Sourcing OEM & ODM electronics uses two distinct phases, depending on what step you are at in the process:
Phase 1 – Engineering Control, Supplier Identification, Development & Qualification
WESTROM maintains complete engineering control of your project and parts in China, from revision control of prototypes through the sample approval process. We make sure that the R&D processes that occur in the US are executed in China – assurance that critical steps are not skipped.
While we do not recommend skipping development steps or doing R&D in China, the process can be customised to your unique needs and requirements.

Phase 2 – Manufacturing Engineering, Trade Finance, Manufacturing & Delivery
Once management is transferred from Engineering Control to Buyer Control, WESTROM operates and managed the flow of products and parts from China to your shipping dock. We provide ongoing quality management, supplier management and development, plus management of the international finance and logistics.
China Purchasing Office
We utilize our buyers, engineers and QA staff in our South China office to purchase standard electrical and mechanical parts. Components are tested. Prior to shipment, we verify 100% of the product we source through our testing and quality control partner, an independent testing company.
New parts are subject to statistical quality methods. Surplus and refurbished parts are subject to 100% inspection regimes. The Quality Control processes used for your components are identical to the processes we employ for the components used in our own manufacturing.

This approach is suitable for standard components. Buyers source the components through open electronics markets, franchise distributors, independent brokers and our Chinese suppliers.
