Vietnam Sourcing Expert | Manufacturing & Supplier Management

I help companies build reliable supply chains—not just find suppliers. I am a Vietnam-based Supply Chain & Sourcing Manager with over 10 years of experience supporting international companies across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. My expertise covers the complete supply chain process—from supplier sourcing and procurement to production, quality control, logistics, and final delivery. Unlike many sourcing agents who simply provide supplier lists, I work as an extension of your team. I evaluate suppliers, manage execution, solve problems, and ensure your products are delivered on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards. What I can help you with Supply Chain & Procurement ✔ Procurement and purchasing support ✔ Purchase Order (PO) creation and management ✔ Supplier communication and order expediting ✔ Production planning and follow-up ✔ Inventory and order management ✔ Logistics coordination and shipping support ✔ Supplier performance management ✔ ERP/SAP purchasing workflows ✔ Supply chain risk management Product Sourcing & Supplier Development ✔ Vietnam supplier sourcing ✔ China supplier sourcing ✔ Supplier qualification and verification ✔ Factory audits and capability assessments ✔ RFQ preparation and quotation comparison ✔ Cost analysis and supplier selection ✔ MOQ, tooling, pricing, and lead-time negotiation ✔ OEM / ODM sourcing ✔ Sample development and technical follow-up Manufacturing & Project Management ✔ New product development (NPI) ✔ Production scheduling ✔ Cross-functional project coordination ✔ Quality issue resolution ✔ PPAP support ✔ Manufacturing process follow-up ✔ Inspection coordination ✔ Export documentation ✔ International shipment coordination Industries I have worked with Throughout my career, I have successfully sourced and managed suppliers across a wide range of industries, including: • CNC machining • Precision metal parts • Castings • Plastic injection molding • Rubber components • Composite materials • Furniture • Packaging • Apparel and footwear • Industrial equipment • Consumer products • Beauty packaging • Food ingredients • Agricultural products • Chemicals This broad manufacturing background allows me to quickly understand technical requirements and identify the right suppliers for different industries. My working approach I don't believe in sending random supplier lists. Every supplier recommendation is evaluated based on your specific requirements, including: • Technical capability • Manufacturing experience • Production capacity • Cost competitiveness • MOQ • Lead time • Quality systems • Export capability • Communication responsiveness • Long-term reliability Before recommending a supplier, I ask questions such as: Is this a genuine manufacturer or merely a trading company? Does the factory have proven experience producing similar products? Can they realistically achieve the target cost without sacrificing quality? Are the quoted lead times achievable? What risks might affect sampling, production, quality, or delivery? Will this supplier still be reliable when your business scales? My objective is not simply to help you place an order, but to help you build a dependable and scalable supply chain. Why clients work with me ✔ 10+ years of international purchasing and supply chain experience ✔ Strong supplier network across Vietnam and Asia ✔ Fluent English communication with overseas clients and manufacturers ✔ Hands-on factory visits and supplier verification ✔ Strong commercial negotiation and cost analysis ✔ Practical understanding of manufacturing processes ✔ Experience managing international projects from RFQ through mass production ✔ Proactive communication with clear, timely updates ✔ Detail-oriented, reliable, and committed to long-term partnerships Whether you need someone to source new suppliers, manage purchase orders, coordinate production, resolve supplier issues, or oversee your supply chain operations in Vietnam, I can become a reliable extension of your team and help ensure your business runs smoothly. Let's discuss your project and build a supply chain that supports your long-term growth.
