Drawing and Requirement Review
Drawings, CAD files, tolerances, materials, finishes, critical features, and quality document requirements are reviewed before supplier matching.
Quality and inspection coordination
Quality & Inspection Support for Custom Parts Sourcing
AF Industrial Supply helps coordinate practical quality steps for custom industrial parts, from drawing review and supplier capability checks to inspection and material review based on customer requirements, part complexity, and supplier capability.
Quality coordination
Checks can be aligned to part complexity and buyer requirements.
Supplier Capability Check
Supplier fit can be evaluated around process capability, material experience, tolerance needs, inspection access, production capacity, and finishing requirements.
Material Confirmation
Material grade, substitute material questions, certificates, and traceability expectations can be reviewed based on the RFQ and purchase requirements.
Dimensional Inspection Coordination
Dimensional checks can be coordinated for critical features, samples, first articles, or production lots when required by the project.
Sample / First Article Approval
Samples or first articles can be used to confirm fit, function, finish, and documentation expectations before production quantities move forward.
Production Updates
Production status, clarification requests, inspection timing, packaging notes, and delivery details can be coordinated during active orders.
Final Inspection Support
Final inspection support can be coordinated when required by the RFQ, drawing, purchase order, part complexity, or production volume.
Nonconforming Parts Communication
If a potential nonconformance is identified, the issue can be documented, communicated, and reviewed for disposition, remake, rework, or other agreed next steps.
Inspection and material review can be coordinated based on customer requirements, part complexity, and supplier capability. Final acceptance criteria should be defined by customer drawings, purchase order requirements, inspection standards, or agreed written specifications.
RFQ
