In sourcing, the lowest price is not always the best option. A reliable manufacturer should be evaluated as a whole: capacity, communication speed, document discipline, sample quality, lead time reliability and after-sales support.
Supplier evaluation criteria
Real production capacity, product standard, export experience and ability to provide documents for the target country are key criteria. Compliance can be critical in medical, food and construction material categories.
When should quality control happen?
- Technical review before sample approval
- Specification check at the start of production
- Quantity, packaging and visual control before loading
- Matching shipment documents with product details
FAHAN follows the process from supplier research to pre-shipment control so buyers can decide based on total risk, not price alone.
