Perhaps you could try to search the terms on the internet using http://cn.yahoo.com or http://www.google.com.hk. If you search 来料加工词汇, the following websites would come up ->

Wow! Some of the useless terms I see at work are finally going to come in useful.

来样订货 - to order goods from a manufacturer on the basis of a sample. Ie, you take one pair of trainers to a shoe factory and ask them to make 1000 pairs of identical trainers.

来料加工 - when a manufacturer makes goods for a client, using materials supplied by the client.

They're both business terms - they're things companies do, not people.

Unfortunately, I've forgotten how to say this properly in English. And I got so excited I didn't notice Skylee's websites.
