A Relationship to Build On: The Benefits of Global Sourcing for Construction Companies

Issuing a tender can be a pretty tense process. Often, that’s stating it mildly...

You and your team sit down, painstakingly put together cost projections for materials, man-hours and the construction technicalities at hand. You arrive at the best price possible and you submit it to the client.

But, what happens meanwhile? Your competitors are doing the same. How much is their bid? Have they struck a great deal with a global supplier to source products significantly cheaper than you? Only time will tell. And usually a lot of nail biting, too.

In many ways, the construction industry is unique when it comes to budget considerations.

Sure, budget is paramount for any business. But, when you’re issuing a tender, getting your budget the right means the difference between having work to do and having nothing to work on at all.

Naturally then, the continuing trend in global sourcing is of particular interest to construction companies. Here’s how to get it right.

 

Stay on top of your schedule

When it comes to the different stages of a project, each can potentially be held up waiting for inexpensive and often very basic components that get stuck somewhere in the supply chain.

If you’re sourcing from somewhere in Asia, for example, it’s important to be especially diligent about the supply chain schedule. A 55% saving off the domestic price is an attractive reason to source any given widget globally.

But if they get held up and slow down the next stage of funding, your savings are nullified and major cash flow issues arise.

Seafreight is the most common form of shipping used in global sourcing and takes on average around 4 weeks. Airfreight can reduce that down to a few days, but is more expensive.

It’s worth making contact with an airfreight company to have a standby logistics account registered. Likewise, having backup component suppliers for emergencies is especially important when taking your supply chain global.

With these contingencies in place, you can reap the massive savings and ensure you’ve got your bases covered.


Quality assurance measures

Quality is a major concern for any business looking to outsource globally for the first time, and construction especially so. The idea of poor quality components jeopardising the safety of a project is beyond unacceptable.

Different regions and markets have different ideas of what constitutes “satisfactory quality” or “fit for purpose”. For that reason, paying a reasonable fee to an impartial third party inspector with a predetermined set of factors for what you consider acceptable quality is the ideal way to keep your project on track.

If everything’s checked by a reputable auditor, you get the peace of mind you need to focus on the project.

 

Be aware of cultural barriers

Finally, comes the inevitable cultural barriers.

It’s often quite incredible how different perspectives can be overseas. For that reason, being crystal clear and unambiguous in the language you use with your orders is tantamount for a successful project.

Classic examples which anyone who has travelled internationally will appreciate include:

  • “Neutral” colour schemes are not the same in all countries
  • "Normal" toilets and bathroom fittings are very different
  • “Environmentally aware” buildings and building materials mean very different things in different countries

In addition to committing to a policy of crystal clear communications, it’s worth doing a little research, too. Head to Google and search for info dealing with different cultures in a business context such as this article on the Chinese holidays.

If you’d rather speak to someone in person, call one of our specialist outsourcers with a strong track record of saving money, and even stronger relationships built while sourcing globally for construction companies.

 

What a Sourcing Project Delivers

Research Projects Offer Mawson Global Customers Peace of Mind

Global sourcing can provide significant cost and time saving benefits to companies, while increasing their profits and strengthening their overall business. Yet the risks and time commitment required to successfully utilise global sourcing can be overwhelming.

If your company is considering global sourcing for one or several products, you need all the facts up front – before you make a decision. Mawson Global’s research project (RP) offers the vital information your company needs to make an informed decision about global sourcing. 

A research project provides a detailed analysis of global sourcing for a particular product. Projects are based on specifications, such as volumes and prices, you provide in a sourcing request document. Mawson Global then takes these specs and conducts comprehensive research on sourcing for that product, including:

Sourcing  recommendations – One of the most useful components of the research project is a list of reliable potential suppliers and their locations. Mawson Global starts with 30 to 40 supplies and uses your criteria to narrow down the list to the best possible matches. This detailed and proven process is what distinguishes us from other sourcing providers, and it’s what makes us your best ally for global sourcing your products.

Estimates and ratings – The research project offers a break down of numerous estimates, by supplier, for global sourcing a product, including approximate landed cost, current cost, potential wholesale price, retail price, potential profit and savings, margin, approximate annual volume, potential annual profit, potential profit in three years, and annual import spend.

Metal Product Manufacturing and Mawson Global - The Perfect Alloy

Fabricated metal product manufacturing is a major global industry. The industry generates approximately $2 trillion in annual revenue and whether you’re a major consumer products manufacturer or a smaller regional player meeting niche demand, fabricated metal product manufacturing is an industry that depends on efficient operations to hit profitability targets. Global sourcing metals can offer significant benefits to manufacturers working to lower costs and raise profits in this highly competitive industry.

Reducing raw materials expenses: Companies producing products from metal materials operate in a highly competitive environment. An experienced sourcing partner, like Mawson Global, with relationships in China and other metals-producing countries can help you identify the best partners, negotiate hard for excellent prices and let your team focus on its core competencies.

Building strong sourcing partnerships on the ground: Doing business in China requires strong sourcing relationships on the ground. Trusted relationships, combined with a deep understanding of local business culture and traditions, makes it easier for a company to close important deals. An established sourcing partner with these relationships in place can effectively represent your company and save significant costs related to opening an office, making local hires, and paying for frequent executive travel to the region. Relationships also make it easier to resolve problems when they arise, trouble shoot disputes, and manage process improvements that can shorten customs delays and other logistical challenges.

Streamlining the value chain: Metals manufacturers rely on tight value chain management to keep production moving and costs down. Value chain management is a complex and expensive undertaking in its own right. By choosing an expert sourcing partner with strong knowledge of sourcing raw ore and established regional relationships, it’s possible to run a lean value chain management team. It also helps direct their focus to activities higher on the value chain that can further optimize a company’s profits. Streamlining the value chain is important for large companies with well-mapped processes, as well as smaller companies relying on simpler systems.

If you’re a metals manufacturer that’s ready to improve your sourcing operations in Asia, contact Mawson Global. Ourproven two-step process can identify ways to streamline your operations and improve your profitability.

Mawson Global FAQ: How Will Global Sourcing Affect Your Business?

The idea of having your equipment purchased and shipped from the other side of the planet raises a lot of questions for a business owner.

There are concerns over quality control, cash flow, supply chain complications and international legislation. Naturally, we’re asked these questions a lot here at Mawson Global.

Here’s a quick overview of the most commonly asked questions about global sourcing and what it means for your business.

1.   Is it worth me investing in global sourcing?

Naturally, the size of your company and your level of turnover are key considerations when determining whether or not it’s worth you investing in global sourcing in the first place.

As a general rule of thumb, the savings on offer by dealing globally and direct with suppliers is between 40% and 70%. Provided the savings available to your particular orders outweigh the one-off fee paid to Mawson Global to source the products, it’s worth coming on board.

This is why we have our QuickLook Analysis. So we can uncover the potential savings, determine if it’s worthwhile for you, and without obligation to sign up for the long term. The process is typically completed inside 10 days.

2.   How will it affect my cash flow?

Typical purchases made when sourcing hardware globally involve a deposit down when you place your order, with the remaining balance to be covered upon shipping. Most banks offer trade finance products so you can facilitate the process without it impeding your business’ cash flow.

The benefits on offer considerably outweigh temporary inconveniences for cash flow and the fees associated with these bank services are typically very affordable.

3.   How can I guarantee satisfactory quality control?

When sourcing your equipment globally, it’s possible to predetermine a series of tests to be conducted by a third party inspector to ensure the equipment you’re purchasing is up to whatever standards you deem necessary or appropriate for your business.  Failing to use a trusted third party quality auditor is the most fundamental mistake most importers make.

That said, because you’re purchasing equipment directly from the factory, it comes off the production lines and goes immediately into quality control. Should problems arise, it’s much quicker to deal directly with the factory rather than a third party supplier or wholesaler.

Without this middleman, there are less stages where mishandling can happen and communication to fix problems is more streamlined.

4.   What about tariffs and timeframes?

If you’re in the West, sourcing equipment from countries such as China, Southeast Asia and India naturally takes a little longer than if you were sourcing from home. As a rule of thumb, and in addition to the production time for the equipment, you should allow four weeks for the delivery of globally sourced equipment to arrive via sea freight.

Air freight is an option and, although more expensive than sea freight, can shave the shipping time down to just a few days.

Mawson Global advises of any licences or permits necessary to ship your purchases. We also consult with registered and qualified customs brokers to ensure you know the importation tax tariffs upfront to avoid nasty surprises later down the line.

What to Expect During Supplier Visits and How Mawson Global Can Help

When you’re contemplating visiting your suppliers, it’s helpful to remember some advice from “Sesame Street:” “Asking questions is a good way of finding things out.”

At Mawson Global, we have the expertise and the skills to make supplier visits successful -- and educational. Whether you need a guide on-site or someone to visit potential suppliers on your behalf, we can help.

If the supplier is new to your organization, one of your primary goals should be to validate claims that they make in sales presentations and proposals. If the supplier is one that you already use, it’s helpful to conduct an annual renewal evaluation or a periodic cost negotiation.

Here are some tips on how Mawson Global can help you get the most out of a supplier visit:

  • Visit the receiving dock. On the dock, we can help you find the names of suppliers and the quantities of raw materials on hand. We will help you compare the information that you have received from cost-analysis negotiations to what we can observe on-site.  Here is a great place to see if the product you are buying is really made in the factory or just shipped in from the real producer!
     
  • Visit the shipping dock. Here we can see the condition of finished goods, observe the quality inspection process and learn how shipments are handled.  Making sure the quality inspectors (preferably third party) understand what you are looking for is one of the most important issues to solve on a supplier visit.
     
  • Talk to the sales staff. We ask how orders are received, entered, and queued for production or fulfillment, and whether electronic notifications to the customer are available at every step.
     
  • Talk to line employees. We’ll check on company morale and organization, and ask specific employees specific questions. For example, it’s helpful to ask machine operators about their productivity per hour so you can verify any commitments the sales team has made to order delivery dates.
     
  • Talk to management. We’ll ask about such things as communication structures, employee turnover, and how long management has been in place. If relevant, we’ll help you peruse the company’s financial statements and business plan.  Here you are trying to get a feel for how committed the whole company (not just the sales department) are to your project.

A Guide to Understanding Chinese Holidays

For any traveller, no matter your nationality or destination, there is no question that wherever you go, people are very proud of where they come from and wear it as a badge of honor.

For a business professional, gaining insight into what drives that loyal patriotism is invaluable. When you can effortlessly demonstrate your knowledge of someone’s home country, it serves as an incredibly powerful relationship-building tool. It can improve rapport, increase sales, and can even avoid major disruptions to your business.

When the country in question has around 1.4 billion inhabitants, this is especially important.  China is a business and economic superpower in its own right and possesses a holiday calendar that bears almost no resemblance to that of most other countries.

Unlike Judeo-Christian holidays such as Easter or Christmas, China’s holiday calendar is rooted in both centuries-old agrarian roots and modern nationhood.

Dates for many of the holidays change annually, based upon the celestial calendar. Therefore, make sure you mark these important dates each year to stay on top of them.

Here’s your guide to understanding the Chinese holidays:

January: Yuán Dán (New Year’s Day)

While China’s zodiac New Year celebration doesn’t occur until February, the Chinese still recognisethe international holiday of New Year’s Day. Since the rest of the world and its businesses are closed, China follows suit for three days. Smaller celebrations are held throughout the country, though they cannot hold a candle to the celebration or significance of the national New Year celebrated the following month.

February: Chun Jié (Chinese New Year)

The Chinese New Year, celebrated in accordance with the Chinese zodiac calendar, is quite different to the New Year celebrated on the 31st of January by much of the West. Each New Year ushers in a time symbolised by one of 12 animals from the Chinese zodiac, or “Sheng Xiao.” Because each of the 12 animals hold different meanings, it is wise to research this holiday each year. For more specific information on the Chinese New Year, review our 2016 article on the Year of the Monkey here [link]. As a general rule, do not plan to conduct Chinese business during this time.

April: Qingming (Tomb Sweeping Day)

A three-day festival, Qingming is a time for the Chinese people appreciate the outdoors, taking stock of the greenery and fresh blossoms of spring. It is also an important time for honoring ancestors by cleaning and attending to their tombs. Usually falling in early April (the date also deriving from the celestial calendar), Qingming is a solemn and private period for the Chinese. It’s impact on business is minimal, at best, though keep in mind some key decision-makers may be away from the office for a day or two.

May: Láo Dóng Jié (Labor Day or Mayday)

This Chinese holiday follows much of the West and is a three-day period starting May 1st each year. It doesn’t have any major cultural significance to the Chinese, but assume that key decision-makers and executives may take one or two days’ worth of holiday on either side of the date.

June: Duan Wu (Dragon Boat Festival)

The Dragon Boat Festival is a Chinese holiday honouring an ancient poet, Qu Yuan, and celebrates the longest day of the year, the summer solstice. For this holiday, traditional dragon-shaped boats race on nearby waterways. While Duan Wu is waning in popularity these days, do not be surprised if you find a number of people off work, especially if they’re participating with racing teams over this three-day holiday.

September: Zhong qiu (Mid-Autumn Festival)

This holiday celebrates the triad of interlinked Chinese principles of prayer; thanksgiving and gratitude; and the gathering of family. Zhong qiu holds a significant personal importance to the Chinese people and is honored on a similar level to that of the New Year celebration in February. If you must conduct pressing business in September, it is wise to conduct it 10 days before or after this holiday.

October: Guó Qíng Jié (China National Day)

Chinese National Day is celebrated annually on October 1st. On this date in 1949, chairman Mao Zedong officially proclaimed the state of the People's Republic of China while standing at Tian'anmen Gate. Goodwill gestures, such as businesses taking out full-page magazine advertising spreads to wish people well, are common. During this time, there is no business for roughly seven days, so don’t make any arrangements for the first week in October.

Considering global sourcing from China?

Increasingly, the huge potential savings on offer mean more businesses than ever are establishing supply chains in, and sourcing globally from countries such as China.

If you’re considering becoming one of them, but want to work with a business that has a local presence in this important country, contact us for a QuickLook Analysis today and find out how much money sourcing globally could save your business.

 

Business in Asia The Social Aspect of Doing Business

Just imagine it.

You’re in the meeting. The one you’ve been anxious about for over two months. As much with the anticipation of visiting Asia for the first time as the amount of money it could make for your business.

If it’s successful… If you don’t do anything embarrassing that breaks local etiquette and wipes your credibility off the face of the earth in a single, fleeting moment.

Until you’ve spent time in Asia, it’s easy to underestimate just how different these cultures are and how easy it is to create an awkward situation with a seemingly innocuous action or comment.

Not only that, but following proper local etiquette truly lights up the faces of those you’re with, building serious rapport in the process.

That’s why we’ve put together this list of social faux pas for you. There are over 40 countries in Asia, so a list of every potential etiquette beach for each country would take a medium-sized paperback book.

That said, here are the main ones to highlight just how different or unusual some of them can seem to us. We’ll have plenty of examples from China as it’s such a massive global business hub.

 

Eating at restaurants

There are a few things to bear in mind when eating out in Asia.

The first is to ensure you get your chopsticks skills honed if you’re going somewhere that uses them as the primary table utensil. Impress your dinner guests and save yourself the embarrassment of asking the waiting staff for fork. If you don’t find that idea cringeworthy, you should.

In some parts of Asia, it’s considered the height of rudeness to finish all the food on your plate, so check for the specific country you’re visiting. You may need to leave a small portion to one side to signify that you’re satisfied rather than suggesting that they’ve not provided enough food.

Some Asian countries consider it good manners to burp at the end of a meal, too.

As a final note, if you’re in China, placing your chopsticks in your rice neatly upright (a 90° angle to the table) is considered to signify death. Awkward silences may ensue!

 

Going for drinks

Certain etiquette must be observed when out for drinks in Asian countries and China is another good example here.

First is toasting. The host will typically make the first toast, so don’t jump the gun if you’re the one who’s been invited out. Instead of “cheers”, you’ll hear either "gan bei" (bottoms up) or "kai pay" (drain your glass) but whatever Asian country you’re visiting, look up this word before you go. Don’t be left looking around wondering what’s going on.

Also, in China, the level of your glass must be below the person you’re “cheersing” if you wish to signify respect. Otherwise, you’re stating that you consider yourself somehow “above” them.

Similarly, you’ll typically want to finish the whole glass. Don’t worry, the glasses over there aren’t as big as the pints you may be used from some countries, so you’ll still be able to hold together a conversation after sinking two or three.

If you’re unable to drink alcohol and need to decline, be aware that this could be seen as rude and make sure do so very respectfully. Explain that you’re very honoured by the generosity but are unable to drink and ask them to suggest a substitute drink so you can be part of their hospitality.

 

Taboo conversations

It’s good to remember that different political events are illustrated differently in different countries. That means, the narrative of global politics that your Asian counterparts know will be very different to yours.

Typically, it’s best to avoid these conversations. Whatever you’ve heard on the news, don’t insult the monarch, governments or establishment of an Asian country. Leave your political views in the hotel room. And make sure they know your government’s views don’t necessarily represent your views as an individual.

 

Contraband

What constitutes as contraband varies around Asia. A good example here is that drugs legislation particularly strict in countries such as Thailand or the Philippines. Some products that may even be available over-the-counter in the West could carry very serious penalties.

If you must carry pharmaceuticals around with you, check the specific legislation for that item in the country you’re visiting before you go.

Another good example is chewing gum in Singapore. It’s illegal to chew or be in possession of chewing gum in Singapore, even if you brought it there by accident.

 

Body language and physical contact

Realistically, the number of times you would touch somebody on the head in a business social outing are relatively slim. However, after a few drinks and a lot of rapport built, it might be feasible.

In much of Asia, touching someone on the head is considered incredibly rude and/or condescending. Similarly, pointing at someone with your feet or hands is best left avoided.

Putting feet on a table is rude (like much of the West) but unlike much of the West, showing the soles of your feet is considered very rude. Examples include Thailand and some other Southeast Asian countries, so be careful of resting an ankle on a knee to show the soles of your feet.

 

Declining invitations

As a final point, if you’re not big on socialising in general, you may want to revise that policy while in Asia. It can be taken as a serious insult, especially if it’s a senior member of another business who invites you out.

And when you do go out, well, it’s a lot to remember. If you’re worried about slipping up and ruining that business trip, or if you want to know more about sourcing globally from Asia, it’s worth getting in touch with an expert.

Global Sourcing: A Vital Tool for Machinery & Industrial Supply Companies

The machine and industrial supply sector is often a competitive environment.

You know the great feeling of securing a valuable, long-term contract with an established company. But ensuring you have the kind of supply chain in place to offer competitive rates, with the proper quality assurance, and in the right timeframes is a genuine challenge.

Naturally then, global sourcing has become increasingly popular for industrial supplies and machinery.

With savings of 40% to 70% on the table, medium, large, and even some small businesses adopt this strategy to shave costs. It means offering more competitive quotes to secure those all-important contracts.

Naturally, such savings require a little diligence to be fully recognised. Let’s take a look at some key considerations for sourcing globally in the industrial supply and machinery sectors.

 

Schedule considerations

First and foremost, and as we often highlight here on the Mawson Global blog, sourcing products globally takes a little longer than purchasing from a supplier that’s just down the road.

Sea freight is the most common method and takes around four weeks for delivery. Airfreight is an option and spending the extra cash can shave that time down to just few days.

With the machinery and industrial supply sector specifically, it’s important to recognise that many of the largest contracts are often seasonal in nature.

Sourcing from many foreign countries such as China or India means working with cultures that don’t recognise Judeo Christian holidays such as Christmas.

Whichever country you decide to source from, ensure you stay up to date with the holiday calendars to avoid delays during important seasonal contracts. Check out our guide to Chinese holidays here

 

Quality considerations

At the forefront of most people’s minds when sourcing globally for the first time are considerations of quality. Another point that’s particularly relevant in the industrial supply and machine industries is the idea of safety regulations.

Safety regulations are different in different countries. So one piece of equipment ordered from China may not be built to the same safety specification as one you ordered in Australia where local standards are observed.

Consequently, it’s important to be crystal clear about what you want from your overseas supplier, taking into account not only the difference in safety legislation, but also the language barrier. Be super concise with your language.

A good rule of thumb is to never assume anything and to always spell everything out.

 

Cultural barriers

Finally comes the inevitable cultural barriers. Business is increasingly global these days and learning how to effectively interact with different cultures is an invaluable skill for the discerning supply chain manager.

But there are practical differences in the way business is conducted, too. For example, in Asia and many other countries from which you might source globally, labour is typically very cheap. Consequently, production lines are often built to accommodate more manpower and less automation.

This must be taken into consideration when ordering machinery. Conversely, if setting up your own operation overseas, you may find it cheaper to employ more locals. Expectations will differ on both sides of the proverbial fence, so again, don’t assume anything.

Next comes the normal issue of etiquette. It’s often surprising how different cultures can be and how easy it is to find yourself leading an awkward silence by failing to recognise a social faux pas.

If you want to save yourself that kind of embarrassment and work with people who can help you build the kind of strong and profitable relationships you want overseas, call one of the Mawson Global team today for a QuickLook Analysis.

 

 

 

 

Dealing with Production Problems in China

Have you ever dealt with production problems, sub-standard goods or an unacceptable delay? Perhaps even a project that came to a full stop without warning. Follow these tips to help overcome production problems with your Chinese suppliers.

Keep a representative or local third party inspector on site in the factory. This is the only way you really know what is going on. You need someone who protects your interests on site. Mawson Global’s on the ground team will make sure our client’s needs are understood and acted on by supplier management.

Monitor progress closely. Shaking hands typically is not enough to ensure production will move along at a satisfying pace. More importantly, if you notice a factory is not moving in the right direction for even a few days, contact them immediately and try to understand why.

Complete a quality assurance check prior to any shipment. Even if you have a small order, any set back during production may have resulted in rushed production. Overall, not doing a final inspection prior to shipping will be more expensive than getting a third party to ensure that the products fit your quality guidelines.

Most of the production issues arise from selecting the wrong supply partner.  Make sure you are as important to the supplier as they are to you!  You can do this by selecting someone who is a similar size to your company, by making the time to personally visit the factory and by involving the supplier in your long term plans.

Mawson Global helps clients by developing and implementing strategies that remove the risk of sub-standard quality and that form lasting relationships with suppliers to ensure projects are completed on time at the right cost.
