Which kinds of products are suitable for Taiwan/China Manufacturing?
Products including quantity, tooling and labor intensity are suitable for Taiwan/China Manufacturing.
Quantity: volume is king in China, and lot size is the first thing we will need to know. In general outsourcing makes only sense when the order size is at least a container, order amount at least US$ 5,000, below that transport and management overheads are too high.
Labor Intensity: the more labor involved in assembling and packaging the product the more money we can save you.
Tooling intensity: we can save you a significant amount of money on tooling, so if tooling amortization is high because you make only 1500 units a year you should talk to us.
Will manufacturing in Taiwan/China save
me money?
We always advise our client to analyze the Total Cost of production, being
unit costs, management costs, cost of delayed shipments, cost of non-conforming
units etc.
Some people delude themselves thinking that they are saving 50% buying
in China, forgetting to account the cost and time they incur invest every
time they have fly over to sort out some problem.
In general the quantity / dollar value has to be high enough to make it
worth the extra management time and attention that is invariably required.

Will using Runner add cost?
Yes. We add a small percentage to the cost, depending on volume. But the reason clients go via us is that they save on the Total Cost, as explained above.
