WordPress Milestone – ODM hits 500 blogs.

Conor — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 08:26:46 +0000

Delighted to announce that ODM have finally hit the 500 blog milestone. It’s been a lot of work and ODM would like to thank all of our authors & readers for your continued feedback and support.

We are trying to comment as much as possible on our work with Inventors, Promotional Products campaigns, our factories and what it really means to run a buying office in China.

Working with Entrepreneurs and new business start ups is a core strategy for the ODM Group. Blog Projects like sharing the complete product development case study of the Sarobag, from inception to market, are key to communicating our service and we are glad that you are along with us for the journey.

Our goal is to keep our blogs as informative as possible so that our customers and friends can use this resource for planning their business. Already, some of our key inventions have been launched on this blog due to the flexibility WordPress publishing has given us. No more waiting for Trade shows to launch new products…

What to expect for the next year of blogs?

Some of our partners around the world will write for us on their International Promotional Product campaigns. This means we will have more authors from different countries – see Brindes Brasil to get an idea of this local touch.
Our Chinese team will be giving some more pointers on manufacture and product development, manufacturing tips, Incoterms, new rules/laws in China and other International Trade requirements.
Our Quality Control team will blog about new quality requirements for products. They will also share more about factories & products they find on their journeys.
ODM will publish Monthly special offers on our Blog. This gives more business to better performing factories and we all profit from economies to scale.
More interaction between other blogs (see lists of blogs) & new social media.
We will lighten things up by reporting some fun experiences we have on our travels.

Chinese Wages & Labour-Leisure Trade offs.

Conor — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 05:55:42 +0000

Following recent trends for pay rises, Apple Supplier Foxconn last night announced a third pay rise in less than 10 days, offering its production line and senior workers in Shenzhen (S. China) a performance-based monthly increase of 800 yuan, or more than 65 per cent.

“The monthly wage for all first-line employees and their line leaders and supervisors in Shenzhen will be elevated to 2,000 yuan (Almost US$ 300) as early as October 1,” the Taiwanese firm said last night.

Overall, work conditions more than pay should have been the leading contributer to the spate of suicides for this employer. A key factor in work conditions are the work hours and associated pressure in many factories across China – ODM expect more Chinese workers to make Labour-Leisure Trade off decisions as wages increase.

So what does all this mean for companies buying from China?

Longer term, a more basic salary should allow factory workers to do less overtime for the same pay.
To keep the same production schedule companies will be forced to employ more staff driving up labour demand especially on the coast.
Products will be more expensive coming out of China.
Lead times for production will need to lengthen to take account of continued labour shortages in some areas..
Increased Automation will be applied where possible -as Robotics become more affordable than labour for more tasks.
China will loose competitive advantage for some labour intensive production to SE Asia and other markets.

Interesting times…
