The European Chamber is delighted to welcome you to a seminar covering the crucial issues that influence the success of sourcing in China.
European companies continue to increase the proportion of their products which they source in China. However there are still common pitfalls and areas of concern. It is also important that sourcing strategies are carefully planned and executed to ensure that deadlines are met and quality standards are maintained. To that effect this seminar offers three speakers covering three different perspectives of the process.
Introductory Presentation - Bureau Veritas
Mr. Toby Li, Global Sourcing Service Manager of Bureau Veritas, who has 10 years of experience in global sourcing, will offer some hints on how to achieve successful sourcing projects in China. He will discuss some global trends in sourcing, the general challenges of sourcing, internal challenges and the characteristics of Chinese suppliers.
