After spring festival, Boss went to HQ to ask for some orders.Because sales of us didn't open local market.All company employees are free.
While Boss first time visiting was failure.He was back without saying anything.Then after two weeks later, he went to HQ again.Unfortunately the second time visiting was worse.
When he was in HQ and he was confident to tell us most possible that he would get the order.He asked purchaser communicated with local suppliers about the price. Then we contacted with suppliers about the possible order and collected the price after bargaining hard.
But later Boss was back and similar to last time without saying anything.Then purchaser asked his boss in HQ and knew the result was not expecting. HQ asked us to update the drawing.
Of course another hand,the local suppliers phoned to us about the order beginning date. I can't tell how many times the same thing happens.
How do we face local suppliers? And how do we control supplier including quality management?
I am embarrassing.
