Abstract :
In order to build world-class motors at competitive prices, motor manufacturers need to outsource motor components. These components include commutators, brushes, shafts, lamination stacks and magnets. Due to its low labor rate, level of technology, and abundance of raw materials, China is generally accepted as the primary source for imported motor components. This paper focuses on the general issues of sourcing in China as well as the specifics of sourcing world-class motor components
