Credit of domestic equipment manufacturers
Thread Content
I took on a project abroad and ordered heat exchangers in China. The initial stages went smoothly, and I also conducted inspections; the scale of the project was quite good. According to the schedule, the hydrostatic tests for the shell side and tube side should be carried out now; the foreign owner has also indicated that they want to come to the site for inspection. This information has been passed on to the manufacturer, who stated that everything is proceeding as planned and there are no issues. By the time the foreign owners and their staff had booked their flights and hotels and were on the plane heading to the country, and information was sent to the manufacturer, they hesitantly said that it needed to be postponed by a week. I almost fainted from stress; if you’re behind schedule, just say so. It creates an embarrassing situation and gives a very bad impression of us to foreigners, and we end up suffering as a result. Hey, how could this happen? Has anyone else had a similar experience? Or are we just an individual case with bad luck. Chinese manufacturers, keep it up! (We all have to learn from this experience. We must keep a close eye on “China Maker”.) Excerpt
We encounter this situation often too; sometimes it drives us crazy! Domestic equipment really needs to step up its efforts; it’s not easy to say I love you! ! !
I have worked on several projects, and all the equipment specified was **internal equipment; contract delays are something that happens frequently. To this end, the project schedule needs to be revised several times, and the final version can only be determined after all project equipment and major materials arrive. There’s really nothing to do.
A beginner who’s here to learn* – there are actually things like this.
Ugh~ You’re really unlucky; the reputation of Chinese manufacturers is gradually improving these days
This situation is common; currently, the domestic manufacturing industry has not yet got on track.
Hehe, for heat exchangers, get in touch with me; a company owned by one of my friends is definitely legitimate
I’ve also encountered problematic suppliers, and they were domestic pumps as well. It stated that it was a six-pole motor, but upon arrival I saw that it was a four-pole motor. The pump head is one size smaller. No returns are allowed; if you want a replacement, you need to pay extra. There are also those whose performance does not match the specifications on the nameplate, those who delay delivery, and those who delay issuing invoices; there’s always something new. But with foreign brands, such a situation has never occurred; the performance and usage details are clearly specified before signing the contract, and what arrives matches those specifications. Domestic product; it’s not easy to say I love you.
Indeed, domestic equipment needs improvement in many aspects
Finding qualified and stable supply relationships requires significant investment. Currently, the manufacturers in this industry are of varying quality – some are good while others are not. If, through carelessness, the wrong choice is made, it becomes very difficult to solve the problem. This isn’t something that happens frequently, but it certainly occurs from time to time. Therefore, supplier evaluation in the early stages is crucial, and process control must also be effectively implemented. Changes in the current situation will occur slowly, but for the sake of one’s own business, it is more practical to start making improvements from oneself first.
Is it true that the level of importance varies depending on the industry? I work for a pharmaceutical company; we are the absolute leaders in sales. If we can’t manage production, we will face criticism and have our money deducted
