Tom, an entrepreneur from Europe and America, runs a high - end medical device company. At that time, a batch of key components for the company's new - type cardiac pacemaker urgently needed to be processed. The raw material was titanium alloy, and the processing technology requirements were extremely high, with an accuracy requirement of 0.01 mm.
At first, Tom outsourced this important CNC machining project to a factory in Gujarat, India. This factory was quite well - known locally, and Tom had high hopes for it.
However, right at the beginning of the project, the Indian factory exposed the problem of uneven employee quality. The employees in charge of programming had a poor understanding of the new processing technology, resulting in frequent programming errors. To solve this urgent problem, Tom had to send technical experts from Europe and America for on - site guidance, which greatly increased the cost.
Subsequently, infrastructure problems emerged one after another. Power outages were frequent in the local area of India, and the factory's backup generator did not have enough power to operate all machine tools simultaneously. They could only adopt the method of rotational processing, which seriously affected the production progress.
Religious issues also came along. Due to the numerous local religious festivals, many workers left their posts without permission to participate in celebration activities, leading to production stagnation. Tom communicated with the factory manager many times about this, but with little effect.
Even worse, the government efficiency was extremely low. When the factory needed to import a batch of high - precision cutting tools, the approval process of the government department was cumbersome and lengthy, delaying for several weeks and seriously affecting the processing accuracy of the parts.
In addition, the environmental protection measures of this Indian factory were extremely imperfect. During the processing, a large amount of industrial wastewater was discharged directly without effective treatment, causing serious pollution to the surrounding rivers and emitting a bad smell. Nearby residents complained a lot and even organized protests, which also disturbed the production of the factory to a certain extent.
Although Tom and his team tried every possible means to overcome one temporary difficulty after another, the decisive factor that crushed him finally emerged. In a processing operation of the Indian factory, due to operational errors, a large batch of milled parts were scrapped, which directly affected the delivery time of the entire project.
Tom realized that continuing to cooperate with this Indian factory would bring irreparable losses to his company. So, he decisively decided to transfer the project to China. After some investigation, he chose a professional factory located in Guangdong, China - Dongguan Fuzhan Electronics. This factory has advanced equipment and a high - quality technical team.
In China, a completely different scene unfolded from the start. The technicians had in - depth communication with Tom, quickly understood his needs, and formulated a detailed production plan. The factory's infrastructure was complete, the power supply was stable, and there was almost no situation where production was affected by power outages. The employees strictly followed the rules and regulations, worked seriously and responsibly, the processing technology was exquisite, and the accuracy fully met the requirements.
In terms of environmental protection, this Chinese factory has strict standards and norms. Industrial wastewater undergoes multiple treatment processes and is discharged only after meeting the discharge standards. The factory also actively adopts energy - saving equipment and processes to reduce the impact on the environment. When encountering some minor technical problems, the technical team can respond quickly and jointly discuss solutions.
Finally, this batch of key CNC - machined parts for the cardiac pacemaker was delivered on time and with high quality. Tom's company successfully launched the new cardiac pacemaker and achieved great success in the market. Since then, Tom has established a long - term and stable cooperative relationship with this Chinese factory, and his business has also been thriving.
