The Sourcing Risks Buyers Tell Us About
Buyers arrive here after being burned by one of three patterns: a trading company that cannot answer engineering questions, a factory that quotes cheap but ships mismatched motor/controller pairs, or a supplier that misses lead time on production runs. Our job is to remove those risks, not argue about them.
- Traders with no workshop — you cannot audit them and cannot escalate when quality drifts
- Mismatched motor and controller pairs — commutation problems show up on the production floor
- Unstable lead time — one shipment arrives on week 4, the next on week 10
- Vague QA — no individual test record, no traceability when a batch fails
