As a people-focused supply chain consultancy, Kinyu values a team of managers with broad manufacturing experience across diverse product ranges.
Therefore, we are delighted to welcome Mani Chu to Kinyu SCM. She will lead our Streamline Operation, a part-time project management service designed for companies not yet ready to hire full-time personnel in China.
13 Years of Intl Trade Experience
Mani grew up in Foshan Shunde during a furniture manufacturing boom, making her no stranger to the factory floor. She brings 13 years of international trade experience to Kinyu SCM. Her expertise spans procurement, supply chain and sales departments in factories, trading companies and foreign sourcing firms. Mani’s product knowledge covers electronics, automotive and home goods. This diverse background provides her with deep insights into managing complex supply chains.
“The focus on people and HR in the supply chain is a new and innovative direction that not many companies within the manufacturing industry specialise in,” Chu said. “I feel empowered to bring my skills, knowledge and resources to Kinyu SCM and solve the China challenges together with our clients.”
She added, “Working with people across China with different skillsets, personalities and product experience has been very fulfilling – I really enjoy the human aspect of the China Desk service.”
“Mani’s experience ‘across the floor,’ including foreign buyer/China supplier working environments, puts her in a unique position to communicate the needs of both parties,” said Benjamin King, CEO of Kinyu SCM. “We are fortunate to have someone with such broad experience, with knowledge not only in multiple manufacturing processes but also in HR and people management.”
King added, “At Kinyu we focus on the people and their skills – and Mani represents just that.”
Mani will manage our team of Streamline Operators. These are experienced professionals employed full-time by Kinyu and allocated to projects across various organizations and product categories. Mani is a certified National Senior Human Resource Manager. Her expertise will ensure the team is motivated and well-equipped to handle China manufacturing projects.
Flexible China Manufacturing Support
At Kinyu, we recognize that not every project or supply chain requires a full-time position in China. However, on-site support can be the difference between a successful and a failing China operation. Our Streamline offering provides part-time flexibility without the typical drawbacks of loose arrangements. Moreover it offers the advantages of a full-time employee in China, but without the long-term commitment. As a result, clients can engage a well-trained team member for as little as five hours a week, giving their operation the boost it needs.
With Mani at the helm, our team members will be well-trained, managed and prepared to work on your projects.
Welcome to the team, Mani!
