1. Why consider sourcing overseas?
1. Profit margins are eroding - Because of increased domestic material and labor costs and the challenge to meet competitors ever improving prices, profit margins are rapidly eroding to an unacceptable level.
2. Competition is already sourcing overseas - Your competition has already improved their costs by sourcing key components overseas giving them a decided cost advantage. You have an immediate need to catch up or get ahead of what the competition has already accomplished.
3. Customers are demanding cost reductions that cannot be met. - Because domestic labor and part costs cannot be reduced any further, customer cost reduction requests are unable to be met without an erosion of profits. Without meeting these reductions or avoiding increases market share will significantly erode. 
4. Domestic Capacity is not available - If your business is growing, the capacity of the domestic supply base or your internal capacity my not be sufficient to meet your demands. Without additional supply capacity current or future orders will not be met.
5. Survival! - Your organization may have done everything possible to compete. Material cost reductions, labor efficiency improvements, labor cost reductions, more aggressive marketing plans, new products and nothing has had the impact required. Without substantial cost decreases in the very near future the very survival of your company is in question.

2. Why look at China?

Obviously there are many countries other than China that are candidates for overseas sourcing. China, however, combines advantages that are unique to the world's most populous nation. These include:

a. One of the world's lowest labor rates - Labor rates vary from about $100-$400 per month depending on the required skill.
b. Abundant indigenous raw materials - Most raw materials you will need are available in China as native products.
c. A huge well developed industrial base - China developed a highly self-sufficient industry. In the 1950s and 1960s, many large industrial facilities were built. From the perspective of a western observer there seems to be an amazing variety of factories that make the same kinds of industrial goods found in the U.S.d.A mature communications and transportation infrastructure - Fax and voice communications between the US and China is cheap and reliable. Connections via Internet are becoming more common. Ocean shipping from coastal cities is fast and reliable.A stable economy - Despite the political scrutiny the Chinese economy looks surprisingly stable from the outside looking in. Although China has experienced periods of high inflation due to double-digit growth in its economy, export prices have remained surprisingly stable. By international agreement, the ratio of Chinese Renminbi (RMB) to the U.S. dollar is held fairly constant. Quotations to US companies are almost always in US Dollars
