OneMonroe Minute Podcast | Sourcing Process
Our process begins with extensive research on potential vendors. We meticulously evaluate their quality, reliability, and overall capabilities to ensure they meet our stringent standards. This includes site visits, audits, and a thorough review of their production processes. We look for vendors who not only meet our current needs but also have the potential to scale and adapt with us as our requirements evolve.
Once potential vendors are identified, we negotiate prices and contracts to secure the best possible terms. Our goal is to establish mutually beneficial relationships that are fair and competitive. These negotiations are comprehensive, covering everything from pricing structures to delivery schedules and quality control measures. We aim to create agreements that foster long-term partnerships based on trust and transparency.
Continuous monitoring and improvement are integral parts of our sourcing process. We regularly assess vendor performance through key metrics such as on-time delivery rates, defect rates, and responsiveness to issues. This ongoing evaluation helps us identify areas for improvement and work collaboratively with our vendors to implement necessary changes. Our commitment to maintaining strong, productive relationships with our vendors ensures that we can consistently provide our customers with top-notch products and services.
The complexity and dynamic nature of our sourcing process demand a high level of expertise and experience. OneMonroe's dedicated sourcing team possesses the knowledge and skills required to navigate this intricate landscape, ensuring we remain agile and responsive to the needs of our customers. Through our rigorous sourcing process, we uphold our commitment to quality, reliability, and excellence in everything we do.
Manufacturing Excellence
We have partnered with many carefully selected manufacturers in various regions of Asia. We consistently monitor and grade their quality, delivery, communication, value, etc. Our office in Shanghai regularly visits the factories to keep tabs on projects and overall performance. Our US staff also regularly visits factories for the same reasons. We partner with a premier US based supplier auditing firm with offices throughout Asia to conduct secondary audits on factories, as well as secondary inspections on specific projects.
We do not stop in Asia; we are always working to find the best value in manufacturing throughout the globe. We are currently working on developing partnerships with factories inother low-cost regions of Asia, Mexico, South America, and the USA. Read More
Exceptional Quality
Our staff carefully develops a CFIR (Critical Features Inspection Requirement) program for every product we manufacture. This is a collaboration of our quality and engineering team here in the US working with customers to ensure we have detailed drawings, tolerances, and features all clearly documented so that all parties (customer, Ryadon, factory, inspection team) are 100% on the same page to eliminate any disparity along the way. The factory employs these documents during and after production to ensure the product meets all requirements prior to shipping. These same documents are then referenced by our RI Team (Receiving Inspection) here in US to double check once more before product is repackaged and shipped to you, our customer. Read More
Reliable & Timely Delivery
Global logistics require careful foresight, we employ the best planning practices to ensure that product is delivered according to customers’ demands. One size does not fit all, every customer has different needs for schedules, inventory levels, forecasts, spikes, delivery methods, etc. We accommodate customers across a wide range of requirements; our planning practices provide significant value services to customers eliminating many of their own associated administrative costs. Some customers simply take product order-to-order in given lead times, while others provide us with periodic projections and we build a pipeline of product from raw materials, to production, to shipping, to stock, to dock, all in a hands off approach. They have the comfort of knowing that year round all the items we manufacture for them are always in stock at their facility at the right level, all of the time. Read More
