How We Operate - Vina Concepts

We Strategize

At Vina-Concepts we believe that no two customers are the same. By collaborating with our customers and nurturing a team-driven working relationship, we strive to create tailored solutions that meet each of our customers individual circumstances.

By rigorously evaluating our customer’s needs and key performance targets we will develop the optimum strategy and supply chains to guarantee those expectations are met. Whether its assisting with concept design, eliminating supply chain road blocks or finding new and innovative ways to market, our qualified team of concept advocates and designers draw on a vast reservoir of product knowledge, market trends and business intelligence to deliver our customers the right products, on time and at the right price.

We Plan

In global supply chains where quality and time to market are critical, meticulous planning is the midwife of every successful business venture.

As any proponent of the Law of Murphy will tell you, even the best laid plans can go off the rails. Fortunately, at Vina-Concepts we don’t subscribe to Murphy’s Law. We follow another doctrine that says if it’s done right the first time there are no surprises. Our intimate knowledge of local governance regulations and customs, together with our proven Risk Management Protocols will have you sleeping easy each night, confident in the knowledge that your order, delivered to specification and on time, is our only priority.

We Source

We can help you find the best products and components from a diverse and established list of reputable global suppliers.

Vina-Concepts makes it its business to work only with reputable suppliers that meet our high standards of proven performance criteria. We are constantly reviewing our supplier’s operations for compliance against a checklist that ranges from Management Control Systems (SCADA/CAD/PLC, Quality Assurance and Sampling, Business and Accounting), Corporate Governance, Occupational Health & Safety, Local and International Labor Laws through to Capacity Planning and Environmental Waste Management Practices.

We Manage

We can manage the entire supply chain from product design and prototyping to final delivery.

Vina-Concepts are more than just order takers. We are no strangers to rolling up our sleeves and getting our hands dirty, involving ourselves all the way along the supply chain wherever our customers want us to be.

Concept Design

When creating a new product, the concept stage is the first step in the process. The purpose of concept design is to establish in a virtual sense, a product’s form, function and utility before engineering the new product or creating a prototype. We at Vina-Concepts can manage this process and add creative value to your design ideas. Our concept advocates and innovative designers are in tune with current market trends and fashions and can assist you with all aspects of creative design.

Order Processing

Once a purchase order is raised our team will begin the process of selecting a “best match” supplier to meet the order. Potential suppliers are evaluated against a performance matrix consisting of price, quality and estimated order completion date. We then evaluate post production supply chain options to determine the lowest cost, safest delivery and quickest turnaround from factory dispatch to customer warehouse or showroom.

Component Sourcing

Where new suppliers are appointed, or newly designed products are ordered, Vina-Concepts will involve its own local production consultants in the sourcing and selection of raw materials and components to ensure only competitively priced and highest quality materials are used in the production process. These materials and components are constantly monitored and benchmarked against global competitors to maintain preferred supplier status.

Manufacturing Milestones

Before production begins we work with our suppliers to establish quantifiable milestones from pre-production, manufacture through to inventory control. Our local production consultants are in constant dialogue with line managers to ensure daily targets are being hit.

Quality Control

To maintain the highest quality standards the bar is constantly needing to be raised. Vina-concepts works hard to assist suppliers in creating not just a set of policies and SOP but also assist in establishing a culture of quality that permeates all aspect of the business. Our production consultants are regular visitors to the factories of our suppliers and personally carry out high level quality monitoring and training.

Best (or Better) Practice?

At Vina-Concepts, we subscribe to the view that “Best Practice” is a journey and not a destination. That’s because, in globally competitive markets driven by rapid rates of technological change the goal posts are constantly shifting. We encourage our suppliers and customers instead, to work every day toward “Better Practice” through a process of continual improvement (the Japanese principle of kaizen), to adapt when conditions arise that make it necessary and to embrace change as a natural feature of today’s business landscape

We Deliver

Our supply chain solutions put certainty back into the logistics conundrum, allowing our customers to confidently plan their marketing strategies.

Our supply network operates 24/7 to get products into the hands of our customers. We can manage the process from start-to-end and smooth the bumps along the way. From ordering, manufacture, freight and lading, storage, insurance and customs clearance we have your back every step of the journey because we deliver.
