Cost Of Manufacturing Details Of Machine Tools In China/korea/taiwan Vs India

You have to get quotes from manufactures in each country, that is the only way to compare apples to apples. You will get differences in prices from part to part, so part A may be cheaper in Korea but part B may be cheaper in china. There are problems dealing with each country but nothing that cannot be overcome.

They asked for costs of manufacture. Not Prices.

Industrial secrets kind of stuff.

Typically you can expect less quality and commercial problems with Korea or Taiwan.

It is possible to get first quality out of India or China but it doesn't happen by accident. You either pay a higher price for a top line company or do a lot of QC work on you own for those two.

simple get specifications of an item similar to what you want.

and send the same specifications to to manufacturers in all of the countries you mentioned and compare the results

to get a true figure you specs must be the same for all countries

Some places they spend a lot of effort making sure they meet or exceed those specs.

Other places they spend even more effort trying to determine how to come close enough to but not exceeding the spec.

I remember one time we were sitting on 50,000 MT of plate for a pipeline due to the customer rejecting the lot when he realized the spec was being challenged. That can get messy and expensive.

There are great attitude differences between countries that make a comparison a bit tricky.
