Our Team
Shanghai Industries Group's (SIG's) core team is organized into six cross-functional, on-demand teams:
Project Specialists & Project Managers
These professionals are fluent English speakers who handle the day to day communications,
project management, and information flow between our customers, and engineering
department, all the way down to production on the factory floor. Although our product
specialists are part of a team of specialists, they are ultimately 100% responsible
for the coordination of each project and oversee each from the cradle to the grave.
Product Specialists & Engineering
Our engineers specialize in a wide array of materials. Our Product Specialists work
daily in our factories developing tooling, manufacturing processes, developing testing
apparatuses, and quality assurance.
All of our tooling is fabricated in-house, helping
us reduce cost so we can pass the savings onto our customers. All of our factories
not only follow 6S, we make lean manufacturing a part of everything we do.
Our engineering
staff oversees application of 6S, lean manufacturing, and maintaining continuity
of the quality SIG is famous for in concept and on the factory floor. Our U.S. industrial engineering is responsible for patents, increasing our efficiency during product
development, and continuously looking for ways to add value to our existing products.
Production Specialists
Our production department is continually qualifying and training new factories for SIG to partner
with. The goal of SIG's production department is to keep a healthy level of competition
present at all times while maintaining centralized control
of production methods and processes.
When appropriate, we will utilize multiple-facilities for each product to maintain
control over capacity and cost. Being aware of competition not
only makes us critical of our own production, it ensures the
best value is
provided to customers at all times.
Operations & Logistics
Members of our operations and logistics department are experts in managing all aspects of shipping,
consolidation, storage and logistics needs. In 2008 alone, SIG moved over 10,000
containers to North America, Europe, South-East Asia, and South America.
Domestic Marketing & Retail
Distribution
Our exceptional
business licenses allow us to import & export, as well as sell in domestic Chinese
markets alike. Our domestic sales division includes 40 staff members dedicated to
managing domestic accounts.
SIG customers have discovered great value in utilizing our Chinese marketing channels
to bring their products into Chinese consumer markets.
Safety & Testing
SIG has a dedicated safety and testing department which works closely on a daily
basis with many internationally-recognized testing laboratories. Toys, games, electronics,
and medical supplies are some of the most-stringently tested products exported from
China.
Our safety and testing specialist are trained not only to identify issues
during or after production has been completed, but are also included in the product
development team from the beginning to help identify issues early before tooling
is fabricated and materials are selected.
This has proven to be tremendously-valuable
in saving time on projects and maintaining SIG’s reputation for supreme quality
and cost savings.
