The most effective solution to this project is by engaging manufacturers already making similar products in China. This will cut cost and time to market. However, to do this you ll need someone with skills, contacts, experience, and cultural background to avoid the pitfalls inherited with dealing with Chinese suppliers. The correct person is likely to be like me.
I have lots of relevant experience in China, Shenzhen in particular. My suppliers-partners are into electronics components, PCBA, mold design and tooling and manufacturing. My network of expertise are centered around design and manufacturing of consumer electronics.
Thus, I'd propose below:
- Employ my company (FEN Sdn Bhd) as your OEM agent
- Create a draft copy of the product specification
- Engage OEM manufacturer
- Project realization, prototyping to sample production
- Manufacturing
I'd provide a full report on how to carry all of the above, which include schedule, design, prototype validations, QC reviews, and production setup.
As if I m employed by your company as a Project Manager. I ll give full attention given to design, cost, and quality issue of course.
I am new to freelancer, but I m not new at all in the world of electronics, you are welcome to google me. :)
Please give me a call.I look forward to a fruitful long term business relationships with you. Cheers.
