<strong>Business</strong> Issues <strong>and</strong> Considerations<br />

<strong>Management</strong>, Control<br />

<strong>and</strong> quality insurance<br />

UK companies use a variety of quality<br />

assurance <strong>and</strong> management-control<br />

techniques in <strong>Taiwan</strong>. These include<br />

extensive travelling by UK personnel, a<br />

controlling or liaison presence in <strong>Taiwan</strong><br />

<strong>and</strong> providing extensive training <strong>and</strong><br />

management for <strong>Taiwan</strong>ese staff. It is<br />

important not to allow milestones to slip<br />

by, whether these are attending a board<br />

meeting in a joint venture, or arranging<br />

a quality audit at a supplier.<br />

Particular attention to detail should be<br />

paid when sourcing products from <strong>Taiwan</strong>.<br />

Specifications can be easily misunderstood,<br />

so they need to be very clearly explained<br />

<strong>and</strong> agreed, <strong>and</strong> a quality-management<br />

system put in place with the <strong>Taiwan</strong>ese<br />

company. Consultancies can undertake all<br />

or part of this process on your behalf.<br />
