Preparing a Second Source for Wipes and Microfibre Cloths
If your main supplier missed a shipment, how ready would your second source actually be?
For cleaning wipes and microfibre cloths, I would check more than a backup quotation:
• Has the product been evaluated for its intended task?
• Are the specifications and packaging agreed?
• Are the trial quantity and production lead time workable?
• What still needs approval before an order can be placed?
An approved sample is useful, but I would also clarify what a small trial needs to prove—and how the results will be reviewed.
My view: a benchmark is a starting point. The next step is understanding what it would take to turn that comparison into a workable supply option.
That preparation can happen while the existing supplier relationship continues.
What usually takes longest in your approval process: product testing, packaging, or internal sign-off?
