Global Sourcing
Customers:
Tier I, II and III Suppliers
Objective:

suppliers in low cost countries such as China, India, South Korea and South
America.
Hurdles:
Solution Model:
Price alone is not the true measure of whether a manufacturer can save
money by working with international suppliers. The total cost of doing
business must be considered including the resource allocation in developing
a new supplier from a low-cost country. ETCS, LLC can reduce a
manufacturer's total cost by not only helping to identify capable suppliers, but
supporting emerging suppliers to understand and meet a customer's
requirements.
ETCS, LLC maintains a proprietary database of capable suppliers in
emerging markets and has extensive experience in supporting the expansion
of overseas suppliers into the global automotive market.

Hurdles:
- Communication - International suppliers often lack the language skills
and ability to communicate effectively with North American customers.
- Specifications - International suppliers often lack understanding of
North American or European specifications.
- Logistics - International suppliers must meet customer's logistics
requirements and develop a reliable, cost-effective logistics chain
including warehousing near an overseas customer's factory.
- Customer Support - To properly support a customer, a supplier must
install the appropriate resources in sales, engineering and quality near
customer purchasing and engineering locations.
