PROCESS & QUALITY
Document the requirement. Check the evidence. Decide before handover.
A six-stage workflow gives buyers defined review points from the first RFQ through supplier selection, production, inspection and shipment coordination.
01 / RFQ
Review the purchasing brief
Confirm product description, drawings or reference images, quantities, target market, packaging, timing and destination. Missing assumptions are documented before sourcing begins.
02 / SEARCH
Search and screen suppliers
Identify candidate manufacturers, request relevant company and product information, and remove obvious mismatches before detailed quotation work.
03 / COMPARE
Compare quotations and samples
Align quotation assumptions, coordinate sample work where required and make differences visible before the buyer chooses a supplier.
04 / PRODUCE
Follow production milestones
Record the agreed basis of production, collect milestone updates and escalate reported changes that need buyer approval.
05 / INSPECT
Inspect against the agreed scope
Review selected product, quantity, workmanship and packaging criteria. Report observations with evidence and identify items that require acceptance, rework or further investigation.
06 / HANDOVER
Consolidate and coordinate shipping
Coordinate shipment readiness and handover information after the buyer’s release decision. Logistics timing and customs outcomes remain subject to the responsible providers and authorities.
QUALITY PRINCIPLES
Inspection supports a decision; it does not replace product engineering.
The inspection scope must be appropriate to the product and commercial risk. Testing, certification or specialist laboratory work is coordinated separately when required.
- Agree criteria before inspection
- Separate observations from assumptions
- Provide supporting images where practical
- Escalate deviations for buyer decision
