Whether developing Strategic Manufacturing Assets, selling to the China operations of Western OEMs and top tier suppliers, or reviving underperforming China sourcing projects, China Business Network follows a proven methodology designed to overcome the risks and inefficiencies of manufacturing in China.

Our management and engineering team is a competitive advantage unmatched for their skills, knowledge and experience in managing manufacturing projects in China for Western organizations, and provides clients with the "boots on the ground" essential for success in China.

We take responsibility for every element of the project life cycle, from request for quotes through product sampling, purchase order management, production support, quality assurance, logistics management, cash management and tracking of funds.

Client activities are managed by Project Teams of managers, expeditors and engineers from the Western client, the Chinese partner and CBN. CBN Project Teams are positioned between the Western client and their Chinese customer or partner to assure the highest level of communications and quality assurance on each project.  

CBN's English-speaking process engineers have expertise in all metalworking disciplines including machined parts, industrial fasteners, tool & die, stampings, forging, and casting technologies. They are qualified to install Western manufacturing practices such as PPAP, TQM and Six Sigma in Chinese partner plants, as well as oversee absolute quality assurance at the partner facility. As important as their technical skills, CBN engineers are carefully selected for their communications skills and ability to work comfortably in both Chinese and Western cultures.

Daily meetings of the Project Teams, using CBN¡¯s Internet-based video conferencing capabilities, assure early identification and resolution of problems in real-time which would otherwise slow or derail the project. Secure, Internet-based project management capabilities ensure that all parties understand what needs to be done to move the project ahead, who is responsible and the deadline for accomplishing the task.

This disciplined approach to operations management ensures that every step in the project life cycle meets client requirements and expectations, improves productivity and increases profitability.
