Coordinate the details across your production journey
A manufacturing project involves more than choosing a supplier. Keep requirements, production decisions, quality expectations, and delivery planning connected.
| Project consideration | What to clarify | What suppliers may confirm | Project coordination |
|---|---|---|---|
| DFM & CAD Engineering | Part function, drawings, tolerances, and open design questions | Process fit, tooling needs, and quotation assumptions | Keep design review and next actions with the project brief |
| On-Site Quality Assurance | Acceptance criteria and inspection points | Available checks, records, and timing | Agree on a quality plan that fits the product and order |
| IP & Design Protection | Which files or design details are confidential | Supplier confidentiality process and documents | Discuss documentation and file handling before sharing designs |
| Pricing Transparency | Target quantities, setup costs, tooling, and included services | Price assumptions, exclusions, and validity period | Review quotation scope and compare like-for-like options |
| Payment & Escrow Protection | Payment stages, currency, and remedy terms | Payment schedule and applicable commercial terms | Confirm agreed terms before placing an order |
| Freight & Consolidation | Destination, shipment size, Incoterms, and delivery date | Packing details, dispatch options, and shipping documents | Coordinate delivery planning alongside production milestones |
Plan quality checks around the product
Inspection methods and timing depend on the product, supplier, and order. Agree on requirements and acceptance criteria before production begins.
First Article Inspection (FAI)
Review sample parts against the agreed drawings, dimensions, finish, and functional requirements.
During production
Where included in the agreed plan, check production progress and selected process or assembly requirements.
Pre-shipment inspection
The inspection sample, acceptance criteria, and timing should be agreed before the goods are ready to ship.
Container Loading Check (CLS)
If required, define loading supervision and shipment checks alongside the selected shipping arrangement.
