Unfamiliar with Chinese materials, how can I choose Chinese materials? | The third story of equipment buyers
After the meeting on Monday, Walter began the investigation on how to select materials. From the past project experience, he knew that Chinese mills can produce American Standard, European standard, Chinese standard material. Of course, if the Chinese standard materials can be used, the design, manufacture, quality and other aspects will be more convenient, but what about performance, and how about cost changes?
 

 
 
Walter found the "material contrast" function on the process equipment network, which including American Standard, European standard, Japanese standard, with Chinese performance data, and made a comparison table. This can basically solve the future design and project material timber needed
 

Walter found "market price" function, this can search American Standard, the latest price of China materials, such materials can according to company standard materials to compare the cost analysis. At the same time, there are hundreds of suppliers of materials and components on the process equipment network, so suppliers seem easy to be found.
 

At this point, Walter's inner doubts came up again, When cooperating with Chinese customers, Chinese customers are very cautious about materials. It is said that Different Chinese suppliers have a big gap in quality. How to avoid the trap of poor quality has become a problem of Chinese procurement. He tried to contact with the platform service staff, after submitted , the platform service staff quickly responded: the problem which Walter worried about does exist in the China, The platform has made a basic reputation audit for the registered suppliers, This basically can rest assured. If necessary, the platform can also provide a list of recommended suppliers for reference, and these vendors have been accepted by many foreign companies.
 
 
 
Walter once again carding out all the questions and answers that he cared about, He believes that through the process equipment network has basically implemented the "made in China, Chinese materials" program, and is expected to save about 10%  cost of materials。Of course, Walter will bring back some samples to the United States for further testing as soon as the first test list is made.
