中集開始。

皮的破損就如同球被打破的狀況一樣。這是製造的問題和瑕疵。如果數量超過個位數字就很扯。我估計是因為Costco需要的數量很大，同時產線負載有可能超過，導致品質瑕疵超過極限。不過也可以瞭解Kirkland的技術水平到哪個地方。其實有這樣問題是說明他們技術在urethane這塊還有很大不足。

這個問題其實台灣的製球工廠也有一樣的狀況和問題。只是Costco一年要下100萬打數量，其他工廠做這類urethane的球數量可能不到1/3，所以出問題的機會和比例都不高。更重要台灣這些代工的製造商他們的客人都不是像Costco那樣要求如此的高。

大家應該不知道，接這種客人的單最麻煩。雖然有量但卻沒有利潤。他們裡頭的人把成本算得一清二楚，工廠幾乎沒有太大利潤。而且還有承擔問題和所有出錯成本。是血汗錢！所以我一律不接大的OEM訂單。只要一出事，前面賺的就都不夠賠！

大家看Costco好像很不錯，危機處理得當，但這都不是他們的成本，當然做的到位和氣派。我有其他朋友也接Costco的訂單，也說他們需要你的時候，嘴臉是不一樣。因為這些產品開發人員有責任和quota。好賣的會和製造商追加訂單，同時價格也往下壓。接也不是，不接也不是。但有實力的工廠多半不會做。因為條款太嚴苛，利潤差。

去年也聽朋友說；Costco來找高爾夫球代工廠做urethane的球。但能做的多半拒絕。因為數量大，價格不好。要接它的訂單還要照它的要求，也要擴大產能，這些投資都是要先做。如果哪天它不推高爾夫球，你擴大的儀器設備都沒了。投資就打水漂了！

Costco issues refund for Kirkland 4pc ball！Part II

Cover cracked is the same as ball broken that is unacceptable in golf ball manufacture. It's serious issue in golf ball manufacturing that tells you the manufacturing technology, quality control, recipe and so on with problems. I think it's due to over capacity demand from Costco and it really over loads the production quality control. Of course, the urethane cover has the difficulty to deal with big quantity loading.

Through this issue that I can know the level of Kirkland ball manufacturing skills and capability, the crosslinking between the cover and mid layer has the issue in production. The urethane cover recipe needs to adjust to make the cover more durable and stronger. Actually, these problems are also happened in Taiwanese golf ball makers in urethane cover. Since most of Asian golf ball makers are barely to produce over 10 millions of urethane balls per year and it's hard to know the issues of over loading and crosslinking damages.

Most of Asian manufacturers know to take the orders like Costco and big chain stores is very risky and low profits. Since they will calculate the cost and profits very details and make the serious manufacturing agreement with makers in Asia, the factories need to build and reinvest the capacity to produce mass productions for the demands. If the customer cancels the order, these investment is gone without compensation. No mention on the later high risky on manufacturing with the mistakes or problems that will be responsible by the makers.

My friend was one of the suppliers for Costco and if your products sell well, Costco will increase the quantity and try to decrease the prices. Couple times later, my friend rejects the order from Costco since there is no profit to make and lots of responsibility to carry. It's not good deal to take. That's similar with my strategy that is avoided to take OEM big orders. If you screw up one case, it will eat out all your profits for previous cases.

Last year I heard peers in golf ball industry that Costco was looking for the golf ball makers to work with urethane golf ball cases. As a result, no one would like to take it since most of the factories were unable to meet the capacity of the demand and the investment of new productions is high without good profits for return on investment.
