Quality Process

Agree quality requirements before production

During technical review, we align the drawing and specifications, material and heat treatment, the inspection plan, and whether first-article or pre-production approval is needed. In-process checks, final inspection and shipment documents follow the project agreement.

Send the latest drawing with the RFQ and mark critical characteristics and acceptance requirements.

Before Production

Agree four points in writing

Record them in the quotation, order or another project document accepted by both sides to avoid mismatched revisions, acceptance scope or document requirements.

  1. 01

    Drawing and specifications

    Check the drawing and model revisions, units, critical dimensions, tolerances, surface requirements and other technical notes. Clarify any 2D and 3D conflict in writing before production.

  2. 02

    Material and heat treatment

    Agree the material grade and supplied condition, heat-treatment process, target hardness, test locations and record requirements.

  3. 03

    Inspection plan

    Agree the characteristics, measurement methods, sampling or 100% inspection scope, frequency, acceptance criteria and required reports.

  4. 04

    First-article or pre-production approval

    Where needed, define the first-article or sample inspection scope, photos or measurement records, approval point, and whether written approval is required before batch production continues.

Production and Shipment

Checks and records at three stages

The order defines what is checked, what is recorded and how records are delivered at each stage. Document packages vary by project.

  1. 01

    In-process checks

    Check relevant requirements at the agreed machining or heat-treatment points. Record agreed results or confirmation photos when the project requires them.

  2. 02

    Final inspection

    Check the applicable dimensions, geometry, appearance, surface and hardness items in the agreed inspection plan. Sampling or 100% inspection follows the order.

  3. 03

    Shipment review

    Check quantity, part identification, packaging and agreed documents. The content and delivery method for photos, measurement records or document copies are confirmed for the project.

RFQ Information

Specify required records with your RFQ

State which records or documents you need, including content, language, template and delivery method. Available items and formats are confirmed in the quotation or order after technical review.

Help us review your RFQ faster

Send the following information together so we can confirm manufacturing and inspection scope and estimated lead time.

  • Latest 2D drawing, 3D model and revisions
  • Material grade, supplied condition, quantity and repeat demand
  • Critical dimensions, tolerances, surface and acceptance requirements
  • Heat-treatment requirement, target hardness and test locations
  • Sampling or 100% inspection scope, first-article approval and required reports
  • Marking, packaging, destination and requested delivery date

Start With Your Drawing

Send your drawing and quality requirements

Attach the latest drawing and state the material, quantity, inspection scope, whether first-article approval is needed, required documents and requested delivery date. After technical review, the quotation will confirm the feasible manufacturing scope, inspection checkpoints, documents and estimated lead time.
