30-Day Pilot Programs for China Supplier Control

Start with 1–2 existing suppliers or a small supplier group. ONESC verifies the real situation, creates an action-control rhythm and shows whether longer-term China-side supply chain management is justified.

Supply Chain Control Pilot

USD 3,800–6,800

For existing supplier groups or multiple open issues. Includes baseline review, weekly KPI/control view, risk list and long-term scope recommendation.

Pilot credit optionIf you continue into a long-term ONESC operating service agreement, the pilot fee can be credited toward the first service period.
Scope note

Final fee is agreed before work starts.

Third-party costs separate

Travel, inspection, warehouse, testing or consolidation resources are quoted separately when required.

Who this is for

The pilot is for buyers who need control before they commit to a long-term engagement.

The goal is not to sell a large program immediately. The goal is to test whether ONESC can create visibility, discipline and supplier action closure within 30 days.

The pilot is a good fit if:

  • You already have China suppliers but delivery, quality or response discipline is unstable.
  • Supplier updates are hard to verify from overseas.
  • Open quality, tooling, material or shipment actions are not closing fast enough.
  • You want a China-side team but need evidence before committing long term.
  • You want KPI baselines before setting annual improvement targets.

The pilot is not the right first step if:

  • You only need a quick supplier list or one-time RFQ support.
  • You are not ready to share supplier, order or open-action information.
  • You expect guaranteed KPI improvement before baseline review.
  • You need immediate large-scale supplier replacement without a transition plan.
  • You want ONESC to act as a trading company or freight forwarder.
4-week pilot structure

Thirty days to see the operating picture clearly.

Each week has a specific purpose: establish the baseline, create control, track movement and decide whether a long-term ONESC model is justified.

01Week 1

Baseline

Understand suppliers, orders, risks and KPI rules.

  • Supplier and order map
  • Open-action list
  • Delivery and quality risk review
  • Initial KPI baseline logic
02Week 2

Control

Move from scattered updates to assigned owners and evidence checks.

  • Owner and due-date assignment
  • Supplier follow-up rhythm
  • Evidence requirements
  • Escalation rules
03Week 3

Track

Track delivery, quality, cost and shipment readiness through a weekly control view.

  • OTIF risk view
  • FPA / quality action view
  • Shipment-readiness check
  • Blocked-action review
04Week 4

Decide

Review findings, KPI gaps and whether a long-term operating model is justified.

  • Pilot summary
  • KPI baseline recommendation
  • Long-term scope options
  • Continue / adjust / stop decision
Pilot deliverables

What you should receive by the end of 30 days.

The deliverables should be useful even if you decide not to continue. That is important: the pilot must produce operating clarity, not just a sales proposal.

Output package

Evidence first. Proposal second.

ONESC should earn the right to continue by showing a clearer view of your supplier execution, open actions and KPI risks.

01

Supplier operating map

Current suppliers, order status, key risks and communication structure.

02

Open-action tracker

Owners, due dates, issue status, required evidence and blocked actions.

03

KPI baseline view

Initial OTIF, FPA and controllable cost tracking logic based on available data.

04

Weekly control report

Performance movement, evidence checks, escalation status and next actions.

05

Risk and recovery list

Late delivery, quality, material, tooling, document and shipment-readiness risks.

06

Long-term recommendation

Whether ONESC should continue, what scope is justified and which KPIs to manage.

Proof materials

The pilot should replace verbal status with field evidence.

Use real photos, short clips, blurred reports and anonymized trackers when available. Visual evidence matters because buyers need to know ONESC is operating on the ground, not only forwarding messages.

Supplier evidence

Materials and sample status

Component, sample, tooling or inventory status checked against the pilot baseline.

Control evidence

Weekly KPI view

OTIF, FPA, open actions, owners, due dates and escalation status summarized each week.

Decision evidence

Continue, adjust or stop

The pilot ends with evidence-based recommendations for long-term operating scope.

Scope boundary

What the 30-day pilot includes — and what it does not include.

A clear boundary makes the pilot credible. The pilot should not promise a full supply chain transformation in 30 days.

Included

  • Existing supplier and order review
  • Open-action tracking and owner assignment
  • Supplier follow-up and evidence requests
  • Initial KPI baseline and reporting rhythm
  • Risk, escalation and recovery-action view
  • Long-term engagement recommendation

Not included by default

  • Guaranteed KPI improvement before baseline is agreed
  • Full supplier replacement or large-scale transition
  • Trading company role or purchase resale model
  • Freight-forwarding responsibility
  • Tooling / NPI / CKD / SKD integration unless separately scoped
  • Warehouse or inspection cost unless project-based resources are approved

The final decision is evidence-based.

At the end of 30 days, the buyer should know whether ONESC creates enough operating clarity and action discipline to justify a long-term China supply chain team model.

Option 1Continue with long-term KPI management
Option 2Adjust scope before continuing
Option 3Stop after pilot with findings delivered
FAQ

Questions buyers ask before starting a pilot.

Do we need to change suppliers during the pilot?

No. The recommended pilot starts with your existing suppliers. Supplier development or transition can be added later if the pilot shows it is necessary.

What information is needed to start?

Basic supplier list, current orders, delivery expectations, open quality or production issues, shipment priorities and any existing KPI or report data.

Will suppliers cooperate with ONESC?

ONESC should be introduced as the buyer’s China-side operating team. The pilot defines communication rhythm, evidence requirements and escalation rules with suppliers.

Does the pilot guarantee improvement?

No. The pilot establishes visibility, baseline and action discipline. Improvement targets should be agreed only after the baseline and measurement exclusions are clear.

Can the pilot include warehouse or inspection support?

Yes, if the project requires it. Warehouse, inspection, consolidation or port coordination should be scoped as project-based resources, not assumed by default.

What happens after 30 days?

You decide whether to continue, adjust the scope or stop. If continuing, ONESC proposes a long-term operating model, KPI targets and team structure.

Can the pilot fee be credited toward a long-term agreement?

Yes. If you continue into a long-term ONESC operating service agreement, the pilot fee can be credited toward the first service period.

Start with your existing China suppliers.

Use the 30-day pilot to see whether ONESC can create the control, evidence and KPI visibility your supply chain needs.
