Quality Control

Designs Midwest Hong Kong was established to control the manufacturing process in China. Our experienced staff help to minimize the problems that can occur when conducting business with Asian factories and vendors.

Does this sound familiar??

Parts of products are not built to the specifications of your engineering data.
Approval samples are received and approved but production shipments are manufactured to lower standards and quality.
There is a "communications blackout". No one returns emails or messages, or nobody speaks English.
Original price quotations suddenly change and rise in cost.
Parts have been shipped, but nobody knows where they are or why there is a delay in deliver.
You've received another company's products instead of yours.
Packages received are delivered in sub-standard packing materials and arrived damaged.
Off the shelf components that are sourced, are not to correct specifications given, although stated as a direct equivalant.
Incorrect or undesired quantities are delivered.
Products or components are manufactured poorly or out of tolerance, but shipped anyway
Tooling you own and have paid for is used for a competitor's product.

How we can help!

If you have experienced any of the above while dealing with Chinese and other Asian Companies, then Designs Midwest can help you. We pride ourselves in putting you, the customer, first and the factories we contract second. We do not represent any one factory and therefore are not paid by any factory to promote only their business. We represent only you, the customer.

We can arrange and manage the logistics completely and directly to our customer's dock. Our forwarding agents stay in contact and give complete shipping time tables and update to the shipping status.

Problems are quickly resolved

We would love to state that with all of our structuring we do not see problems or mistakes and that all of our manufacturers are perfect but of course, that is not true! Our vendors do make the occasional mistake, but our Kansas City and Shenzhen offices quickly coordinate to find a quick and feasible solution to resolve the issue. We also assure that the problem has been documented with the factory and does not reoccur in the future.
