One of the typical problem in sourcing from LCC is that , purchasers believe that the pilot batch or the sample batch has no quality issues whereas most of the production batch has quality issues. Here is what a purchaser did in sourcing from China.............
A purchaser has to source 10000 nos/month components from a LCC supplier, however is aware that the sample batches are always better than the production batch.
So he orders 10000 samples/ month ;-)
The idea behind the story is to emphasize that local presence is necessary in sourcing from China or in LCC sourcing to enhance control.
