Gettting
information about right manufacturers/suppliers
|
 |
Contacting
those manufacturers / suppliers by fax / phone /
email
|
 |
Receiving
quotations and comparing them
|
 |
Finalise
on manufacturers / suppliers and then check his
credibility and ability to fullfill your requirements
|
 |
If the
manufacturer/supplier is credible then place the
order. [If not, repeat the process from Step 2]
|
 |
Repeat
all the above steps every time for each product.
|
 |
The time
consuming in each process is very high and it increases
the communication costs as well
|
 |
While
sourcing on your own you do not get all your requirement
from one single source, this means dealing with
different parties
|
 |
Different
parties use different shipping lines-- which again
increases hassles
|
 |
You have
to track all your incoming consignments differently
|
 |
You have
to remember to pay the bills to different parties
on different dates...
