AmerAsia Inc.: Wholesale Import Export & Sourcing Opportunities in China & India
How do you know if Global Sourcing makes sense for your company?
Many companies are realizing success leveraging offshore outsourcing providers to lower operation costs. There are several large reputable companies doing business in Asia as well as small businesses.
There are many reasons you should source
Would you like to reduce your operating costs? Do you feel that cutting production cost will improve your product line? Do you feel that labor is getting to expensive? These are some question you need to ask yourself when thinking of sourcing. To maximize productivity, manufacturing in Asia or around the Globe is critical. Many reputable companies concentrate on outsourcing the vast majority of their high volume and labor-intensive operations. This allows them to eliminate problems with production, staffing and the need for high start-up capital.
There are many products that can be outsourced. The question is: Is there a financial benefit to be gained from outsourcing? You might pay in North America between $15.00 - $30.00 dollars per hour for labor. While in China it less than $1.00 per hour. The labor in Mexico is about 2 to 8 times that of China, but is still more effective than that of North America. Raw materials are about the same any place in the world, the advantage of China is the lower worker cost. Therefore, the investment is lower and purchasing cost is lower. Some parts require many man-hours where in China your labor is drastically less.
