The problem of production of inferior goods is not peculiar to China alone, but is common in all countries where enforcement of quality control laws are not enforce.
Enforcement of quality control should start from the company. Every company should have a Quality Control Department. and they must do their job well.
Government of various countries should enforce quality control laws at various levels.
Effects of Poor Quality of Goods…
1. Customers…. Cause them to loose their clients. It can led to psycological trauma of the customers. It can ruin their business. Also, it can lead to premature death of children and adults; a case study is the delicate toys made in China for US market can caused death of various kids thus leading to withdrawal of the toys from the market.
2. Producers… They loose valued clients. It leds to reduction in their gross profit at long run. They loose age long reputation of their companies. And finally, they loose customers to their competitors
3. Country Image… Because of poor quality control in China in particular, every buyer check-out all products made or originated from China. It is a great doubt of national integrity !
In summary, quality control laws should be enforced all over the world if the world must be a safe place to live, and China should stop producing poor quality of godds called “Copy”.

Many people work as third party contracters or in purchasing offices for the companies that can afford having a sourcing office and QC System.
Can we talk about quality fade of products without talking about fading of quality in quality control system?

The first job of any quality control system is to have due diligence.

If we search the description of due diligence:

Due diligence in Supplier Quality (also known as due care) is the effort made by an SQE professional to validate conformance of product provided by the seller to the purchaser. Failure to make this effort may be considered negligence.

The aim of a quality control system is to prevent Quality Fade regardless of the root cause.

If any product reach the destination with quality the responsability of the system to prevent it comes to those who day after day are involved to detect prior to the shipment.

When the control system fails to deliver products in conformity, we can than talk about Investigative due diligence, involving a general obligation to identify true, root cause for non-compliance to meet a standard or contract requirement.

If we are talking about Quality Fade this word can only coexist with Quality Control Fade.

The lesson can be learnt from this events that Quality Control System should function without lowering the awareness, that accidents happens even when there is no bad intention.
If I am paid to control the quality in every stage of production it is my duty to make sure that Quality fade can not pass the door of the producer.

I have seen many instances where the customer supplies poor quality reference samples, incomplete drawings, unrealistic delivery timetables, or worst of all selects a Chinese manufacturer on the basis they were ‘the cheapest’. You get what you pay for in the UK, and China is no different.

While I think that the article and the post are both great, there is one thing that is not address: the fact that from day one, buyers should be actively monitoring suppliers.

If one were to leave their 5 year old on the first day of school to a room full of 5 year olds with no teacher. What would they expect in 30 days?

Many companies feel in China that the supplier can run on autopilot once they have passed that all important RFQ. that if the first sampled send by UPS is a good one, htat they all will be.

But for anyone operating in China, we all know that is not the case. That frequent visits must be made, and they always will. It is not about face, or trust, it is about risk.

There has been a lot of news lately focusing on this, and it is something that I have been covering for the last month or so on All Roads, but these are not news stories and no one should be surprised. china has for YEARS been considered the land of cheap copy/ low quality goods, and the fact that buyers do little to establish ongoing monitoring just proves how negligent they are.

Congrats on a great start. I will be adding you to my blogroll.
