationships, the procedural smarts and the knowledgeable staff to deliver the reliability you need.  ITI has the experience and the satisfied customers to prove it.

Q. How is high quality assured in custom-manufactured products?

A. First of all, ITI evaluates the factories it sources. For example, if the Chinese company’s production engineers or owners have degrees from the US, Europe or Japan, it is more likely to have a sophisticated quality control system – factors like this are important.

ITI also matches the quality control standards to the component or piece-part to be produced. A medical device, for example, will demand a much higher level of quality assurance than a wooden toy. But there is always a quality level that is established and has to be met. In all, ITI has 15 requirements as part of its standard QA process. For sophisticated components, quality requirements lists are even longer – even customized to meet your own procedures. Certain products that have rigid requirements are sent to independent laboratories for testing. When appropriate, samples from each production run are lab-tested prior to shipment.

Q. You have indicated that you “guarantee” manufacturing – what does that mean?

A. ITI takes care of every part of the import process including production financing. Ocean freight and insurance. Customs clearance. Delivery charges and duties. You pay only after you have received your shipment, inspected it, and approved it.

Q. Are you able to plan and forecast?

A. Manufacturing products in Asia is not the fastest option. But the savings can make it well worth the wait if you can forecast your needs, or plan ahead. ITI can help you determine your delivery cycle to insure delivery when needed.
