    Explanation of the above process:

    1. All information regarding marketing is registered in our database.
    2. From that database, we select a supplier who has items we desire to
    procure, and request an estimate after consideration. Then we evaluate the submitted estimate.

    If a supplier estimate is evaluated highly:

    3. We visit the supplier to investigate general considerations such as business operations and policies. Then we judge the transaction.
    4. We inspect items required for Quality audit based on ISO9000 from the viewpoint of quality and manufacturing techniques at the same time or separately from the company investigation.
    5. We check that each part specification satisfies our design specifications, and decide whether or not it is acceptable.
    At this time, we ask the supplier to submit a sample, approval drawing and documents related to certification already acquired.
    6. We then test each part to be procured regarding its reliability, compare supplier's guaranteed performance with our demands, and decide whether or not it is acceptable.
    At this time, we ask the supplier to submit a sample and the supplier's test results.
    7. When inspection and evaluation are acceptable, we negotiate with supplier in respect to transaction contents.
    8. Contract is concluded formally.
    9. Mass-production prototype is tested using actual machine.
    10. Formal mass production is requested.
    11. For regular transactions, parts performance is checked from the point of view of quality, cost, delivery and service.
    12. Regular audit is conducted.
    13. When contents of regular transaction and results of regular audit are suitable, we request a new estimate.

    Program Management

       Once we have selected a Manufacturing Partner or if your company already has a Manufacturing Partner, management of the relationship, engineering, manufacturing, quality assurance, shipping, general logistics, and day-to-day issues that "DO" arise is mission critical. Your companies revenues are "dependent" on the success of your manufacturing operations!


    Blue Planet Group has the experience to fully understand your expectations and requirements of your manufacturing partner. Blue Planet Group will work with your Headquarters Project/Engineering/Operations Management Staff to assure that your products are engineered, manufactured, packaged, and shipped as ordered.

    Finally, Blue Planet Group can, if empowered by the agreement between your company and your manufacturing partner, Audit the procurement of components, manufacturing process, quality assurance, and shipping procedures.





    Triangle Trade

    As globalization progresses, new tools of international trade evolve. It is not uncommon for a company to design a product in one country, manufacture in another and sell it to yet another country. Many times in the past the goods would actually be physically sent for warehousing before being sent to another part of the world. The trader knew of no other way to keep his customers from knowing his sources.

    Triangle trade, switch document, third party trade all refer to a similar type of traffic that is increasing very fast, yet many parties that could benefit from it do not know it exists or is possible.

    Features and Benefits

    • involves 3 or more parties
    • is completely ethical and legal
    • allows the controller to keep the supplier and buyer from knowing each other if so desired
    • allows the controller to send goods directly from the country of origin to the country of consumption, many times the controller lives in a completely different country.
    • allows the controller to keep control of his goods even though he may never see the goods
    • allows the controller to control the buy and sell rates.



    Blue Planet Group and Hellmann Freight Forwarding deliver quality, experienced logistics/forwarding services to manage Triangle Trade. Blue Planet Group and Hellmann will make sure that documents are properly prepared, destroyed when necessary and understand the anonymity involved. Blue Planet Group and Hellmann know all the parties involved and maintain professional ethics.

    One detail that must be recognized is that it is illegal to possess more than one set of documents for one shipment. And the origin and destination can not be changed, i.e., it is fraud to dummy a certificate of origin, i.e., claim a shipment came from USA even thought the cargo never landed upon USA soil. Therefore, a buyer will know what country the goods originated in; however, this is rarely a problem.

    Manufacturing Partner Sourcing

    If your company is searching for skilled, cost effective manufacturing facilities, then maybe a manufacturing partner in China is a solution.
