RFQ process
What Happens After You Submit an RFQ
AF Industrial Supply uses a structured RFQ process to review requirements, match supplier resources, coordinate quotes, and support production, inspection, and delivery details.
Step by step
From request to production and delivery support
- Submit RFQ Send drawings, CAD files, sample photos, material, quantity, target lead time, and quality requirements.
- Technical Review Requirements are reviewed for manufacturability, missing details, tolerance risk, material needs, and application fit.
- Supplier Matching The RFQ is matched with supplier resources based on part type, process, material, tolerance, quantity, and availability.
- Quote & Lead Time You receive pricing, lead time, assumptions, sample options, and clarifying questions when needed.
- Sample or First Article Samples or first articles can be coordinated for fit, function, finish, and documentation review before production.
- Production Approved orders move into production with updates and coordination around documentation, packaging, and schedule.
- Inspection & Delivery Support Inspection, final checks, packaging, labeling, shipping details, and repeat-order notes can be coordinated when required.
