Managing Your Project in China
Engaging a manufacturing or distribution partner in China can lend significant benefits to your enterprise, however managing ongoing operations can quickly become a costly and time consuming endeavor. Factors such as long distance travel, major differences in time zones, labour restraints, and communication problems, can make ongoing project oversight more troublesome than it needs to be.

Needs identification
Firstly we will conduct a Needs Analysis by working together to take an in-depth look into your company's current and future situation. This will include current and future opportunities, operational and strategic plans, budgeting, current resources, market environment, and timeframe.
It is possible your company may be starting a project from scratch, in the beta (demo) stage, moving the resources of an existing project into China, or expanding an ongoing project. This first step will give us a comprehensive understanding of your company's strategy, goals, needs, and operational systems.
Vendor Selection
After completion of the needs identification analysis we will begin a search for a suitable vendor. This step may be completed before, after, or simultaneously with the design and development stage. Not every vendor, factory, or distributor has the same level of design capability or creative competency, and it pays to know early on which vendor will be able to provide solutions to the hurdles that arise during the production process.
While almost all Chinese factories are capable of following exact instructions, only some have the ability to effectively provide solutions to the unique problems that will arise during more complex production projects. Since Empirion International operates in the dynamic Chinese industrial sector regularly, we can ensure we find suitable vendors for your project before any major investments or proprietary disclosures are made.
We have a high standard of performance at our company, and we expect the exact same level of competency from all the vendors we recommend. Vendor selection is a critical stage in the overall success of any project, and we leave no elements to chance when qualifying a vendor.
We carefully analyze the vendor's performance history, operational facilities and capabilities, moral standing within the industry, and company management team from top to bottom.

Design and Development
The design and development process can take days, weeks, or even a couple of months. Having internal personal stay in China during this process may not be feasible, which is why we are able to oversee the entire design and development process on your company's behalf.
During this stage of the project, effective communication is paramount. We are able to effectively communicate developmental progress back to you, while conversely relaying your instructions and concerns back to the producer, resulting with a finished product that is exactly what you desire.
Quality Assurance
We use random testing in adherence with AQL (Acceptable Quality Limit) standards to complete our quality inspections. AQL testing is a common method used to measure production batch quality, in order to determine whether or not the order has met the client's expectations.
Purchasing and taking ownership of a bad batch of products can have an extreme effect on a company's bottom line. We are able to ensure the products you take ownership of are produced to the specified quality before they are shipped.
Relationship Management
The effect of cultural differences between individuals and businesses from different countries is often underestimated and can cause both confusion and frustration. As time passes and the working relationships deepen, small issues may turn into more troublesome events because of a misunderstanding between cultures.
We work to bridge the gap between the "Western" and "Eastern" cultures when doing business with companies from different nations with vastly different norms.
We know what to expect from the businesses and the individuals who comprise them here in China, and we have great confidence in our ability to maintain and facilitate a positive working relationship between both parties throughout the project and in the future.
Shipping
Using our network of logistics providers, freight forwarders, and warehousing companies, you can ship with confidence when sending goods from Asia to any address in the world.
