From initial brief to load plan
Match supplier options
Compare a stock part against a custom drawing on equivalent pack quantities and Incoterms. A stock line can suit a split order if supplier availability and dimensions are verified. Custom tooling adds approval steps and changes the cost basis.
Coordinate inspection
For a centering ring, record ID, OD, overall height and chamfers against the drawing. For a fastener, verify thread pitch and seat geometry on the sample. Agree the inspection method, lot and acceptance criteria with the buyer and inspector.
Reconcile the handoff
Compare PO lines with the packing list, carton marks, part labels and pallet counts. In a multi-supplier consolidation, reconcile cartons by supplier and SKU before the freight partner takes custody.
